WORD ON THE STREET

Here’s what some of my clients have to say.

“I have worked through many issues in therapy for many years. But working with Ella was transformative beyond imagination. I’ve made so many unexpected breakthroughs.”

— New York Times Best Selling Author, Producer, Filmmaker

“My journey with loving myself started when I began coaching with Ella. She helped me heal from self-hatred, self-rejection and feeling powerless as a woman. She is like the Brene Brown for the artist.”

— Professional Singer & Actress

“It has been so wonderful working with Ella. 

Her listening ear, her empathy, wisdom and remarkable resourcing have healed and equipped me in so many ways. Our work together on the nervous system and on limiting beliefs has been particularly ground-breaking, allowing me to better understand my emotional and behavioural patterns in order to move forward with self-compassion. She has always been very present during our sessions and I have often felt as though I was her number one priority for the day. The resources she shared so generously were always inspirational.

I would recommend time spent with Ella as essential soul-food. Any journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance could use a dose of Ella – her kindness, her humour, her joy and her compassion.”

— Artist, Teacher

“I met with Ella after coming to the conclusion that my nervous system needed a complete overhaul.
After having multiple significant transitions over the last 6 years, much loss and change over that time, I knew I needed something more.

I knew I could renew my mind on certain mindsets and thought patterns, but if it’s still trapped in my body—that mind renewal was going to be harder.

It was in the kindness of God that Ella was running her “Embodied Life” program when she was, and I saw the Lord position me to go through the program at the exact right time, and it was exactly what I needed.

I was equipped with tools to translate what I know in my spirit and mind to become real in my physiology and for my physical being to finally feel safe in what I know.

She extended so much understanding, grace, compassion & love through this time.
But more than that, she taught me to extend grace, compassion, understanding and love to myself.

She took the time to listen and truly hear me, but would always tell me what I needed to hear.
I am so grateful for the safe space to completely crash out if I needed it (and I did many times!) and to feel what I needed to feel. He only reveals to heal and I am so grateful for all the gunk that came to the surface.

I feel like I can finally breathe, that the weight on my chest has lifted and truly rest in the truth of who the Lord says I am & who I am called to be, and it has been the greatest gift.

Ella, you have my endless gratitude for the space you created with and for me and I am so grateful for your investment into my healing journey.”

— Worship Leader

“When I started coaching with Ella, she gently “identified” me as nurture deficient, and the tears hit my eyes. It was true, and the weight of it gripped my body. “So we’re going to go slow,” she said. Now the tears pooled over. For those who have walked through trauma, going slow can feel like a luxury we can’t afford. Ella made it possible. We could go slow. Healing could feel gentle rather than forced. Never once did she rush in and try to fix me. She’d offer insight, new perspectives, and simple practices to guide me through my myriad of emotions, challenges, and aspirations, all the while going as slow as I needed. This has led to the fastest growth and change I’ve ever witnessed in myself. Through coaching with Ella, I’ve learned to love and embrace both myself and life again.”

"Working with Ella has been an absolute game-changer for me. Before our sessions, I struggled with feelings of contempt and self-rejection every time I looked in the mirror. But through her guidance and the inner healing process, everything has shifted. Now, I genuinely feel affirmation, acceptance, and joy when I see myself. It's not just about loving myself; it's about enjoying who I am and feeling God's joy about my existence. The transformation is profound, and I attribute it all to the deep heart healing work we've done together. No amount of self-help advice could have reached me on this level. Ella's support has been invaluable, and the wellbeing I've gained is priceless. I'm forever grateful for her guidance and the incredible impact she's had on my life."

— Producer

“My sessions with Ella started in the wake of a major professional fiasco that I was convinced was the end of my career. I was suicidally depressed. Coaching with Ella is like going to see a world class surgeon. She has an uncanny ability to pinpoint the exact source of pain, with extreme precision. I literally saw more progress with Ella in a single session than I saw in weeks with other professionals! Ella has given me the tools to know how to show myself compassion. She’s taught me how to create peace by lowering the stakes in my life. And she’s helped me to heal many parts of myself that were stuck in the past.”

“I’ve done so much inner-healing work over the years, but my biggest breakthroughs came with Ella. She is able to see through the messiness of life and relationships and cut right to the heart of the real problem, zeroing in on issues I had been circling for years without knowing it. She talked about concepts I’d heard before but never connected to like, “Self-Compassion” and “Inner-child work.” Ella broke these things down in such a way that I actually understood how to practically apply it to my life. After just a few months working with Ella I feel much more connected to my authentic self, less afraid/ashamed of my weaknesses, and more confident in knowing how to move forward towards my dreams.”
