Description of Workshops
Produce Immediate Results
Most clients get results with 1-4 weeks of weekly classes. Many report ongoing effects, particularly if they practice the skills.
Ellen provides easy ways for newly-trained participants to implement the skills and feel comfortable using them. Participants receive examples of how to modify the skills for particular situations and are given ways to easily remember them.
Workshops cover both classroom and practical components. First, definitions, overviews and related research are provided. Then, first and subsequent sessions focus on skills. Training emphasizes learning by doing with step-by-step instruction.
Specific exercises are assigned in each session to anchor the practices and enhance retention. Materials distributed include an exercise summary sheet, resources and a relaxation CD. Sessions are customized to fit your needs. The facilitator is also available for coaching.

Nourishing the Mind Body Connection for Stress Relief
All stressed up and too many places to go? Take a “time-out.”
Savor the rhythm of your breath, the presence of your body on Earth, and the serenity of your mind in the moment as you are guided through a series of relaxation and meditation practices.
Relax in present moment time, reduce mind chatter, and let go of physical tension. You’ll leave refreshed for your next activity.
Exercises feature mind-body practices that help you
1) focus the mind for healing and relaxation,
2) increase body awareness for better functioning,
3) calm the body and mind to decrease anxiety, and
4) produce appreciation of the present moment to improve quality of life and mood.
These self-care tools can be integrated into daily life, and when practiced regularly, create inner strength and serenity. These practices include relaxation, mindfulness meditation, movement awareness and energy healing.
Energy Healing
Energy Healing for Stress Management & Self-Care
Have you ever noticed that just being in the presence of another person without either of you saying a word has impact on your mood or how being in nature can soothe mind chatter?
Every person, place and thing has a subtle energy field that contains and imparts information that can calm you down or rev you up. By practicing energy healing techniques you can change your energy field, which in turn improves mood, neutralizes perceptions and positively influences behavior and those around you.
Energy healing techniques such as Reiki and healing touch, rooted in ancient practices, have been used for thousands of years. Preliminary research on humans and animals at prestigious universities, as well as anecdotal evidence, suggests that energy healing methods may be beneficial in several areas, including pain, mood, stress, wounds, and chronic conditions. Furthermore, numerous US hospitals and clinics offer these therapies to patients.
Energy healing techniques are performed without the need to remove or rearrange clothing. A number of the practices can be effectively adapted for use without direct touch, making these techniques ideal for the workplace. Many techniques are effective for self-directed stress-reduction and potentially enhance productivity at work and home.
The workshop provides 1) background information on energy healing, 2) experiential self-care exercises, 3) time to practice the techniques on each other, and 4) ways to use distant healing.
