Hidden Gems: Meet Elizabeth Wyan of Inner Stillness Holistics

Today we’d like to introduce you to Elizabeth Wyan.

Elizabeth, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I am a Reiki Master and Board Certified Reflexologist with a lifelong passion for caring for others. My journey in the medical community began at just 16 years old, when I became an EMT for my local life squad in Maine. After relocating to Cincinnati, I went on to serve as a Paramedic for 16 years with several local fire departments, and later worked for the Cincinnati Eye Bank, where I had the honor of procuring corneas for transplant across the Tristate for a decade.
​
After personally experiencing the profound healing effects of Reiki, I felt called to learn this beautiful practice and share it with others. The positive impact it has had on my own life—and on those around me—has inspired me to shift from traditional emergency medicine to a more holistic approach to health and well-being.
​
As a Reflexologist, I am continually amazed by the body’s natural intuition and how stimulating specific reflex points on the hands and feet can support the body’s own healing processes. When used proactively, reflexology helps maintain balance and overall wellness.
​
I also incorporate essential oils into daily life and practice, both through aromatherapy and therapeutic-grade applications, as they offer powerful support for the body’s ability to stay balanced and healthy.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Starting your own business is always a challenge, the first couple of years I worked at a wellness center while building my own practice which meant working 7 days a week. Now that I have been able to build the practice up I am able to devote all my time to my clients and helping improve their quality of life. Also opening a business on the heels of Covid, I found people were still shy about going out and doing things. Thankfully in the last couple of years that fear has started to subside.

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I built my practice around natural solutions that support the body’s own ability to heal. Everything I offer is designed to reduce stress and create the conditions the body needs to restore balance—without adding anything that works against it.
My core modalities include Reiki (a deeply calming, meditative experience), reflexology (which works through the hands, feet, and face to help the nervous system and body systems come into greater harmony), and vibroacoustic sound therapy on one of the only specialized sound beds in the city. Essential oils can be incorporated into any session for additional support. To continually deepen the work I offer, I have studied with practitioners from England, Canada, and Israel, expanding my skills into specialized techniques such as non-surgical face-lift reflexology and fascia release in the feet that benefits the whole body.
In spring 2026 I was honored to receive City Beat’s Best of Holistic Medicine award in Cincinnati. With 40 years of experience in healthcare, I bring both depth of knowledge and a highly personalized approach—meeting each client exactly where they are emotionally and physically.
What I’m most proud of is creating a space that is consistently aligned with wellness, right down to the details: no plastic water bottles, only practices that lighten the body’s load rather than add to it. Clients come for relaxation and stress relief; they leave with a clearer sense of ease and a body that has been given room to do what it does best—heal.

In terms of your work and the industry, what are some of the changes you are expecting to see over the next five to ten years?
I see the industry moving toward greater integration over the next 5–10 years. Western medicine has traditionally been more reactive—treating illness once it appears—while holistic approaches have long focused on supporting the body’s natural systems to prevent imbalance in the first place. We are already seeing early signs of that gap narrowing: more physicians referring patients for complementary care, growing consumer demand for prevention and stress management, and increasing openness to modalities that calm the nervous system and support overall wellness.
My hope—and my work—is to help bridge that gap. As more people look for practical ways to stay well rather than only treat disease, practices like mine that emphasize relaxation, nervous-system support, and non-invasive tools will become a more natural part of a complete health picture. I’m excited to be part of that shift.
