About Ellen

I’m Ellen Bower, a guide for life transformation, intuitive clarity and energy healing.

When I was a child, long summer breaks became sacred windows of wonder. I would lie on the grass for hours, eyes wide open to the theatre of clouds drifting across the sky. Each white bundle of fluff dared me to perceive something beyond the obvious, inviting me into a world where imagination reigned, and invisible truths whispered through the wind. That’s where I first learned to see differently, not with my eyes - but with my inner vision.

For years, I lived by what I knew: achievement, structure, and prioritising the needs of everyone else. Over time, something began to stir. A longing not for more to ‘do’, but more for me to ‘become’.

In my 30s, I met my British husband. When we married, I left California to move to England - without a map - just a quiet, inner whisper, a knowing. When I landed at Heathrow, the words came clearly: “You’ll need to grow stronger wings here.”

That move halfway around the world became a spiritual initiation. I lost parts of who I had been along the way - my identities, roles, rhythms - and for a while, I floated in the in-between. Still, every challenge and invitation became part of the transformation - each one a teacher of growth and grace. Something, though, still felt incomplete. I wasn’t broken - I was simply waiting. Not to be fixed, but to be woven into what came next.

In this space of gentle unravelling, I reimagined how I connected, belonged, and how worthy I felt. I learned to listen. To be guided. To soften. And eventually, to create a life, and a business, from the inside out.

 

When I’m not passionately engaged in the living heart of Worthy & Brave™, you’ll find me in my studio creating, or planning menus for another big gathering entertaining friends, or foraging in the countryside with my three Golden Retrievers. My husband and my daughter have been my greatest advocates in life, inspiring me on a mission to be a bright light on this beautiful planet.

That wild imagination I wore as a badge of wonder never left me.

Even in the moments I felt misplaced in my own life - or disconnected from belonging within my family - imagination remained. It quietly guided me home to myself. That same spark has become a guiding light in my life - leading me on a wild and wondrous adventure toward truth, creativity, and soulful belonging.

I loved learning the breath techniques that Ellen taught during the Retreat, as I know I can be quite reactive, and this helps me respond rather than react. I was surprised that I was able to use the techniques quite easily!

And now, I offer that same light to you.

♥ A return to your own authentic rhythm.

♥ A remembrance of who you are without the masks and expectations.

♥ A sacred container for the worthy and brave soul you have always been.

Worthy & Brave™ is not a destination. It’s a homecoming to yourself.

Shall we explore together?
My experience with Ellen led to significant healing, fostering a deep sense of inner well-being and positivity.

The most insane experience I’ve had is jumping off the top of Sugarloaf Mountain in Rio de Janeiro – fortunately, I was attached to a hang glider at the time! Landing on Ipanema Beach was beyond awesome!

The book I loved is ‘The Mists of Avalon’ by Marion Zimmer Bradley because it took me on a journey of my own inner wisdom, intuitive power and spiritual guidance, and taught me to honour the sacredness of the earth.

My three Golden Retrievers are my foraging partners on our daily walks in the countryside, helping me discover plants and herbs to create some amazing healing recipes for my kitchen apothecary.

Ellen has an extraordinary gift for understanding individual needs, guiding the healing process, and generously imparting additional skills for daily self-management.

I love Studio Ghibli films … my favourites are The Cat Returns, Spirited Away, and Ponyo, but I could binge watch every single one of their films every weekend!

I adore the word ‘namaste’ and the sentiment it offers which means, “I see the sacred and the divine in you” – that is such a pure and beautiful way to greet another.

I love the song ‘Angel’ by Sarah McLachlan; the lyrics speak of someone feeling lost, lonely and searching. This resonates so much with my own life work to support others in opening their hearts to find their path from life’s challenges to a treasure of wholeness and enrichment.

With Ellen’s facilitation, I enjoyed making the Soulful Intention Card. It’s a great visual reminder for me to focus on the most important thing I want to manifest in my life.

My life has been a little bit on the thrill-seeking side, but mostly a heartening and elevating journey. And this is why I love nothing more than to witness the courageous, plucky and bold devotion that my clients embody in order to live their lives in a worthy and brave state of belonging.
