Community Highlights: Meet Ellen F of Resource Holistic Health

Today we’d like to introduce you to Ellen F.

Hi Ellen, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
It all started for me in the Mid 90’s when I was a FedEx Courier in Oregon. One day I was led to the library and I checked out the book “Am I a Hindu”, by Ed. Viswanathan. I was not raised religiously, and I was raised in a very small town where the rest of the world didn’t reach us. I was very surprised by my choice?! However, all these years later, it now makes sense. The book spoke a lot about energy and consciousness. Fast forwarding to today- I am an Energy Healer, Clinical Hypnotherapist, Energy Medicine Practitioner, Certified Yoga Instructor, and Holistic Health Practitioner! All things deal with energy and consciousness. If you would have told me back in 1996-1997 I would be doing what I am today, I would not have believed you!

After reading the book, “Am I a Hindu”, It seemed I could not live my life the way it was anymore. The status quo was simply too mundane now. My mind and thoughts had been set free from the very tiny box they had been living in. My quest for knowledge had been awakened. I continued my journey into all things Eastern Thought. Taoism, Sufism, Buddhism, Zen, Zen Buddhism, and so forth. I had no clue at the moment, but within a couple of years I would leave my husband of 12.5 years and I would transfer with FedEx to Sedona, Arizona.

Not knowing anyone, I arrived in Sedona, Arizona August of 1999 with 2 cats, 13 boxes, and newly single after 12. 5 years! Wow! Didn’t see that coming! Nonetheless, there I was. I settled into my new FedEx route, new home, and new area. I then embarked upon what would be 10 years of solid education and practice in all things Metaphysics, String Theory, Entanglement, Non-Locality, Subtle Energy, and Quantum Physics. Not to mention life-changing events, which again, would shape my future.

I spent time taking classes from the amazing Jeffrey Allen, who is now in Tokyo. He taught a variety of Energy classes as well as Intuition classes. He is a wonderful teacher! I also spent a year under Mary Margaret Rose (since passed) learning to lay hands healing in Cottonwood, Arizona. At the same time reading anything I could get my hands on in the field of the above topics. Reading: Dean Radin-Entangled Minds, Judith Orloff-Intuitive Healing, Dawson Church-The Genie in you Genes, Joseph Chilton Pearce-The Biology of Transcendence, Ervin Laszlo-Science and the Akashic Field. To name a few.

The biggest influence on myself and my work was “Adam the Dreamhealer” as he was known back then, as he was underage. His parents protected him by not using his last name. Today you can find him by searching Adam McLeod. I’ve read every one of his books and attended his conference in March of 2010 in Marina Del Rey, California. Adam is beyond amazing with his understanding of energy. He went on to become a Naturopathic Doctor, and has recently completed his medical training and has become a Doctor. Adam’s story alone is something. As he grew older, Edgar Mitchell began to work with him to advance the science behind Energy Healing and Non-Local (Distance) Healing.

I am also an avid reader of Psychology, Human Behavior, and Emotional Intelligence. Inspired by Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, etc. I give you all of these examples to express my lineage, line of thought and the base I work from, and where my work originates from. I continue learning and growing in these areas today. I will never stop, I can’t. I love it too much!

Fast forward to 2001, I hurt my back lifting a 125 lb crate at a FedEx stop. I was off work for 9 mo.s. I was de-programmed from the FedEx mindset during that time. I bled purple. I was going to retire with that company, that was MY plan anyway. After returning to my route 9 months later. I was extremely disenchanted and I hurt my back again. This time, I quit. That was in 2002. After 8.5 years and the “Golden Benefits”, I left it all behind.

The next life-changing event I spoke of earlier. I then acquired a job at what was then “The Ridge at Sunterra”, now known as “The Hilton”. My job was front desk supervisor in the Spa/Gym. Which had me at a desk that overlooked the Yoga classroom. Day after day I watched people do yoga. I was intrigued, next thing I know, I’m in class, I fall in love with Yoga and I take classes for a year before deciding to go to school to become a Certified Yoga Instructor. In the spring of 2004, I was off for a 30-day immersion certification course at the Expanding Light – Ananda Village in Nevada City, California. I did graduate with my certification and taught yoga for a few years after.

By 2005, I ended my relationship with my new beau which had started in 2000. I had to take a few years to heal from that. I spent a lot of time holed up in my condo with my nose buried in more books. Also questioned myself, how did I get here? What is wrong with me?, that I allowed him to treat me that way? From that moment began my now 18-year healing quest on the self. I began to dive into my childhood trauma, and do the deep work on myself, by myself. I like to call it my own “individuating” process based on Jung’s teachings.

In 2009 I left Sedona and moved to Los Angeles. It had been 10 years, and Sedona is small. I wanted a change. I held a basic clerical job in Los Angeles. While in Los Angeles, my next life change began. I quit the clerical job and began self-employment as an Intuitive Reader and Laying of Hands Healer in January of 2010. I had my own website where I did readings and healings. Both on the phone, in person, or at a distance (healing) I also worked for one of the top Psychic Hotlines with over 6,000 readings logged. Little did I know this was my next lesson, and guidance to what I needed to heal in myself. (I needed to learn Boundaries).

