Ellyn is a passionate lover of life and a diligent apprentice of the Artizo nature of Triune God. Knowing the farther she is willing to dig into her own healing, the farther she can bring that healing grace to others, Ellyn has pursued the excavation of her Imago Dei tenaciously. The light emanating from her own spirit makes it evident she has tasted and seen that the Lord is good. It is that experiential knowledge of God’s goodness that fuels Ellyn’s desire to bring that same healing to others. She is a gift to the world.” -Katie Skurja, founder of Imago Dei Ministries, public speaker, author of Paradox Lost, and trainer in the art of inner healing. -Portland OR

“I first met Ellyn at Burnt Fork Retreat Center in Montana in 2019, when the Imago Dei Ministry team, of which I am a member, traveled there to facilitate a women's retreat focused on inner healing and integration.  Ellyn impressed me at the time as being someone who was open and eager to learn, though somewhat insecure and unsure of herself.  She leaned into the teaching we presented and was willing to make herself vulnerable, jumping in with both feet, engaging in experiential exercises, and contributing eagerly to discussions. Ellyn fully embraced the concepts being presented and stayed in contact after the retreat, taking numerous online classes and putting what she learned to use in her daily life and relationships.  She later became a member of the Inner Healing Community, comprised of those eager to become practitioners who value community and help one another become stronger and more confident in engaging in the work of integrative healing. I have seen Ellyn grow exponentially in both competence and confidence, leading her to become a skillful, compassionate practitioner.” -Mary Welch, Imago Dei Ministries Team Portland OR  

“Ellyn brings her whole heart into creating space for God’s grace to heal. She is committed to her own healing journey and exudes such compassion and joy for others as they discover their own true self in Christ. She's been a vital member of our Healing Community from the very beginning!”-Margie Mach, Imago Dei Ministries Team Portland OR

“I believe that Ellyn is doing the work she was made for. She's very skilled in the approach she's been trained in; her professionalism combines with her caring and relaxed personality that has enabled me to feel at ease right from the first session. The best thing for me is that the time I've spent with Ellyn is making a profound difference. Healing is happening, degree by degree. I'm getting unstuck from unconscious self-sabotaging strategies that have weighed me down for way too long. I sincerely thank Ellyn and the Trinity who are always good and always wanting the best for me.” - PS, South Australia

“I have to admit I was skeptical when first entering a session with Ellyn. Inner healing is not part of my evangelical background. But as I kept an open, prayerful mind, God used Ellyn to guide me into a fresh experience with Jesus. In a deep way, I learned to know Jesus as my intimate, personal, loving friend (while still being Lord over- all). Ellyn helped me learn to carry that forward, so that it is not just the memory of a past experience but an ongoing reality. If you struggle with self-condemnation or doubts in your relationship with God, I recommend contacting Ellyn. She is a professional, personable, and trustworthy practitioner of inner healing.” -SW, Tennessee

"If we were all birds, I would explain spending time with Ellyn like this:

Ellyn can help you gather your sticks and build your nest. Sometimes the nest is for resting, sometimes for new birth, and sometimes the nest is just the staging area for taking flight. Ellyn will never dictate how your nest should be built but will rather toil alongside you during the process. She might inquire about an interesting stick or one you seem to be struggling with but only with your permission. Ellyn values each sparrow with the care of the Father." -CC West Virginia

“I scheduled an Inner Healing session with Ellyn because I was facing a difficult visit with my family. During that time, she created a safe place for me to share my story. In her I found a listening heart with no judgment. She asked poignant questions that made me pause and be curious about what was going on in my heart. Because of her insight I uncovered a place of hurt and shame concerning my parents that I was not aware of. With wisdom and love she led me to the sacred place and walked with me as I let go of the hurt and shame. The visit with my family was much lighter without the burden of past hurt. Ellyn is a skilled practitioner in Inner Healing work who radiates joy and peace that reaches out to you even through a computer screen. At the same time, you get the sense that she is honored that you would share your story with her.” -GS Blairsville, Georgia

"I began meeting with Ellyn at a time in my life when my inner world was in upheaval. Jesus was surfacing deep pain in my heart, for the purpose of healing it. Ellyn came alongside me to help me process it, keep a healthy perspective, and to encourage me through it. And most of all, Jesus has worked with her in our time together to meet me in the depths of my soul in powerful ways. Ellyn is gracious, patient, kind, understanding, and she makes me feel seen and heard. She's a great listener and partner on my journey, and I highly value our sessions together." -JM Texas

“What Ellyn offers you is herself. She cares deeply. She holds your hand and comforts you with the very comfort she has received. There is a deep humility, softness and kindness to Ellyn which reveals God’s heart. Ellyn ministers in the context of friendship and good humour. As she listens you feel the heart of a God who listens also. Ellyn’s authority rests not in religious practice or special knowledge but rather in the tenderness and vulnerability of a heart captured by God.” - JP Sydney Australia
