To Restore Joy as a Way of Being
Ellen's mission is simple and radical: to help people remember that joy is not something you earn or find — it is something you return to. Through her clinical practice, writing, podcasting, and community work, she creates pathways back to the aliveness that is every person's birthright.
She believes that when individuals heal, families heal. When families heal, communities heal. And when communities heal, the world shifts. Every session, every podcast episode, every book is an act of service toward that larger vision.
Decades of Devoted Practice
The Foundation
Ellen began her formal training at the Northwest Institute of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, earning her Master's degree and immersing herself in the ancient wisdom of Chinese medicine. She opened her Seattle practice and quickly became known for her rare ability to hold space for deep healing.
Expanding the Practice
Over the next decade, Ellen wove sound healing, energy medicine, and transformational coaching into her clinical work — creating an integrated modality that addressed the whole person: body, mind, and spirit. Her reputation grew through word of mouth, drawing clients from across the Pacific Northwest.
Walking Through Darkness
Ellen's own journey through profound personal loss and illness became the crucible that forged her deepest gifts. She emerged with hard-won wisdom that no textbook could teach — and a commitment to meet every client exactly where they are, without judgment, with radical compassion.
Voice, Platform & Legacy
Ellen launched the Heal With Joy Podcast, published her memoir, and founded the Love Ambassadors Community — amplifying her message of healing and joy to a global audience. Today she continues to see clients, speak, and mentor practitioners in the art of heart-centered healing.
The Principles That Guide Every Session
Healing Is Whole
True healing doesn't happen in isolation. Ellen works at the intersection of body, mind, and spirit — because lasting transformation requires all three to be addressed together.
Joy Is the Medicine
Ellen believes joy is not a luxury — it is a biological necessity and a spiritual birthright. Every session is designed to reconnect you with the aliveness that is already within you.
Darkness Holds the Light
Having walked through her own profound darkness, Ellen knows that the most powerful healing often emerges from our most difficult passages. She guides clients to find the gift inside the wound.
You Are Not Alone
Community and connection are central to healing. Ellen's work extends beyond the treatment room into the Love Ambassadors Community — a living network of people committed to healing and joy.
A Voice That Reaches Beyond the Room
Ellen's leadership extends far beyond her Seattle practice. As the host of the Heal With Joy Podcast, she has created a platform for transformational conversations that reach listeners across the globe — exploring healing, joy, spirituality, and what it means to live fully.
Her published memoir, Nothing Ever Goes On Here, is both a personal narrative and a healing guide — an honest, courageous account of her own journey through darkness and into light. It has become a touchstone for readers navigating their own passages.
As the founder of the Love Ambassadors Community, Ellen has built a living network of healers, seekers, and change-makers committed to spreading joy as a form of activism. The community hosts events, circles, and online gatherings that continue to grow year after year.
