About Ella: Life Coach
Ella has been passionate about personal-growth, depth psychology, counseling, spirituality and self-help since she was a teenager. She is attracted to the depth of human experience in the context of how it presents itself in daily life.
The opportunity to hold space, listen deeply and provide feedback to clients is Ella’s passion in life. Ella has an integrated approach to human development that incorporates working somatically, spiritually and psychologically. After a lifetime of studying therapy, counseling and spirituality she received a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from the University of California at Santa Cruz, and completed an in-depth life coaching |
training program at the renowned Coaches Training Institute in San Rafael, California. Ella did extensive pro-bono counseling work with clients in Marin, Sonoma, Berkeley and San Francisco before starting to accept payment for her Berkeley Life Coaching services in 2005. While Ella deeply appreciates therapy and therapists, let it be clear that she is a life coach and not a therapist.
She is currently a dedicated student of Aikido, continues her involvement with her spiritual community and her mindfulness practices, and can often be found creating wonderful concoctions in her Berkeley kitchen or laughing with her husband of 13 years.
