Chi Nei Tsang, Integrative Massage, and Resilience Coaching

My job is to support you in finding resilience in your body and mind. Resilience comes with being free to feel through every situation life brings. When we tend to ourselves with compassion, we feel, we heal, and suffering (pain is inevitable, suffering is optional) ends. Freedom.

These are my tools:

Chi Nei Tsang: Chi Kung powered, deep, yet extremely gentle massage focused on the abdomen (aka the Second Brain) supports you to unwind old patterns and heal your life. The ancient Taoists who developed CNT understood that when you treat the body you are simultaneously treating the mind.

Integrative massage: Using bodywork techniques I've been acquiring since 1993, I help you relax and melt tension, pain, and injuries that can keep you from performing as your optimal self whether in daily life or athletic pursuits.

Resilience Coaching based on Compassionate Inquiry: This is a verbal technique utilizing questions that help you get to a different perspective: one where you find the safety of compassion (your own as well as mine) to move past the stories you've been using against yourself and safely into your somatic, feeling self.

When you know that you are safe to feel whatever is happening in you, you have the power to make choices based on your truth rather than your fear.

We get better at feeling, we get better at living.

Resilience is your right.

What Clients say: Resilience Coaching

Ioanna, artist and Mother

With her gentle gaze that feels like it reaches straight through a laptop screen, her soothing voice, and her bright, compassionate spirit, she showed me — and keeps showing me — how to stay grounded in my body and lovingly embrace my emotions. How to approach the parts of myself that I had hidden away in the Shadow, hold them tenderly, and ask them with genuine curiosity and an open heart what they want to share with me. Even from our first sessions together, I have been feeling calmer, more centered, and with a heart full of warmth.

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. I have never felt a valley too deep for entering with Ellie.

Beth, Psychiatrist

Monica, Yoga Teacher

"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."

Monica, Yoga Teacher

“Weeks after a Chi Nei Tsang session, I still experience changes in my thoughts and insights about myself. My consciousness has increased in how I function in my work and relationships and what makes me unhappy in those as well. I have better insights on my motives and reasons for choices. Insights– clearly the greatest thing we can give ourselves!!! You can feel how it opens you up for something greater in life….Awesome feeling!”

Deb, Dancer/Choreographer

"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, I started having dreams that left me with no question that I needed to start doing what I love to do, 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. I am able to do full deep squats now. My circulation is improving. My joints have less congestion so better fluidity. Habits and behaviours that have tripped me up for years are easing up. Some, not an issue any longer. They have lost their charge. Mother buttons lessening! … My sexual energy and sense of humor are coming out more. I’m more relaxed. I can be in situations that usually have me uncomfortable on some level.”
