When I first heard Elivia's music in 2003, I couldn't walk unaided. I had a wheelchair for long distances and used a cane the rest of the time. After her concert I walked to my car without pain. Now I use her CDs every night to meditate and to relax my feet. Her music is for everyone who is looking for peace of mind, body and spirit - healing on all levels. I'm a walking example of what her healing music can do. Elivia sits on the Board of Directors of Angel Harps and has performed with her ensemble for the Angel Harps concerts in 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2008.
