Elyse Bernath: Turning Intuition Into Impact

At four years old, Elyse Bernath had a near-death experience that changed the course of her life, opened her awareness to spiritual connection, and, over time, became the foundation for a life devoted to intuitive work. From that moment, she began communicating with spirits, seeing and hearing what others could not, and connecting with what she describes as her spirit guides. Decades later, that gift has become the foundation and heart of Mystic Moon Spiritual Readings and Energy Healings LLC, a spiritual wellness business built on one simple promise: honesty over illusion.

A Gift That Grew Stronger

Elyse does not call herself a psychic. She describes her ability as a gift from God, one that has deepened and sharpened over more than three decades of practice. Today, she is a licensed and certified tarot card master, a Reiki master, a certified spellcaster, and an intuitive who holds eleven certifications, all listed on her website.

Based in Des Plaines, Illinois, and serving clients nationwide and internationally through remote sessions, Elyse offers intuitive and tarot readings, energy healing, chakra balancing, crystal work, mediumship, spiritual coaching, and customized spellwork. Her services address some of life's most difficult chapters: toxic relationships, emotional trauma, energetic blockages, and major personal transitions.

"I want people to leave my space feeling stronger, clearer, and more connected to their true selves," Elyse says. "Sometimes people come to me when they feel completely lost. My role is to help them see what they may not be able to see at that moment."

Honesty Without the Fluff

What sets Mystic Moon apart is Elyse's refusal to offer false hope. She does not tell clients what they want to hear. If she sees something difficult, she says it. Her goal is clarity, not confusion or dependency.

Yet honesty, in her practice, never means coldness. Clients often say a session with Elyse feels like sitting down with a trusted friend, someone who will listen, understand, and support them while still telling them the truth. That balance of directness and compassion has earned her a loyal following.

"In spiritual work, people are often sharing things they do not feel comfortable telling everyone," she explains. "I want them to know they are being heard, respected, and that their situation truly matters."

Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, Elyse tailors every session to the individual. A tarot reading may begin with a question about love or career, then open into deeper insight about emotional patterns, energetic blocks, and personal growth. The result is a personalized experience, never a generic reading.

Helping Women Reclaim Their Power

A central focus of Elyse's work is empowerment, especially for those navigating toxic relationships, emotional trauma, and life transitions. Her clients have named her "The Relationship Healer," and the title fits. She helps people break unhealthy cycles, reconnect with their intuition, and step into a stronger, more aligned version of themselves.

“Your intuition is already there. Sometimes you just need someone to help you hear it again.”

Elyse does not want clients to become dependent on a reading for every decision. Instead, she teaches them to use spiritual guidance as a tool to rediscover their own voice and confidence.

"So many people have forgotten how powerful they are," she says. "My work is about reminding them." That message runs through her coaching, readings, and educational offerings. Through Sacred Journey Academy, mentorships, and spiritual education, she teaches topics such as manifestation, confidence, ritual intention, and intuitive development. Each service reflects the same central purpose: to support reflection, intention, and personal empowerment.

Her perspective is deeply personal. Elyse is a domestic violence survivor of more than twenty years and now serves as a domestic violence advocate. She is a certified trauma abuse counselor, a certified spiritual life coach, and a certified psychology empath. That lived experience shapes the way she supports clients through heartbreak, rebuilding, and renewal. Those experiences are not side notes in her story. That lived experience is part of the reason Mystic Moon has developed such a human voice.

The Woman Behind the Business

Behind the candles, crystals, and tarot cards is a dedicated entrepreneur, teacher, and mother. Elyse is a single mom raising her son while building a growing brand. She understands, firsthand, what it means to balance family, responsibility, resilience, and ambition.

Her work now extends well beyond one-on-one sessions. Through the Mystical Moon Shop, Elyse offers handcrafted spiritual products, including spell jars, candles, oils, crystals, cleansing tools, and manifestation kits. She is also an author and a teacher, guiding students through her Sacred Journey Academy, mentorships, and transformation programs that cover witchcraft, manifestation, and confidence.

Mystic Moon stands out for its accessibility as well. It is one of the few shops in the area to offer free consultations, along with payment installments and payment plans for those who qualify. All spiritual and spell work is handled case by case, with custom work available for clients in genuine need.

Her growing recognition includes a feature on Business Radio X, expanding media exposure, and a steady stream of returning clients and referrals. Elyse continues to build momentum through social media, live events, and educational programs.

Recognized for Excellence

That growing recognition reached a significant milestone in 2026 when Mystic Moon Spiritual Readings and Energy Healings LLC was named Best Mystical & Spiritual Business in Illinois of 2026 by Evergreen Awards. The recognition highlights the breadth of Elyse Bernath’s work, including intuitive guidance, tarot, Reiki, energy healing, spiritual coaching, relationship guidance, customized spellwork, spiritual education, and metaphysical products. With more than three decades of experience and a commitment to personalized, compassionate, and honest spiritual services, the award reflects the distinctive approach Bernath has developed through Mystic Moon. For Elyse, the recognition represents more than an accolade—it marks another milestone in the growth of a business built around helping people find clarity, reconnect with their inner strength, and move forward with greater confidence and purpose.

What Clients Say

The results speak through the people she has helped. "If you are looking for someone who is direct yet compassionate, I highly recommend Elyse," one client shared. Another described her session this way: "The insights I received were thoughtful, compassionate, and incredibly accurate. I left feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected to my path."

Others point to practical change. "Within the first week I noticed a difference in the way I was spending my money and making financial decisions," one reviewer wrote. "After this spell I have actually been able to keep track of my finances and put money away. Trust me, you will not be disappointed."

A Calling, Not Just a Business

For Elyse, Mystic Moon is far more than a company. It is a calling built on more than three decades of spiritual development and a deep commitment to helping people heal. As she puts it, "Healing is not a destination. It is a journey back to yourself."

“I want people to leave my space feeling stronger, clearer, and more connected to their true selves,” Bernath says. “Sometimes people come to me when they feel completely lost. My role is to help them see what they may not be able to see at that moment.” That philosophy has helped define her reputation. Clients often describe her as warm, direct, and personal, someone who can listen with compassion while still saying what she believes needs to be said.
