Healing Work
I’m an experienced energy healer, mentor coach and holistic practitioner with more than 8 certifications. Since 1999 I’ve worked with thousands of clients, mostly women. I’ve helped them with a wide variety of issues and at different stages of their lives. Often they find me when they’ve already done a fair amount of healing work, therapy or personal growth–at a point when they are truly DONE with old patterns and ready for some real freedom and a a quantum leap in their confidence and self-esteem, emotional health, relationships, finances or businesses.
I work mainly with people who are seeking faster progress or deeper clearing. They love working with me because we get to the core issues and clear them quickly. Yes, the work is fast–but not instant. Clearing most patterns takes some consistent work–but not years! We get down to work right away–this is no fluff.
How fast will it go? Everyone’s healing process is different and it also depends on how many interrelated issues you have going on. But, if you’ve done a fair amount of clearing work in the past, your progress will tend to be faster.
How many sessions is hard to say in advance, and depends also on your goals for working with me. But we’ll have a lot clearer sense after the first session.
If you’d like to get started, here’s how: First we will explore in an initial conversation (free consult of about 20 minutes). If it’s a green light, we’ll then set up your first full session. From there, if it feels like a good fit, I will invite you to commit to working with me over a period of 3 months to a year.
I can’t promise any specific results in a specific time frame (question anyone who does!), but I can promise that y ou will have the fuel and support you need to make long lasting changes. You will make shifts, you will feel different, and many of those changes will feel natural and effortless. As clients have said, “You don’t have to work to be different, you just are!”
To translate the inner shifts you make working with me, into long lasting tangible results, you will usually need to take action. You might realize that you need to take a stand for yourself, set boundaries, change habits. You might see that it’s time to leave a job, relationship or lifestyle that is harming you or holding you back.
Other times, working with me will help you navigate a transition, or deal better with situations and conditions you cannot leave or change.
Practical actions and help may also be needed. We can work on money issues or confidence but until you take different, new actions, you won’t see the strongest results. Along with way you might discover a skills gap–where you need to learn new ways to encourage and mentor yourself, manage emotions better, develop communication skills or gain some financial education.
Awesome in collaboration: My work can be a great accelerator and enhancement of the work you are already doing with other professionals (therapists, healers, health practitioners, financial and business guides), as it provides powerful energetic shifts and helps you create new neural pathways.
What does my work do?
Build or strengthen your foundation for ALL happiness and well-being, for success and enjoying success: A healthy relationship with yourself, where we tranform:
The inner critic to using empowering self talk
Self neglect to self care
Overgiving to self-nurturing
Self doubt to self confidence
Hesitation and not speaking up, to creating and keeping boundaries
Putting the oxygen mask on themselves first.
This work usually includes inner repair-enting work. This often goes beyond the basics of inner child work, since my toolkit includes things you may not have experienced.
Emotional empowerment: Rather than be ruled by emotions, hide from them, avoid, bury or medicate them, I teach clients how feelings are messengers, they are a natural part of life, and how to access their hidden secret powers for getting you want you want in life.
Teaching you new perspectives and tools for shifting your energy and vibration at will:
Reclaim your sovereignty and sense of personal power, your groundedness and trust in yourself.
Connect or re-connect to your unique Feminine Presence, accept and celebrate your body and beauty, and use your Feminine Power of desire and magnetism to attract what you want.
I specialize in people who feel stuck in the same looping patterns–usually, unsatifsying relationships, I attract people who are already self-aware and have done some inner work, but the core issues are still largely unhealed…or people who wanI’ve worked with thousands of clients, mostly women, with a wide range of issues, and stages of life. I’ve seen a lot, and I’ve overcome a lot in my own healing journey so I bring a very wide-open accepting space of whatever you’re dealing with. My own journey of healing, growing from many life challenges, career changes, a series of relationships I myself lived shy and in the background for many years. so I really understand that. My own journey of healing, growing from many life challenges, and expanding through risk taking, allows me to guide and inspire other women to find their courage, to be seen and heard, and live unapologetically.
I support my clients to emerge from their ‘cocoon’ and fly free from the old stories of past pain, trauma, and disappointment. I help them learn to stand in their own truth, and escape the tyranny of other people’s opinions and judgements. From that place they begin to honor and trust their feelings, and inner knowing. They learn to set boundaries and treat themselves with love and compassion. They find the strength to stand for what really matters.
I’ve walked in two worlds for many years. I’ve had dual careers–one in business and finance with an MBA/CPA. The other career as a healer, coach and counselor includes extensive training (more than 8 certifications) and working with more than 3000 clients individually or in groups and classes. My work is heart centered, spiritual and nature-based, deeply practical and well grounded.
What’s working with me like, and how fast does it work?
I am no longer surprised to hear this from my clients: “A single session with you was like a year of talk therapy” because I’ve heard that quite a bit.
We do get right to the point with these sessions, clear things on multiple levels, not only the mental conscious awareness so the work is deeper and more thorough, and we cover a LOT of ground!
Of course, individual results will vary. It depends largely on a few things– your goals for the work, and how many layers there are to clear, and how quickly your system processes change.
