You are not your pain

After a few sessions with Ellie, something was different in me, something was kind of missing. I realized that in our treatments, I was literally digesting emotional charges and what was missing was the emotion attached to my stories. Now I have histories that don't have the glue of emotion.

Ellie is incredible at what she does. I came to her after really hurting my back and was dealing with a ton of pain and tension through my low back and left hip. She somehow knew exactly where my body needed attention. Her belly work in particular was unlike anything I’ve experienced before. I could actually feel areas that had been clenched and holding on begin to soften and let go.

I felt completely safe with Ellie, which allowed me to really relax into the work instead of fighting against it. I left with so much relief in my back and hip, but also feeling more open, grounded, and connected to my body than I had in a long time.

As a massage therapist myself, I’m pretty particular about bodywork, and Ellie is truly special. She listens to the body in a way that’s hard to put into words. Her work stayed with me long after I got off the table, and I’m so grateful I found her.

The presence Ellie has is very rare and not something that can be taught. The kind of presence she carries comes from her own inner work and probably from emerging from experiences of being in pretty dark places. Through her journey, she has developed a deep understanding of gut health, which enhances her resilience coaching. I have never felt a valley too deep for entering with Ellie.

When I started having sessions with Ellie, I was experiencing this annoying feeling just under the surface that I wasn't doing what I was supposed to be doing in my life. After a few sessions, which included some insights on Chi Nei Tsang and its impact on gut health, I began having dreams that left me with no question that I needed to start doing what I love—I needed to be choreographing and dancing again. So, I began. I know those dreams had everything to do with my treatments from Ellie.

My pronated knee issues are dwindling away, thanks in part to Chi Nei Tsang practices. I can now do full deep squats, and my gut health is improving as a result. My circulation is better, and my joints experience less congestion, allowing for better fluidity. The habits and behaviors that have tripped me up for years are easing up—some are no longer an issue at all. They have lost their charge. The mother buttons are lessening! My sexual energy and sense of humor are emerging more, and I feel more relaxed. I can navigate situations that usually make me uncomfortable.
