“Ellie is grounded and honest, she is challenging and supportive in equal measure, a great ‘loving boot’. She is open to thinking about things differently and has the capacity and energy to make change happen. She is skilled at cutting through the rubbish that distracts other people. She challenges your thinking and opens up new ideas and possibilities.” HF

“When I started my coaching journey with Ellie, I knew that I wanted a career change, but I lacked clarity on how to begin the transition. Coaching was new to me, and to start with, I found it a little awkward. Being encouraged to talk purely about your own thoughts and ambitions felt rather indulgent! But as time went on, I relaxed into the process, thanks to Ellie’s encouraging and supportive approach. By guiding me through my initially jumbled thoughts, Ellie helped me to clarify my vision and identify the steps that I needed to take to get there. As I reflect back now on my notes from the sessions, I can clearly see the journey I’ve been taken on. With this improved clarity and self-belief, I have already started to apply my own, identified actions towards my career change. Suddenly positive change feels very real and achievable!” CR

“I found Ellie very good at listening to what I needed, and the session was tailored to elements of the selection process I was finding particularly challenging; for example, fears of losing my thread during the presentation and feelings of ‘imposter syndrome’. As a coach, Ellie was highly skilled in enabling me to access and express my emotions and thoughts related to the interview, and gave practical suggestions for how to overcome self-limiting beliefs. I am delighted to say that I found out a couple of months later that I had been successful, and I start my four-year fellowship in 2019. I am very grateful for Ellie’s help and would highly recommend her as a coach.” LS

“Ellie takes her professional competency and development very seriously and, not only is she excited by this, she is also eager to share her knowledge with you to benefit your personal well being; she loves to share in your successes and finds a genuine joy in the benefits she brings you. She is an excellent listener and sounding board, with the ability to hear through the bullshit and get to the important things that aren’t necessarily being said; she can be relied on to call out the elephant in the room when necessary.” JF

-

“I was able to set my own agenda, meander around topics, revisit and back-track on discussions all with Ellie’s gentle and supportive guidance. I was able to realise that I was looking at my life from the wrong angle and putting up barriers that didn’t need to be there. I also undertook a session of myofascial release therapy and immediately felt less twisted and knotted. The two things combined have made me start to feel “released” from my own blocks and given me hope that I am now on the right path.” JA

-

“The coaching sessions exceeded my expectations. Having researched other coaches before finding Ellie, my expectation of coaching was quite one dimensional – focusing on specific areas such as life, career or relationships discussed in a rigid counselling style way. However Ellie’s holistic approach of considering the overall person meant that these areas were explored with so much more context and connection to the whole me – the physical me as well as the mental and practical me – which broadened my understanding much more and in turn made the way forward much more achievable.” JS

-

“Ellie helped me identify two specific areas I want to work on. We discussed what good would look like and in a short time I was able to create some clear goals and steps to take. The feelings of frustration, exhaustion and overwhelm in these two areas of my life have been replaced with a sense of excitement and freedom. Now I feel powerful instead of powerless” JS

“Thank you so much for the coaching sessions. This has been my greatest experience and growth since any learning I can remember. It has been a wonderful journey, I have learnt and grown so much.” LN

-

“Working with Ellie recently helped to open my eyes about several aspects of my life as well as areas I hadn’t expected… Ellie was able to draw my attention to some behaviours which I hadn’t identified before. She also helped me to identify what I really want to do with my career/business – something I had been mulling over for quite some time. I came out of her sessions with a very clear picture of how I want to move my business forward. This was the HUGE thing that was completely unexpected when I originally signed up with Ellie. I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her.” LC

-

“I instantly felt calm, at ease and was never rushed with Ellie which enabled me to explore my thoughts further and be able to understand the changes I needed to make. Thank you so much Ellie, you have helped me so much to feel much happier within myself.” LG

-

“Ellie has the ability to help you bring clarity through her kind, sensitive and insightful questioning. She is able to quickly focus on areas that will help you the most, and suggests practical and tangible strategies. She puts you quickly at ease and is empathic and easy to talk to.” JH

-

“Ellie has coached me through a period of work life transition as I move away from public sector employment to self-employed consultancy. I have found Ellie’s style incredibly effective in enabling me to ask myself the important questions I need to answer about the radical change I am going through. She has guided me through all the areas I need to explore in my new venture – my vision, my values, how I want to work in the future, as well as more practical elements – and importantly gave me the necessary accountability to turn ideas into actions. I find Ellie perceptive, insightful, reflective and appropriately challenging. My coaching experience has been nothing but positive and I would be in a much less confident position without it. I wholeheartedly recommend Ellie to anyone looking to transform their working life” KG

-

“Ellie has a very calm, relaxed and easy manner about her, which made it very comfortable to open up to her through our coaching sessions. Ellie is a very professional coach and I loved her coaching style, in which she leads with very careful questioning and challenges your thoughts where appropriate. I would highly recommend Ellie and her coaching for anyone wanting to make serious changes to their wellbeing. I also love Ellie’s adventurous nature too.” AL

-

“Words that come to mind when I think of Ellie include dynamic, energetic, strong and adventurous. She is always up for a challenge. At the same time she can sit with you in stillness and calm in a coaching session or learning environment, giving you the space to come up with your own insights and decisions in your own time.” JD

