One to One
My primary goal as a yoga therapist is to work alongside you to help you instigate behavioural change, overcome obstacles and balance your system in a manageable way in order to reduce suffering.
Your initial session will help me determine how to proceed with your personal yoga practice. You can expect this appointment to last 75-90 minutes.
During this session I will conduct an intake interview with you and discuss the physical & emotional goals you wish to work towards. I will conduct personalised therapeutic breath and postural assessments. This initial session will also serve to help you to identify if this relationship feels right.
My goal is to provide a trusted reference outside of yourself to empower you to reach your wellbeing goals.
I can highly recommend Ella and her yoga therapy. Having never tried anything like this before and having several complex issues I have found this to be extremely beneficial both mentally and physically and can already see and feel a big difference after just a few weeks.
Having one to one sessions and a programme tailored to your specific needs and limitations is fantastic. There is no worry about what others think or see and as Ella is such a lovely calm person with endless patience and a comprehensive knowledge of yoga therapy, she gives you so much confidence to believe in yourself and realise there is hope to become both physically and mentally stronger.
I strongly recommend anyone struggling with pain and stress or anxiety to contact Ella and give this a try.

Practices given will be individual and may include the gentlest of movements, a vigorous routine (or no movement at all!), a breathing technique, a meditation, a mindfulness practice, lifestyle recommendations or a combination of these tools.
Subsequent sessions will generally last 30-60 minutes and it is entirely up to you, how often we meet.
A minimum of 3 sessions (including intake) are recommended to fully embed your practice and instigate behavioural change.
Sessions are held in my garden studio located in West Monkseaton. If you have restricted mobility or use a wheelchair, I am happy to travel to you for our sessions. I also offer Zoom sessions, wherever you may be in the world.
cancer care
As a yoga therapist who has walked this path personally – navigating my own cancer diagnosis, treatment and recovery – I bring not only my clinical training but a lived understanding of what it truly means to face cancer. I know what it is to feel disconnected from your body, overwhelmed by appointments and treatment, and uncertain about the future. And I know the profound difference that yoga therapy can make.

Acceptance and building a “new normal”
Cancer doesn’t only affect the person with the diagnosis. If you are supporting a loved one through cancer, yoga therapy can provide you with tools to manage stress, process difficult emotions, and sustain your own wellbeing.

I would highly recommend Ella. Her personal programme of yoga and breathing as well as meditation and lifestyle advice was really helpful in giving me confidence as well as supporting key aspects of my wellbeing.
She delivers in a totally non- judgmental and supportive way and takes time to listen and consider your needs on an individual level.
I have put what she taught me into practice and immediately felt the difference in my joints, and general wellbeing. I tell everyone about her – she is definitely worth considering if you are looking to feel better both physically and mentally.
