Elaine Gorski, COTA/L

Elaine grew up learning about natural medicine at an early age.  Her mother was a nurse and her father was a veteran, Captain of the local fire department, and paramedic.  Her mother introduced the family to holistic healing, vitamins, herbs and special diets from an early age.  Three of Elaine’s six siblings were even born at home. 

As Elaine became older and had a family of her own, her passion for medicine grew.   Elaine started her career as an occupational therapy assistant.  She has experience in hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, nursing homes, schools, and home health.  Her clinical experience exposed her to people living with a wide range of medical conditions and the concepts of conventional medical care.  She quickly found ways to integrate natural healing modalities into her practice to help her patients on a deeper level.

Elaine continued her education into holistic wellness and becoming a certified Holistic Health Coach.  She is formally trained in several holistic modalities and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).  Her passion for TCM led to becoming a certified therapist in Qigong Sensory Therapy (QST), an evidence-based protocol designed to help children with autism, Down syndrome, and cerebral palsy.  She uses her client's detailed history along with unconventional methods to guide clients on their healing journey by providing information and resources.
​
​Elaine created Clinically Balanced.com to provide her family, friends, and colleagues a resource to open the dialogue on natural health topics and perspectives on the integration of natural healing into the conventional medical system.

She has since increased her outreach as the Executive Director and Founder of the nonprofit, Operation Wellness, Inc. (www.operation-wellness.org) that assists firefighters, law enforcement, and military personnel struggling with PTSD, TBI, depression, anxiety, and addiction.  The nonprofit provides information, guidance, and financial assistance on non-traditional and alternative modalities.
