Integrating Ancient Wisdom with Modern Science

Integrative cancer care with a focus on metabolic health, the microbiome, and transformation from cell to soul.

Vessel Wellness is dedicated to supporting individuals at every stage of their cancer journey.

Welcome to a space of healing, transformation, and empowered care. A cancer diagnosis marks a profound shift in life’s journey—one that challenges both body and spirit. It is not an easy path, but it can also be a time of deep transformation, where the body reveals what it truly needs to heal and return to wholeness.

Whether you received your diagnosis and are seeking a comprehensive, multifaceted approach, or you’ve been inspired by Dr. Winters's work and are searching for a practitioner trained in the Metabolic Approach to Cancer, My practice is designed to support your journey toward whole-system health. If you are in remission and want to prevent recurrence while rebuilding your body, or if you have a family history and are looking to take proactive, terrain-based steps to reduce your risk, you are in the right place.

For those navigating a terminal diagnosis, I offer compassionate, natural support as a certified death doula. Together, we will ease symptoms and honor the end-of-life process with dignity and grace, offering you care and guidance in every phase of this sacred transition. No matter where you are in your healing journey, I am here to walk beside you with a holistic approach that integrates mind, body, and spirit.

Welcome to Vessel Wellness

Where we ask the important question of “Where is the room for the human in cancer care?”

I provide evolutionary, holistic oncology support to cancer patients and those who want to improve their inner terrain and live purpose-driven, fulfilled lives. I believe that incorporating the human aspect into the oncology journey allows us to reintegrate all parts of the self on our path to healing.

MEET DR. ELISE SULSER

Honor your body's innate wisdom to heal with Dr. Sulser, a Naturopathic Doctor and Cancer Doula specializing in integrative cancer care with a focus on metabolic health, the microbiome, and transformation from cell to soul

I’m Dr. Elise Sulser ND

I have had the privilege of learning from many different lineages. Along with earning my four-year doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine from Sonoran University of Health Sciences, I have studied Traditional Chinese Medicine and other traditional lineages, and I continue to pursue advanced medical training. This blend of modern and traditional medicines has given me a unique perspective, allowing me to see a nuanced and complete picture of the development and solutions for disease and dysfunction.

Certifications & Experience

  • Licensed Naturopathic Doctor in Arizona and Colorado

I offer support to people from many walks of life and welcome clients who are curious about living holistically.

My approach combines mindfulness practices, cutting-edge science, earth-based practices, nutrition, lifestyle detoxification, and more. I am here to serve those who have been given a cancer diagnosis and know there is more to their story, those who want to feel empowered to understand what changes need to happen to address their specific disease process, and those who seek transformation on every level, from cell to soul.

AS TRUSTED BY:

Client Experiences

  • Dr. Sulser is approachable, perceptive, compassionate, and just so darn smart--while remaining emotionally and spiritually available as a practitioner and fellow human. During the last year of working with her on a number of unexplained health issues, I’ve been in awe of her ability to tap the scientific and the non-linear in equal measure, with aptitude. This is rare; I've worked with talented doctors and wonderful healers, but I've never worked with someone like Dr. Sulser who can draw from a seemingly infinite toolbox, while remaining grounded in real-world analysis. This balance and synthesis, combined with her genuine concern, has made all the difference. I wasn't finding the answers with conventional medicine or alternative practitioners, but Dr. Sulser was able to construct the bridge that my body and mind needed.

    -Patient M.B

  • “Dr. Sulser helped me recover my immunity post-COVID, and significantly improved my fatigue and brain fog. I got sick with COVID in January of last year, and was sick on and off for the following 10 months. Dr. Sulser listened to my story and designed a comprehensive wellness plan for me. Less than a month later I have been able to return to my life as a graduate student and nordic skier. Couldn’t recommend more!” -Patient E.S