The process is fast, laser focused and powerful, but not scary or overwhelming. You’ll enter a place of safety where healing is so much easier as you receive the benefits of my counseling skills, compassion, warmth and finely tuned sensitivity. I’m known for holding you in a caring non-judgmental presence, so that you feel seen, heard, and met. With encouragement, humor, playfulness, and calm groundedness, you find hope and inspiration. I offer you fresh perspectives and wisdom from a lifetime of studying the human spirit and the process of healing, plus teachings around natural cycles and the ways of the feminine. I can also teach you some simple grounded and emotional self-care techniques.
I support you to forgive yourself and be open to fresh starts. You widen your sense of what is possible for you and and can expand your horizons–and your life–with ease and grace.
It’s common to feel noticeable results from a single session, and to make significant progress in one area in just a few sessions. When you choose to work with me over a longer time frame, 6 months to a year, you can clear long standing issues and old patterns. You can receive support to move through challenges or times of transition, loss or uncertainty. You can even reinvent one more more area of your life!
Why is the work powerful and fast? A big reason are the techniques themselves. I always sought out techniques that are powerful and efficient–that quickly get to the root of things and clear them. another reason results are magnified is because we work with many levels at once. We work with the conscious mind (which is where many therapies and coaching stop) PLUS the subconscious mind, the energy field and nervous stem also get addressed.
The other reason is a bit more mysterious and intangible. It has to do with my frequency–my vibration or my energy–and how it impacts people. Often, people change just being around me–not only clients, but friends, and people who read my blog. There seems to be an alchemy that occurs, maybe because my whole life has been about deep transformation. (If you know astrology, my chart with most of the planets in the 8th and 9th houses and 4 planets in the 29th degree).
Not only my energy but my intention for each person I work with and for each person whose life I touch: It is my prayer and intention to facilitate rapid healing and growth. Life is so speeded up now–and my clients are people who don’t want to wait months or years to see change!
Who is this work for?
The way I work is gentle but direct, so it’s only for those who are ready and willing to change. You do need to reach the Point of Choice–where you say, enough of this old pattern, I am ready for a change. Even if it feels a little scary and unknown. I will support you in self-acceptance and non-judgement, and help you come the point of making new empowering choices, but ultimately you are the one who has to choose.
Sometimes we can’t see ourselves clearly or know how ready we are…this is something I am happy to explore with you in an initial conversation. If it’s not the right time, I will recommend other options.
My work can be for a particular season or reason. I also have long term mentoring clients who I’ve supported at various points in their lives.
I love making a difference in my clients lives. Often someone will work ith me for a while, until they feel happy with the shifts. But then they return months or even years later to clear through other issues or new layers that come up. It’s been my honor and a precious gift, to know and work with an inner circle of clients for more than 20 years. For them I am a trusted mentor and guide, where they know they can tap in as they need to. There’s a special magic in being heard, witnessed and held by someone who’s known you a long time.
What can I expect in a session?
I create and hold a safe and sacred space in which all things are possible I do my best to offer you a non-judgmental, welcoming presence, where you can feel deeply seen, heard and received. I promise to provide compassion, warmth, powerful insight, encouragement and playfulness where your healing can be gentler and easier but also faster. Even long standing patterns that feel like ‘this is just who I am’ can be changed.
Despite what you may have been told–or experienced in the past–healing doesn’t have to be hard, painful or take forever. Some courage and willingness to be look at some uncomfortable things IS needed, but working with me makes it all easier and more joyful.
As a pattern detective & block buster, Ellen is an expert in uncovering and helping you clear what has been boxing you in and holding you back. She knows exactly what to look for, and how to help you clear the conditioning and slave-self programs that are not serving you.
What kind of stuff gets uncovered? It might include childhood patterns, suppressed memories, stuck emotions, trauma, abuse or neglect….it might also be inherited or ancestral stuff, past life issues, money blocks, not feeling worthy and deserving, inability to set boundaries, self-neglect, impostor syndrome and other confidence challenges, loyalty and poverty vows, chakra distortions, and energetic interference from others.
What does a session actually look like–what happens?
Ellen works intuitively and is also guided by kinesiology or muscle checking (a way to access the subconscious mind). She moves fluidly through the session—each one is unique—but is also guided by systems and structures. She has a massive toolkit of techniques to tap into and tests to see which tool will work best in the moment. That toolkit includes energy psychology techniques such as Resonance Repatterning and EFT/Tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique), energy healing and clearing, coaching, intuitive and movement modalities. It may also include shamanic clearing, Reiki and Polarity, sound healing, movement and dance, principles of Chinese medicine, ancestral alchemy, the Art of Feminine Presence and sacred Daoist sexuality.
A session is generally 75 minutes, but we allow for 90 minutes for the first session. Ellen works mainly by phone or online (video or audio only, using Zoom, WhatsApp or Facetime), by appointment. For best results, Ellen recommends a 3 or 6 session package, or a longer more customized program that includes other services and benefits beyond the sessions themselves. The process begins with an initial conversation and a single session.
