About Me


Hi! I’m Ellen.  I grew up in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains in Pennsylvania, and I've wandered through cities across the US, including Providence, RI and Austin, TX.  Now Baltimore City is home.  

 

My pronouns are she/her. I'm a cis, white, bi, able-bodied, middle-class woman.

 

I'm a Taurus sun, Scorpio moon and rising. My favorite Tarot card is the Queen of Wands. 

 

I’m always searching for outlets for creativity. Currently I’m:

*doing DIY renovations on my 100 year old row home

*writing my memoir

*exploring assemblage  

 

I love making tasty food and spending time with friends, family, my partner, and my cat, Squirtle.

How I Practice:

  • anti-oppressive: I challenge systems of oppression within myself, the health and wellness industry, and my business.  
  • trauma-informed: Services are designed to support traumatized brains. 
  • science-y: I use science-backed tools, like psychoeducation, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and mindfulness.
  • spiritual: I welcome any religious/spiritual backgrounds, and we may use tools like yoga, Tarot, astrology, and ritual in our work. 
  • embodied: Support for bringing our bodies into our healing.  
  • sex-positive: Everyone who wants it deserves great sex! 
  • LGBTQ+-friendly: All identities are welcome!
