As A Healing Guide, Here’s How I Can Help

Personal Coaching

I provide personal coaching to individualize the program for your needs. We will work together to practice the tools that will help you manage your challenge and bring you to greater health and wellbeing. I use non-medical, non-addictive and non medication techniques that can help you start feeling better immediately.

Mind/Body Practices

We’ll begin by healing and regulating your nervous system so your body can “learn” to be in rest, repair and digest. Through breath work, meditation, mindfulness and visualization, you can take small steps to shift out of automaticity and habitual patterns and into intentional, helpful thoughts/actions that will lead you to achieve your goals. You will use the power of your mind to create a balanced nervous system, helpful biochemistry in your brain, and a healthy environment in your body.

Your Symptoms Are 100% Real …

But the root cause may be a misinterpretation of nervous system signals to your brain. It’s as though a danger signal (alarm button) in your autonomic nervous system will not turn off. This has been studied and researched by Dr. John Sarno, a pioneer of neuroplastic pain and brain retraining. I studied under Dr. Sarno’s predecessor, Alan Gordon, the author of the book, The Way Out. He has advanced the field of neuroplastic pain by creating a program that eliminates symptoms of chronic illness by calming the nervous system and sending safety signals to the brain. By doing this, we turn off the danger signals to our brain, and create new neural pathways of safety and calm. I implemented this program to eliminate my anxiety, fear, and symptoms of chronic illness and I now I am certified to teach Pain Reprocessing Therapy with clients so they can recover too. PRT is backed by scientific studies (see Resources) and has been shown to eliminate chronic back pain, migraines, fibromyalgia. IBS, TMJ and many more chronic stress disorders.

Working Together...

I hope we can work together to recover your health, happiness and zeal for life. This transformational program may change the way you view the world and have lasting effects on your mental health, mindset and perception of anxiety, depression, chronic illness and chronic stress.

I recommend six weekly coaching sessions for best results. Each 60 minute coaching session is $95. Pay individually or pay for 6 upfront and receive a $80 discount ($580 reduced to $500).

Regulating your nervous system workshop participant

I’ve been working with Ellen since January of 2024.

She has made such an impact on my recovery from long covid. I had an out of control nervous system and with Ellen’s help I can now get myself out of fight/flight and into rest and restore pretty reliably ! such a win. This has allowed me to advance my physical stamina and return to short hikes. I would certainly not be where i am today without her.

Mindful Long COVID Recovery Workshop participant

“Before Long COVID I was a positive and productive person…

Tailored automation solutions transformed our workflow. Enhanced performance and saved time. A must-have for businesses aiming for efficiency.

After working with Ellen I am regaining my positive outlook and belief in what I can do – instead of getting caught-up in what I cannot do.”

Betsy

Mind/Body workshop participant

I have never written a review before. But this is special.

Long Covid was ruining me. I had no hope. Not only did Ellen’s therapies and positive convictions restore hope but also gave significant help to my symptoms. There is so much that I can do now – mostly participate in life again! And believe in my own power of healing. It is indeed real.
