Ellen graduated with honors from the Corinthian College of Massage in Bremerton in 2013 and has centered her career on rehabilitation environments to build and expand her medical skills. With a focus on injury rehab and collaborative recovery programs, she has worked mainly in chiropractic offices and with health restoration practices. She is currently studying Therapeutic Recreation and Adaptive Rehabilitation at Western Washington University in order to combine her massage skills with outdoor rehab services.
Ellen’s passion for comprehensive care gives her excellent results in working with other medical providers, such as chiropractors, doctors and physical therapists, to develop all-inclusive care plans for patients’ injury recovery journeys. The ability to reverse painful effects of injury on the body and improve overall wellness constantly amazes and excites her, and continually learning new advanced techniques keeps her passion for rehab therapy alive and growing.
She uses a treatment-oriented mindset with a focus on comfort when working with clients, pinpointing their issues and utilizing skilled medical techniques while incorporating soothing elements of Shiatsu, Thai and Lomi Lomi massage. Being able to both comfort and aggressively heal the body is a skill that not many therapists possess, and Ellen implements both excellently. She is also trained and licensed in Intra-Oral Therapy, a specialized technique that works with mouth and jaw muscles to deal with pain associated with TMJ, migraines, head or neck injuries, chronic ear problems, dental surgery recovery and many other medical issues.
Keeping with her passion for outdoor rehab, Ellen’s hobbies take her outside and you’ll frequently find her kayaking, hiking and running around with her Dalmatian, Talia. Indoors she stays entertained with her two adorable kittens Curry & Saffron, and dancing whenever the opportunity arises. She also volunteers at the Northwest Therapeutic Horseback Riding Center, helping people with physical, mental and learning disabilities improve their strength and their lives.
