A Little About Me

Hi, I'm Ellie.


Looking back, I think my life has always been a search. For deeper connection. For meaning. For healing. For a life that felt deeply alive.

I didn't know it at the time, but every experience, both beautiful and painful, was quietly leading me toward the work I do today.

Like many people, I've walked through seasons where I struggled with my own mental health, felt disconnected from myself, and questioned how to move forward. Walking alongside someone I love through profound mental health challenges deepened that search even more. It opened my eyes not only to how many people are quietly carrying pain, but to how deeply I wanted to understand what truly helps us reconnect with ourselves and with life.

That search led me down many paths: personal growth, nervous system healing, embodiment, mindfulness, and transformative healing experiences. I wasn't looking for a quick fix. I was searching for something that could create meaningful, lasting transformation.

Somewhere along the way, I discovered breathwork… or maybe breathwork found me.


Our breath has been with us since the very beginning, yet so few of us are ever taught that it can become a bridge back to ourselves and to something greater than ourselves. The more I experienced it, the more I realized that breathwork wasn't simply a practice. It was an invitation to experience life more deeply.

Today, I have the privilege of guiding others on that journey. Whether you're seeking healing, deeper self-connection, greater clarity, renewed purpose, or simply feel called to experience life more fully, my intention is to meet you where you are, gently guide you forward, and create a space where you feel safe enough to reconnect with yourself and discover what's possible for you.

Over the years, I've come to believe that healing isn't the whole story. Healing creates space for more joy, more presence, more wonder, more love, more of what makes us feel alive. My hope is that you discover that for yourself.

Sacred Shift Breathwork My Mission

To create a safe, heart-led space where you feel supported as you explore your inner world with curiosity, courage, and openness.


I am committed to guiding each session with integrity, presence, and deep respect for your unique journey, honoring the wisdom of your body, the pace of your nervous system, and your innate capacity for healing, growth, and transformation. Above all, my hope is that you leave feeling seen, supported, and empowered to trust yourself more deeply, wherever your journey may lead.

My Approach

How I Hold Space


Breathwork tools laid on the sand

I believe the quality of the space I hold is just as important as the techniques used within it. My intention is to hold every session with integrity, presence, and deep respect, creating an environment where every part of you is welcome, exactly as you are.

Meaningful transformation begins when we feel safe enough to soften. I honor the wisdom of your body, the pace of your nervous system, and your right to choose what feels supportive for you. To me, feeling safe isn't just something we talk about. It's something you should experience. That's why consent is woven into every session, ensuring you always have choice, agency, and a voice in your experience.

You are your own medicine.


My role is to guide, support, and hold space as you reconnect with the wisdom and innate capacity for healing that already exists within you, empowering you to trust yourself more deeply long after our time together ends.
