Chi Nei Tsang, Integrative Massage, and Resilience Coaching

With her gentle gaze that feels like it reaches straight through a laptop screen, her soothing voice, and her bright, compassionate spirit, she has shown me — and continues to show me — how to stay grounded in my body and lovingly embrace my emotions. Through her resilience coaching, I have learned 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. Additionally, our work together, including practices like Chi Nei Tsang, has improved my gut health and helped me feel 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. 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 and the resilience coaching she provided.

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, all of which contributes to my resilience coaching journey.
