About Ellie Davis

Welcome to Blooming Being Chi Nei Tsang! Since 1993, I’ve used my creative skills as a bodyworker, actress, and writer all around the US and destinations dotting the globe.

After practicing conventional massage since 1993, I began learning Chi Nei Tsang in 2008 from master teacher Gilles Marin and over time fulfilled Teacher Level status from the Chi Nei Tsang/TaoTouch Institute in Berkeley, CA.

After many years of running around the world trying to find something, ANYTHING, to take away the pain left from a childhood with a high ACE score (then the pain left by the things I was using to numb the pain) I was lucky enough to stumble inwards and find my own belly. The last thing I thought I could do was leave behind the generational shame and rage that I believed was me, but, once I found my own belly button, I found the entrance to my core. Once I found this portal, I found I was so much more than what I had supposed myself to be for far too long.  

This journey to the core has gone ever deeper, and has opened me to questioning more and more the beliefs I've held about myself and life. In September of 2023, those questions lead me to the work of Compassionate Inquiry, the counseling approach developed and taught by Gabor Maté and Sat Dharam Kaur. Here I found the wisdom and grace of compassion for the child I kept blaming for the wrongs in my personage. Bullseye! Overt compassion for the child that grew into the adult me was precisely what was missing in my long search for healing.

In the churnings of my life, I have discovered that the more I honestly face and accept and feel whatever is happening in me with compassion, the less control fear has over me, the more I have the freedom to be what I really am. In other words, I bloom. I am honored and grateful to be able to share this gift and to help others to also bloom.

These days, I love flow in whatever form it takes, be it in a CNT or coaching session, meditation, hiking, tango, travel adventures, acting, and, yes, performing burlesque. Having Colorado as my heart's home instilled a deep reverence for nature in me, and that love continues to nurture me wherever I am on the planet.
