Elyssa Bourke has been evolving as an enabler for people to attain wellness since her undergraduate days as a dance major at Hofstra University from which she graduated with honors in 2001. While she lived in New York City, the desire to help others achieve physical well being put Dr. Bourke on a path of experience that included completion of multiple National Academy of Sports Medicine certifications for personal training, as well as becoming a 200 level Yoga instructor at OM Yoga.

While working at the Sports Club LA in NYC, Dr. Bourke helped a number of clients to manage chronic and injury-related conditions. This stimulated her to further her studies by entering D'Youville College's Doctor of Chiropractic program in Buffalo NY. After completing her degree and graduating in 2009, Dr. Bourke established her chiropractic practice within the East Meets West Yoga Studio where she had been teaching while attending D'Youville. In her practice, Dr. Bourke integrates her clients' functional movements with chiropractic treatment to guide them to a comfortable and a healthy state of being.