In 2014 I moved to Phoenix. Los Angeles had become too big! and Arizona sure does have nice weather! I continued my self-employment work. I even did readings on the floor of a local Metaphysical Bookstore addition. By late summer of 2016, I began to take ill and by January 2017, I could no longer work. In February 2017, I had a T.I.A. I had funds until May. In June I sold all my belongings and spent time living with friends and continuing to see doctors to get to the root of my illness.

During this time, I had a mental health crisis. At the root was all the digging into my traumatic childhood, as well as the medical trauma I was in at that moment, layered on top of the “vicarious trauma” I had received from doing Intuitive Readings. The things you hear! I will not repeat it! Nonetheless, I saw that it was time for deep intense professional counseling. I’d gotten myself so far, and now I need more help. The Counseling was incredible, with new insight and growth upon what I had discovered and the tools to make changes and see unhealthy patterns!

I shared the above to be raw, real, and vulnerable. It also IS my Story. The events in our lives create ourselves and our future, and what we become. We all have these stories and we can all benefit from each other and walk hand in hand in healing. You can overcome it!

I also wanted you to get a sense of the work, and where I come from. How can I ask you to be vulnerable if I can not? We are human, we have all had our challenges and experiences unique to only us. No judgment zone here.

The sharing of the above had another purpose, what ultimately led me to the now…….

During the intuitive reading work, as I listened and walked through my clients’ lives with them call after call. I noticed a reflection of myself and in the callers. I would notice how I’d get the same callers, asking about the same guy, with a new name, same relationship patterns, same friendship patterns, same life patterns. At this time I wanted to fix my patterns so I wouldn’t keep repeating and I wanted to be able to do more and help more with each individual. I had seen over the years how deeper work helped me. This is my inspiration for the work I do today! I need more knowledge and skills. People calling for reading don’t necessarily want to hear they are the problem. And, while readings do help people with specific things in specific moments, I have to give it that. It doesn’t go deep to long lasting healing.

My belief is that if we all were to deep dive into ourselves and do our work. It would radiate out into those around us and out into the world. As I believe with my science background. EVERYTHING is ENERGY, a vibration, a frequency. You change your frequency you can help change the frequency of those around you, having a happier healthier life, and that also aid in the change of the mass consciousness, the world. Again, everything is energy, understand those principles and your life will change!

Lastly, as I said, all the above inspired me…..so…..

I had had some Hypnotherapy myself and it was beyond helpful. I read some fascinating Hypnotherapy Books by Edith Fiore and Shakuntala Modi, M.D., and knew this was the next natural step.

In 2019 I enrolled in an Alternative Healing College locally. I graduated with an AOS Degree in Holistic Health Care with a concentration on Mind Body Somatic Psychology. While obtaining that Degree, I also gained my Clinical Hypnotherapy Certification, Polarity Therapy 200 Hrs Certification, and Auriculotherapy.

And there is how I arrived today!

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Not a smooth road at al by any means. As you read in the previous answer, ha-ha. It is extremely challenging to push forward in fear. Facing your shadow. Signing yourself up for more than you may think you’re ready for. The emotional struggles along the way I would say are the most challenging. Overcoming that self criticism talk.

Believing in yourself. We’re human. We will always feel a bit vulnerable. It should also be said that as you grow, you really do change, your outlook changes, your needs change, your beliefs change. That brings losses of friendships, jobs, and old ways. Be prepared for that. At times, it may be awhile before the new comes in.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
Resource Holistic Health is a Mobile Holistic Health Care Service serving the Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa, and Scottsdale Arizona areas. RHH brings Holistic Health Care and Energy Medicine to you. The inspiration for Mobile Holistic Health Care comes from the days of old when Doctors used to make house calls. Prior to Covid, I noticed some Naturopaths, Doctors started offering house calls again. Vitamin Drips etc. Having gone through Covid and the uptick in Zoom, Mobile Services, Groceries, and Fast Food being delivered to our doors, why not Holistic Health?

I wanted to highlight Holistic Health more and make it more readily available. It’s also important for optimal health to be as balanced as we can be within ourselves and nature. Holistic Health Care and Energy Medicine are the future.

The following services are available : Hypnotherapy, Energy Healing/Polarity Therapy, CranialSacral Therapy, Chakra Maintenance, Mind-Body Somatic Sessions, Bach Flower Remedy Therapy, EarSeeds/Auriculotherapy, and Regression Therapy.

I also offer special package pricing. Currently running a special on the General Hypnosis Package and Energy Healing package valid until March 4, 2023. Please see my website.

Alright so before we go can you talk to us a bit about how people can work with you, collaborate with you or support you?
You can work with me by scheduling a Free 15-20 minute discovery call to see if we are a fit for each other. Check out my website listed below the article.

I’m open to any ideas that you may have in regard to collaboration, email me your ideas. I do like to have to go-to’s of other modalities and practitioners outside my scope of practice. So that I may still be a resource for my client. If I can’t help them, I want to be able to refer them to someone who can.

You can support me by telling your friends.
