How I found myself here.
I spent 9 years as an athlete. The first 5 years of it, frustrated with what my body couldn't do, everything felt harder than it should be, and I just felt like my mind was battling with my body, not in a kind way.
Why wasn't I stronger, faster, fitter, skinnier? Why did I have to be so tall? Comparing my body to girls completely different to me. Always fighting against myself, just struggling to accept what was, the emotional and mental weight of all of it, carried around the netball court with me.
People saw me doing well externally. I had a version of society's success. But somehow in that, the human being underneath it all got lost. The one with emotions, doubts, an inner world that no one ever really asked about. But that's the world we can live in. Success looking a certain way, and if you fit the picture, everyone assumes you must be fine and happy.
So I tried to believe it myself. I got swept up in a world that wasn't mine, mistaking external validation and approval for connection and success. Professional sport, while surrounded by people, can be so lonely at times.
During one of my toughest years, I received a head injury. Maybe it was life's way of making me stop for a minute. Depression followed. It gave me no choice but to begin making changes. With doctors only wanting to prescribe me drugs, I took matters into my own hands and began trying everything else I came across.
That was 2021.
The journey since has been an unravelling. A homecoming. A truth-seeking exploration of myself, the world, and what is really important. And I finally feel like I've landed where I was always meant to be.
My own reconnection with my body, heart and soul has given me the deeper connection I had spent my whole life looking for. And now I share my journey and learnings with others, to give them that same sense of security, safety and connection with their own body and soul, and maybe just the hope that something positive can come from the dark stages of life.
I am a certified Spinal Energetics practitioner, Reiki practitioner, Breathwork and Meditation practitioner, Holistic Life Coach and Mind-Body practitioner.
Each modality I offer is one I have personally experienced and been transformed by. Spinal Energetics, Breathwork, meditation and Reiki are not tools I simply trained in. They are practices that shifted something fundamental in me, time and time again. I know what it feels like to lie on that table, in fact, I love it. I know what it feels like when all the talking in the world hasn't helped, and then finding something that allows the body to finally release what the mind couldn't process. I know how freeing it can be.
Maybe this is your chance to experience it too.
Love always, Elleanor x
What I Offer & Why
I've always been curious, mostly fearless, and drawn to understanding things properly. But some things aren't meant to be understood with the mind, they're meant to be experienced. I trained in these modalities because they made profound shifts in me. Learning them felt less like learning something new, and more like remembering. Unlike my degrees or my netball career, which always felt like hard work, this felt like a natural part of my own evolution.
I've gone deep into these spaces, and through them, deep into myself. I think that matters as a practitioner: the ability to hold someone through their experience comes from having lived it yourself. Qualifications matter, but so does lived experience, that's what turns knowledge into wisdom, and what lets me bring real presence and safety into every session.
I find that words really never do the transformations justice. Read on for more on the modalities themselves, and a little of my own experience with each.
Spinal Energetics
Developed and taught by Dr. Sarah Jane, Spinal Energetics works with the spine, nervous system, and the body's energetic field. The idea is simple: emotion and past experience can get stored in the body as tension, long after the moment itself has passed. Using light touch, or no touch at all, this work invites the body to unwind the way it did before it was conditioned into protection, rigidity and contraction. Your body leads, nothing is forced. You might notice breath, sound, or spontaneous movement as it settles.
Sessions are different every time. Some people feel immediate lightness. Others notice the shift over the days that follow, a 72-hour integration period is common.
This was the modality that unlocked something in me breathwork alone hadn't reached. It's changed my calm, my clarity, my confidence and my trust in my own life and a direction not shaped by others. My posture has also improved, the way I inhabit my body is different, it just feels more comfortable than it ever had before.
Breathwork
Most people breathe dysfunctionally without realising it, and it affects far more than lung capacity: stress, muscle tension, heart rate, sleep. There are breathing functions to optimise athletic performance, get you out of your mind in day to day life and improve sleep. Conscious connected Breathwork uses specific techniques to shift your nervous system out of the thinking mind and into the body, releasing stored tension and creating space for clarity and presence.
I broke my nose at 9 and couldn't breathe through it properly for 20 years. Retraining that alone changed everything, my sleep, my sport, my stress levels. Conscious connected breathwork is what really began reintroducing me to parts of myself I had forgotten existed.
Conscious Connected Breathwork is what really began the unraveling of held tension and emotions after years of being the strong one, holding it together for everyone else and absorbing others emotions. I had so many people after different breathwork sessions telling me I looked lighter, younger, more alive. It’s incredible.
Usui Reiki
Reiki is a light touch or hands-off energy practice, working with the body's own life force to help you settle. When life gets heavy, that energy can feel blocked, showing up as tension, fatigue, or a sense that something's off. Reiki helps bring it back into flow and balance.
Most people describe a deep sense of calm and warmth, and simply being able to relax. FLoating in that space between awakeness and sleep. Reiki is gentle, and it meets you exactly where you're at.
I was sceptical when I first began trying this but I had to try something for my depression and anxiety (because I’d come off anti depressants). Then after my fourth session, knee pain that had bothered me for YEARS just wasn't there anymore when I stood up and walked home. It blew my mind. From then I have been convinced there is something to all of this and I have been exploring ever since.
