I was someone who had, for many years, scoffed at the idea of my life needing "coaching." I didn't understand the role of a life coach and thought it was all about doling out advice I didn't feel I needed. I was so very wrong on every level. At the recommendation of a family member who knows and loves Ellie, I sought her out for guidance around some deeply personal and artistic challenges I was facing.

She is intuitive, sensitive, and funny. She made sure she had a clear idea of my concerns, then guided me through exercises designed to help me tap into my own intuition and wisdom. I immediately budgeted several sessions with her and continue to reach out when I feel I could use her guidance.

Our sessions always strike just the right balance between insightful, sincere, and, at times, light-hearted. She is always professional and always compassionate. I walk away from each session feeling like I have been given a huge gift. I can't say enough good things about Ellie; she is clearly practicing what she was born to do, and my life is better for it.

The best part is experiencing myself in typical situations in entirely different ways—where my lived experience doesn't match my expected experience. This possibility provides me with hope and excitement for the future. The experience feels enriching, safe, nurturing, and fulfilling.

Ellie truly has a gift of meeting people where they are. Because of our work together, I have a much better, calmer, and less painful life. I have clearer relationships with my loved ones. I'm a better partner to my husband and a better mother to my children. I feel more confident in areas where I struggled before—for instance, I used to be very anxious and avoidant of making phone calls, but am now able to do so.

Ellie will support you, understand you, and make your life better. I am truly grateful for this work and especially for her willingness to share it with others.

In the early days, she supported me in navigating a tricky new relationship. The benefits of that coaching were enormous—I am happily married now! Through our work together, I've been able to find balance in other important relationships, notably with my cousins. I've also gained the confidence to walk away from activities that aren't beneficial to me.

One of my biggest revelations has been understanding that people in my life are a mixed bag. Their good and not-so-good qualities can coexist, and I can recognize this truth while still navigating the relationship effectively.

I would absolutely recommend Ellie, and I have done so many times.

Her approach has provided an element of personal accountability to the work, which I love. Working with her has been life-changing, authentic, challenging yet rewarding, comforting, and relatable.

Through Ellie's support, I now show up better for myself by creating emotional and physical boundaries in situations where, in the past, I continued to give and give to the point of exhaustion. I can now make a decision to rest or say no without feeling guilty.

My most recent 'a-ha' moment was learning to hold space to be aware of others' feelings or experiences without 'owning' those feelings or experiences. It's helped me regain a balance of compassion and empathy without feeling responsible to fix, make better, or carry the burden.

I ABSOLUTELY recommend working with Ellie! A dear friend who now works with her didn't have to hear from me about the benefits. She saw the transformative change in me and knew it was attributed to the work I've been doing under Ellie's guidance.

I've worked with Ellie in virtually every capacity she offers—from one-on-one coaching to retreats and workshops. What I appreciate most is how she challenges me to reframe things, helps me identify habitual thoughts and patterns, and provides tactical advice.

She has helped me fundamentally change the quality of and dynamics in my relationships—with myself, with my family, and with my partner Scott. I am a much less anxious and controlling person now. I feel more free and like I have returned to myself.

I've had too many 'a-ha' moments to count! I always tell people, 'Ellie has fundamentally changed the quality of my life and relationships.' I'll show up at anything she puts on because I love that she is my coach, my teacher, and my friend.

I've had experiences with coaching before, but this was the first time that it was good. Ellie has a natural talent for coaching.

She used tangible tools and methods to lead me through the process and I was impressed with what we worked through in such a short time.

Feeling unhappy about a particular situation for over 10 years, I knew I needed a change. She help me get a clear vision about what the problem was and what I needed to to to make the change. She worked with me on ideas to facilitate those changes. 

Ellie's guidance and professionalism has been a tremendous help to me. 

I am no longer feeling stuck. I am happy, relaxed and an all around better person today.

I was struggling in a dark place both at home with my family and in my work environment. My director suggested that I seek outside support to figure out how to move forward. I saw a notice about Ellie having some spots opening and decided to take a chance on her after reading other testimonials and having known her through other networks. Ellie sent me some prompts before meeting with me and, from that moment, I knew I had made the right decision both in seeking support and in choosing Ellie as a Life Coach. 

Ellie helped me to begin to wake up to things in my life that I'd been hiding from or creating illusions around. She helped me dig into and get underneath so much of what was actually creating difficulty in my life. She helped me name both my fears and also identify my longing and vision for another way to be. 

I employ techniques that Ellie has shared with me EVERYDAY for big and small things and when I do, I can feel not only myself but the people around me open up to new ways, new ideas, new paths forward.

Ellie has been an incredible light in my yoga practice for a few years and became my mentor in my advanced teacher training program. She is honest, clear, direct and funny! Ellie has a way of breaking down the complex and making it simple so that everybody gets it. 

I truly appreciate that as a yogi because so many people are confused or have some fantasized idea of what yoga is. Because she uses precise language, her students are immersed into their yoga in a way that they can carry it off their mats and into their day-to-day lives. 

I highly recommend Ellie to be a teacher, mentor or guide in any measure. You will not regret it.

I chose to work with Ellie after considering several coaches. Her intuitive style and immediate results made me continue working with her past the first session. 

With Ellie, I've discovered several techniques that are effective both in my business and personal life. I've been most surprised by Ellie's ability to identify patterns that I was unable to see on my own.
