Whale Being Therapy, Ellie Wilde, Ph.D.
ready to live your life fully?
Remember YOUR belonging & reclaim your power & Joy.
This is not traditional therapy or standard somatics. We were never meant to spend life regulating ourselves into conformity. Our nervous systems don't need to be calmer or more manageable. They need real support -- that offers both safety and freedom, at the same time.
Through trauma-informed, nature-rooted, embodied play, I help you remember your way home to relationship ecologies from which life force emerges naturally. Remembering our true nature -- this is how we become limitless.
Together, we cultivate conditions for awe, wonder, creativity, and belonging to effortlessly emerge. We don't force change. We make lasting transformation inevitable by offering you access to the active ingredients: the safety, energy, connection, and freedom to come fully alive.
This is the alchemy of divine play.
I work with individuals, couples, and groups,
combining expertise in trauma therapy and nervous system support with deep experience of what it actually takes to thrive. Sessions are embodied, relational, energizing, liberating, and fun!
I have particular affinity for helping self-identified nerds, neurodivergents, queer and gender-expansive folks, children of immigrants, creatives, leaders, healers, and visionaries of all stripes. Read on or reach through the portal to begin!
rediscovering aliveness? cool, BUT HOW?
Great question! We don't just talk about problems. We do something about them in real time.
Sessions are tailored to best meet your needs -- you set the pace and your objective. We focus first on resourcing, moving slow and listening to sensation. We physically release stress, then help you refill your cup. We shift between bottom-up and top-down processing to build mind-body integration. We help you notice experience and strengthen knowings and connections discovered in each moment.
We make room to learn from the the full range of your human experience -- tears, rage, shame, laughter, joy, curiosity, playfulness, and wonder. All parts of you are equally welcome. I am honored to help each remember the vitality and belonging that are our birthright.
As we learn more about the gifts and burdens you carry, we ground into support, actively finding opportunities for growth and transformation. We play with new shapes and ways your body can move. We discover new ways you can see, hear, feel, and use your voice. We integrate thoughts, feelings, and actions to help you move in alignment with your purpose, and guide others skillfully. We explore gentle, playful ways to grow capacity for presence with what is --- and with what is possible.
A deep well of creative energy opens, one we can all access. You learn how to both guide it and let it be your guide, discovering deep purpose, support, and meaning as you viscerally come back to life and move towards your dreams. Flow state deactivates the DMN, the part of your brain that acts as a critical narrator, looping in self-judgment -- and activates spontaneity and joy. You discover new skills, uncover old gifts, and re-learn to trust yourself.
Each session includes powerful somatic practices you can access anytime, anywhere. Your expertise in stress release gets you an all-access pass to play. Leading others becomes easier when you lead a harmonious inner team.
Regular check ins ensure that our collaboration is serving you optimally.
Even in such trying times, imagination, spontaneity, playfulness, and energy emerge to lead the way if we know how to open to them.
