Hello! I’m Ellie, a researcher, facilitator, and body-based practitioner exploring how humans and the more-than-human world co-create health and meaning.

My work weaves together yoga, myofascial release, and holistic massage with ideas from complexity theory, anthropology and non dual shaiva tantra philosophy. I’m interested in how bodies tell stories - through tension, breath, sensation, and movement - and how those stories reflect wider ecological and social systems.

With over a decade of experience at the Cynefin Company, I work with narrative methods and collective sense-making to help groups navigate complexity. Alongside this, my hands-on practice offers a space for slowing down and re-attuning to the intelligence of the body. Whether through touch or conversation, I support people and communities in cultivating awareness, adaptability, and care.

My approach is relational, embodied, and experimental. I design workshops and learning experiences that invite curiosity, integrate science and story, and honour the entangled nature of wellbeing - human and more-than-human alike.
