Integrative Massage, Chi Nei Tsang and Resilience Coaching

On Planet Earth pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. Lucky for us, we are designed to take what is painful and digest it literally and metaphorically to grow, heal, and become more free. The problem is that the world convinces us to forget that, to push the pain away, chase the pleasure, exile what is painful in us, and the running keeps us suffering. My job is to use my various tools to support you in finding the ease in your body so you can safely feel for yourself what's happening in your own system. When you feel, you heal, pain becomes just a messenger of what you need to take care of, and suffering ends. Freedom.

Here's how:

Integrative massage: Using bodywork techniques I've been acquiring since 1993, I help you relax, meet, and melt tension, pain, and injuries that can keep you from performing as your optimal self whether in daily life or athletic pursuits.

Chi Nei Tsang: If you live with depression, anxiety, traumatic memories, difficulty with menopause or menses, fertility, fibroids, impotence, digestive issues, structural issues, chronic illness, genetic illness, migraines, addiction, or any physical or emotional issues that leave you feeling overwhelmed, it is understandably easy to believe that suffering is just how your life is and always will be. Going to your literal core (your belly) shows you that you contain within you the real power to face all that happens in your life. As you find your own gentle power with the help of an objective observer (my hands) and your expanded breath, you can unwind old patterns on all levels and heal your life.

Resilience Coaching based on Compassionate Inquiry: This is a verbal technique utilizing questions that help you get to a different perspective: one where you find the safety of compassion (your own as well as mine) to move past the stories you've been using against yourself and safely into your somatic, feeling self. When you know the haven of feeling whatever is happening in you, you can make choices based on your truth rather than your fear.

We get better at feeling, we get better at living. Resilience is your right.

What Clients say: Resilience Coaching

Ioanna, artist and Mother

With her gentle gaze that feels like it reaches straight through a laptop screen, her soothing voice, and her bright, compassionate spirit, she showed me — and keeps showing me — how to stay grounded in my body and lovingly embrace my emotions. 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. Even from our first sessions together, I have been feeling 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. I have never felt a valley too deep for entering with Ellie.

Beth, Psychiatrist

Monica, Yoga Teacher

"After a few sessions with Ellie, something was different in me, something was kind of missing. I realized that in our treatments, I was literally digesting emotional charges and what was missing was the emotion attached to my stories. Now I have histories that don't have the glue of emotion."

Monica, Yoga Teacher

“Weeks after a Chi Nei Tsang session, I still experience changes in my thoughts and insights about myself. My consciousness has increased in how I function in my work and relationships and what makes me unhappy in those as well. I have better insights on my motives and reasons for choices. Insights– clearly the greatest thing we can give ourselves!!! You can feel how it opens you up for something greater in life….Awesome feeling!”

Deb, Dancer/Choreographer

"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, I started having dreams that left me with no question that I needed to start doing what I love to do, I needed to be choreographing and dancing again. So, I began. I know those dreams had everything to do with my treatments from Ellie."

“My pronated knee issues are dwindling away. I am able to do full deep squats now. My circulation is improving. My joints have less congestion so better fluidity. Habits and behaviours that have tripped me up for years are easing up. Some, not an issue any longer. They have lost their charge. Mother buttons lessening! … My sexual energy and sense of humor are coming out more. I’m more relaxed. I can be in situations that usually have me uncomfortable on some level.”
