Hi I Am Ellen,

I am originally from Long Island, NY. I moved to Arizona in 1980 and have lived in the Phoenix valley and Tucson. I have many siblings and growing up I had to learn how to show up in my own life as I maneuvered through some of life’s difficult situations.

In 2016, I enrolled in Southwest Institute of Healing Arts (SWIHA) where I took a Life Coaching class. The class was amazing, it felt like someone turned on a light inside of me. The instructors and newly developed friendships were key to a new phase of my life.

During this time, SWIHA offered free Hypnotherapy clinics with new students who needed to practice their trade. I wanted to learn more, so I signed up for a couple of sessions. My intentions going into those hypnotherapy sessions were to cover a lack of confidence, trust and focus. After these individual sessions, I felt different … I was told by my fellow classmates that I looked different. The sessions were easy, only an hour, and I was simply asked what I wanted to gain from the session then I just had to close my eyes and relax. Simple!

In March of 2017, I enrolled in Hypnotherapy where I also worked my way up to giving free sessions to the public in these clinics. It was amazing to see and feel the benefits I experienced. I am grateful that I can offer this experience to others so they can gain the benefits of changing a behavior/ habit of their choice.

These experiences have inspired me to help others who feel stuck in a moment or a season, to rediscover their potential self, and be able to overcome challenges while staying grounded with life-altering information.

In 2020, I completed both Yoga Nidra and Advanced Yoga Nidra courses, as well as several Yoga Nidra clinics which provided insights supporting clients to achieve deeper meditation. 

Be like a tree, stand tall, never stop growing, seasons change, be ready & enjoy the view.
