About Me

MY NAME IS ELLEN

With more than two decades of experience in therapy and mindfulness training, along with degrees from Northwestern University and the University of Chicago, I’ve had the privilege of learning from incredible individuals such as Kristin Neff, Tara Brach, Bonnie Badenoch, Bessel van der Kolk, and engaging with indigenous communities across the globe to create a deep understanding of neurobiology and compassion. I have taken this knowledge and built the Compassion Cultivation Cycle, which offers a guide to building compassion from the inside out.

THE COMPASSION CULTIVATION CYCLE

An Evidence Based Path To Building Compassion From The Inside Out

Emerging from 20 years of training, research and lived experience comes a framework that can

transform shame, anxiety, and fear into safety, confidence, and connection.

The Compassion Cultivation Cycle integrates:

Psychology

Somatic Awareness

Eco-Therapy

HEAD & HEART RETREAT CENTER

Breaking Down The Silos of Modern Medicine

YOGA | COMMUNITY | HEALING

A Cooperative Space With Head & Heart
