i’m ella, and i see you.

I see your pain, and I see your resilience.

I see the light in you - it may have been dimmed, but it has not been extinguished.

I’ve been where you are. I know the pain of losing myself, and staying in a lie. I know how scary it is to disappoint others, to risk dreaming of a different life.

But I also know how empowering it is to finally break free from the ‘security’ of our own straight jackets.

It was AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) that taught me to trust my heart again. By healing my own childhood traumas and insecure attachment patterns, it helped me liberate my inner light and live a life of fierce authenticity.

I would love that for you too.

I am…

A Flamenco Dancer, music lover, foodie, meditator. A multicultural seeker of the sacred and the unconventional. I am Fierce Love.

 
 
 

I feel most alive…

When I am following my heart and my true needs. When I see my client liberate themselves from shame. When people see my inner light. When I am sharing laughter. When I travel and try new things. When I am in deep conversation. And when I am dancing. :D

 
 

I dream…

Of a more just and kind world,
with no racism or other -isms.
Of meeting Buddha and see him recognize my soul. Of stepping fully into my power so that I can help more people do the same.

Tell me, what would a life of Fierce Authenticity look like for you?

 
 

“Let's burn our masks at midnight

and as flickering flames ascend,

under the witness of star-clouds,

let us vow to reclaim our true selves.

Done with hiding and weary of lying,

we'll reconcile without and within.

Then, like naked squint-eyed newborns,

we'll greet the glorious birth of dawn;

blinking at the blazing, wondrous colors

we somehow failed to notice before.”

- John Mark Green

You create such a safe and comfortable environment for exploring emotions, and you get to the root cause of them. You’ve helped me see value in myself and be more confident in setting boundaries.
