Eleonore Koury RMT, CMT
Eleonore has studied and experienced varying spiritual and healing traditions since
1991. She holds a BA in Psychology and is a Certified Reiki Master Teacher and
Massage Therapist. She has journeyed the Topanga, Santa Monica, Santa Barbara, San
Bernardino, Laguna, Santa Ana mountains and beaches as well as the gorges and
beaches of Crete, Greece and Molokai and Maui, Hawaii. Since 1996 she has connected
with the sacred and healing aspects of sites she is led to. Through a combination of
energy work, body work and the natural elements, Eleonore creates the space for
individuals to experience clearing, healing, and alignment with their highest good.
In 2002 Eleonore experienced the quickening of her spiritual evolution and was guided
to make changes in her life. Following her inner guidance she completed her work of 5
years in the substance abuse and violence prevention field with youth as educator and
counselor, simplified her life, and began her sabbatical.
She started Sacred Ventures, leading sacred wilderness journeys in the Santa Monica
and Orange County Mountains and Beaches. The focus was to bring people to the
healing and teaching elements of nature, to restore and renew the spirit, to assist in
their reconnection to the sacred, and awaken to their higher selves.
In 2003 she was guided to pilgrimage to Crete, Greece, the birth place of a highly
evolved civilization known as the Minoan Civilization. Eleonore, a survivor of the 1967
and 1975 wars in Lebanon, felt spiritually called to travel during the outbreak of yet
another war on the Gulf Coast. She felt that this pilgrimage would in some way,
uncover within her psyche, and the psyche of the collective, the memory of a time and
place where people and the environment co-habitated in peace, harmony, trade, arts,
and prosperity.
She returned to the US with a renewed vision of what was and what is possible. She
was drawn to institutions and events that spoke of this vision of a renewed world. She
worked collaboratively with varying teachers and healers ranging from work with the
orphaned children of South Africa to environmental arts projects to restore balance in
the psyche of our world.
She was then led to return to Los Angeles in service both to her Family and her
community. It was in service to her Aunt Fay, who was in her last year of battling
cancer, that she began to feel the tug towards the healing arts. Fay nudged her
towards energy medicine and encouraged Eleonore to expand her natural gift to heal.
Soon after her Aunt's transition, Eleonore attended a Spirit Quest through the ARAS
Foundation on Molokai, Hawaii. As in ancient indigenous traditions, the week-long
retreat prepared her for a 36 hour quest in the wilderness. Similarly to her journey to
Crete, Eleonore was profoundly impacted by her experience in subtle ways. Upon her
return to LA, she was attuned to Reiki, leading her to Master Teacher Level. Through
the encouragement and support of her family, she expanded her healing work, and
pursued education at the Institute of Psycho-Structural Balancing, combining bodywork
and energy work to support individuals on their healing and awakening path.
Her work as healer and teacher continues to evolve. Committed to her personal healing
and spiritual path, her passion is to support others on their healing and awakening
path, with a vision of a renewed world connected to divine love, truth, and wisdom, in
alignment with Spirit.
Currently she is based in Los Angeles, CA., combining Sacred Wilderness Journeys and
Reiki, and in private practice as Reiki Master and Massage Therapist.
