Holistic Energy Therapies and Restorative Coaching

I’m Ellen.

I’ve been working with clients in my practice, Starleaf Wellness, since 2016. Energy work is my thing. 

I studied a number of healing modalities, without ever fully resonating with any, until I discovered the world of energy healing. I was instantly home. Energy work, be it biomagnetic pair therapy or the chakra and aura based protocols I integrate into all of my sessions — gives me a powerful framework for helping clients heal and evolve.

My curiosity about energy peaked when I read about and intuitively understood that energy is all there is, and that our personal vibration drives our experience. If something is going on in my body or in my life that I don’t like or want, vibration, energy is at the root of it. When I figured that out, I was hooked, and the rest, as they say, is history. 

I am a strong believer in the mind-body connection. It’s why I do what I do. Let’s face it, we’re integrated beings. We have bodies, physicality. We have feelings, emotions. And we have thoughts, the mind. Not one of those parts works in isolation. It is all connected together, and energy is the glue! 

The integrated suite of modalities I offer addresses the mind-body-energy connection, and when I treat a client and support their healing, I work that connection. Healing happens through balance and alignment, and energy is at the core of everything I do. 

Starleaf Wellness is named after my Swedish paternal grandmother, Ruth Stjernlof; her surname means “Star Leaf.” These words represent the energy frequencies I cherish and work with in every session – the grounded presence of the Earth, and the infinite potential of the Cosmos.

I am also the Operations Manager and a business partner with Jill Leigh at Energy Healing Institute. I am responsible for the Training Division, collaborating on course design, development and delivery, managing the day-to-day operations of the school and our online Consciously Curious Community which welcomes members from around the world.

Prior to launching my holistic healing practice, I worked for 25 years in business operations and customer service. I graduated from Colby College with a B.A. in Anthropology. 

When I’m not working, I thoroughly enjoy gardening, hiking, and spending time with my son.