“Ellie is incredible and a very talented coach. She helped me go through the sessions in a very smooth way, leading to great results after making hard questions and challenging my beliefs. I consider Ellie as a great coach, knowing the right timing for how to conduct the sessions and where to go deeper to delve into a specific topic. She adapted quickly to my style and reminded me the importance of active listening and caring for my personal being first.” MB

“I spoke to Ellie about left knee pain I’ve been living with for 12 years. Ellie suggested trying myofascial release and, having had all sorts of physio, acupuncture, ultrasound and surgery over the years to no avail, I thought I might as well give it a go. I had my first treatment with her yesterday, after having exercised in the morning, and was amazed to spend the rest of the day pain free, at a time where I would normally be feeling the pain and stiffness in my knee, in particular whilst climbing stairs. Even today the pain in my knee is practically non-existent, and I’m looking forward to getting out tomorrow morning to see how it stands up to a bit of exercise! Ellie also carried out a postural assessment and pelvic rebalancing, and I’m amazed at the difference it has made, thank you Ellie!” Heidi

-

“Ellie has treated me on a few occasions now. Each time she considers the issue carefully, not rushing in to treatment, but taking an overall view of posture and asking questions about other issues to devise a suitable treatment plan for the session and any follow on work. She is careful and understanding in her approach which has had very positive and long lasting effects every time for me. I would always consider Ellie and myofascial release before any other form of physical treatment.” HG

"I’ve been for a very short interval jog this morning, I’ve done a couple over the last couple of weeks to try and get myself back into running, and each time I’ve been out I’ve had a slight niggle in one or both knees. Nothing like the sharp pain I was getting but just not feeling right. This morning I ran and had zero pain! I’m not sure whether it’s because my feet feel better after yesterday or whether it was the release you did around my sit bones, but I wanted to tell you because after three years of being in and out of exercise, it was THE most refreshing thing to go out and not be in pain. Thank you!" Amy

"I had my first myofascial release treatment with Ellie last week. I’m 20 weeks pregnant and suffering with pain in my pelvis area. Ellie worked out which muscles were affected and worked her magic! She explained everything thoroughly and it all made such sense with what I had been feeling. After a fabulous treatment the pain I was experiencing had gone and I am so much more comfortable. I would highly recommend Ellie and cannot wait for my next treatment!" Amanda

Followed by:

"You’ll be pleased to hear [the birth] went amazingly!! No hip pain and she came totally naturally with no intervention! And totally different to my first. I can’t thank you enough for everything you did for me to keep me in tip top shape and ready to birth. I honestly believe you made all the difference." Amanda

“I booked an appointment with Ellie for help with TMJ issues I have suffered with for several years. Until I incidentally found out about myofascial release I had thought this was something I would just have to live with.

Ellie is very friendly and immediately put me at ease from the first appointment. The massage itself is very gentle but has a huge impact, I have experienced great relief from the TMJ symptoms I suffer with as well as a release of persistent tension and tightness in my neck, shoulders and back. Ellie also treated my pelvis which relieved long term discomfort in my left hip. Alongside the block of direct treatment, Ellie has also given me strategies to use myself to release tightness and relaxation exercises to try and prevent the build up of tension in my body.

I would definitely recommend Ellie to anyone struggling with pain or mobility issues. She is very understanding and has a genuine desire to help people overcome these difficulties and be active again.” MA

"I booked in to see Ellie as I had read that myofascial release can be beneficial in pregnancy. Over the course of a package of sessions Ellie has been able to address some longstanding areas of tension in my hips and lower back which have been exacerbated by the 3rd trimester of my pregnancy.
As well as this, because Ellie looks at the whole person, she has also been able to help with the ongoing symptoms of an orthopaedic injury which I had assumed was just going to be a forever problem. As well as aiding a work related upper back and neck problem and offered advice for self maintenance strategies for all of the above.
Overall I would highly recommend Ellie 😊" KB

"I couldn't recommend Ellie highly enough. I sought her out as I was having long standing issues related to a large scar on my back.

I booked 4 sessions but Ellie was able to have such an impact after one session that we was able to focus on other problem areas for the remaining sessions. The outcome being that I'm able to perform my sport with no reoccurring injuries.

Ellie really took time to listen to what I was hoping to achieve and to understand the various work and sports I put my body through. She was also able to build a picture of how my body was compensating and unpick this over a few sessions." AA

"I first went for a treatment with Ellie when I couldn't lift my right arm above shoulder height and trying to pick anything up or even just getting dressed was extremely painful. I was always waking up a lot in the night in pain, so never enjoyed a good night's sleep. Thank goodness I went to Ellie as after only a few treatments I was completely pain-free and able to use my arm normally once again.

Treatments aren't like a conventional massage at all and Ellie's hands just put very gentle pressure on troublesome areas, thereby releasing any build up of tension and tightness in the body's myofascial tissues. She is a lovely person and her ability to remove any aches and pains from everyday living is amazing.

I have no hesitation in recommending her unconditionally to anyone who wants to feel rejuvenated and live pain-free." LB
