Welcome, I’m Ellen.

In the not too distant past I suffered a debilitating chronic illness known as Long COVID. It rocked my world and stripped me of my identity as a mom, writer and athlete. The worst part is that the medical community could not help me recover so I slipped into anxiety, depression and hopelessness. I thought I was doomed, until a wise homeopath said, “you have the power to heal yourself. I see you as 100 percent recovered.” 

That was a light bulb moment. I was no longer a victim of fate–I was empowered! From then on I surrendered and stopped resisting the symptoms and emotions. I changed my mindset and truly believed that I would recover in time. I used mindfulness and meditation techniques to regulate my nervous system, and I discovered Pain Reprocessing Therapy to rewire my brain. I overcame life long anxiety and hypervigilance; and learned how to find peace and safety within my body–for the first time ever. Now I am fully recovered and I want to pay it forward by helping others heal from chronic stress illnesses like mine.

The best part is; not only do you free yourself from chronic illness, but you free yourself from viewing the world as a scary and unsafe place. You can enjoy life, laugh, love and discover inner strength and peace. It is life transforming!

I invite you to take the path of health and happiness and recover from chronic illness in a way that puts YOU in charge of your own recovery. The mind is very powerful and so are the ancient techniques I will share with you.
