Who is Ellen Christine?

I will always provide a safe space for the deep work you showed up to do. Real and true growth can only come out of a supportive, patient and safe environment. I also must assure you that I am not here to 'figure you out', or to fix you.  You are not broken!  You already have the gifts that you need to be the most amazing version of yourself that you can.  I am here to offer tools to support your transformation and embodiment of your authentic self. 

Somatic Intelligence (SI) - As a student of The Deep Coaching Institute, I embrace somatic awareness as a true guidance system. This is one of the most important tools we have to get in touch with the larger sense of ourselves. There is an abundance of information inside our bodies.   You know this to be true: not all communication comes from the brain.  I will help guide and support you as you begin reconnecting with your intuition. 

Emotional Intelligence (EI) - Check in with your body as emotions rise to the surface. EI and SI are related.  We can't have one without the other, but you can ignore one and not the other.  Watch that the emotions don't overtake the body's messaging (somatic intelligence), I.e.: you get stressed, then tired, but push through. Day after day of ignoring your body telling you that you need a break, eventually it will force you to take a break with a sinus infection, migraine (or pneumonia, in my case).  With practice, you will learn how to create space for your emotions.

Presence is the destination. By stepping into the present moment, you allow yourself to relax into new feelings and sensations that would have otherwise been missed amongst the regular chaos. Living in the present moment is truly the most beautiful place you can be.  Watch as colors appear brighter, people seem to be nicer to you, and you begin to feel a lovely sense of calm and ease.

The Enneagram is used as a personality typing system in the process of discovery and growth.  It helps to identify patterns, motivation, true desires, coping methods, and so much more.  According to The Enneagram Institute, The Enneagram symbol has roots in antiquity and can be traced back at least as far as the works of Pythagoras. This ancient tool helps to identify our personality, or 'ego', and how it impacts our authentic self, or 'true nature'. 

I recommend daily meditation and a priority of self.  With small achievable steps,  done consistently, new habits can be made (allowing the old, disserving ones to fade away).  I will support you in making this powerful change in your life. 

I have pledged accountability to and follow the ICF Standards for Ethical Conduct. ICF Professional Coaches aspire to conduct themselves in a manner that reflects positivity upon the coaching profession; are respectful of different approaches to coaching; and recognize that they are also bound by applicable laws and regulations. 

Committing to a healthier lifestyle is a ... commitment, and it’s a big one that will take a lot a dedication and desire.  My commitment is to provide you with personalized accountability, understanding and support throughout your process of self-discovery and growth.
