Shape Shifting the Experience of Your Life
Ongoing Zoom Sessions 2024-2025
Tuesday evenings at 7pm
We have all had past experiences that are hurtful, self-denying, confusing, and/or scary.
These experiences become wired into our reactive emotional brains and nervous systems.
In addition, we layer on our “story” about who we are, whether we are worthy, and what we can expect.
Parts of us are afraid to change and so we repeat old patterns that frustrate us.
**There are tools, there are new vantage points, there is awakening from the old dream…

Services
Offerings to support your healing, your growth and your becoming!
Private Sessions
Not only does bodywork enhance your counseling session, it allows you a more intuitive, felt experience of healing, release, and transformation. Many clients feel a deeper sense of peace and integration afterward. Adding HeartMath technology, you can see the effects of your focus, breath, and emotion in real time results.
Groups
Sharing your experiences with others can seem frightening at first, yet groups can provide a strong sense of connection, community and seeing the universality of our human experience. Sixteen- session groups addressing the links between trauma and addictive behavior are available.
Equine-Assisted Explorations
And then... you might decide to share your feelings, your heart coherence, and your expanding sense of self with a horse. They reflect you with honesty uncluttered by judgement.
This can be an adjunct to any service.
No skill necessary, all work is on the ground.
Online Classes
These are classes that I offer occasionally on Zoom inspired by my encounters with life and insights from a humble observer. They focus on all things that remind us of our possibility and the awareness we need to see the narratives that keep us small.
A video series is in progress.
A new dreaming group will be starting up in Spring of 2023.
This is a powerful way to open your awareness with love and create new dreams for your life! Click here for more information.

"The moment that I met Ellen, I knew that I had found somebody with a gift. Ellen's hands-on Jin Shin Do therapy and counseling are extremely effective. I go into altered states every single time she works on me and any life problem I am faced with is handled lovingly and with ease.
"What people say"

Ellen helped me reach my first spiritual awakening when I was in my early 20's. The universe put her in my path once again in my mid 30's, with perfect timing, as I was just entering my recovery from alcoholism. I have done groups, equine sessions and individual counseling/ acupressure sessions with Ellen focusing on trauma and addiction. Working (and it is work, but so worth it) with Ellen has helped me stay on a path to recover my authentic self. She has helped me become aware of my nervous system and given me tools to soothe the upsets. As a person in recovery, my life revolves around support groups the the importance of shared experience. Ellen showed me how we are all mirrors for one another. I have learned so much in groups and I am really looking forward to this next Dreaming group with Ellen. This stuff is magical ya'll.

“To put sessions with Ellen into words is not an easy feat, but I would describe her style as holistic. Through working with her, I've gotten in touch with my mind, body, and spirit. Rather than focusing on one area, she helps me look at the big picture and find multiple solutions. I can't thank her enough for supporting me to change my life"
