I’ve been seeing Mary Ellen for breathwork over a number of years, on and off, as I have deep healing to do. Mary Ellen is gifted at moving trauma through the body and the soul. She uses a combination of breathwork, reiki, and verbal coaching to work complex, deeply painful, “stuck” energy, and limiting beliefs through the body... and out. I have experienced profound healing. I have left her office lighter. And, the weight doesn’t come back. I feel safe to tell Mary Ellen things I can barely speak out loud, let alone tell a stranger. I am incredibly grateful to have found her. If you are ready to release your suffering ~ here’s the place to make peace with yourself, and your past.

I have worked with Mary Ellen for 2 + years doing breathwork and 1:1 therapy sessions. She provides a safe space for me to work with her around some sensitive issues. I always appreciate her attention to detail and providing a nice summary write up of each session. It's great to go back and reflect on those and see the progress. I have learned a lot about my energy body and how it works. I have also learned a lot about how my past childhood and teen experiences are still shaping and impacting me today. Both have been very valuable to peel back the layers and get more insight into myself. I have felt more clear and balanced since working with her. I would recommend Mary Ellen as someone who is very knowledgeable around energy work and healing. Not only has she done a lot of training she has also done the work herself and lives it. She has all the tool and methodologies to help people on their path. - Ryan

I've been seeing Mary Ellen for coaching services for the last 2 months and continue to be floored by my progress. She has a way of using new and different language and analogies that is helping me make sense of some old patterns that I haven't been able to disrupt. I feel incredibly safe, supported, and motivated by my experience with Mary Ellen. I've already recommended her to all my friends and I'm happy to recommend her here as well.

I did breathwork with Mary Ellen, and it has changed my mental health tremendously. I lived my entire life with nervous system overload. I always felt stressed out, anxious and depressed and I never could understand how to control it. I also want to preface by saying I was four years into talk therapy and EMDR at the time, and it wasn’t helping me very much. I came into Mary Ellen’s office sick with chronic fatigue and several other health issues. After I did four sessions with Mary Ellen, I felt such a shift in my ability to process my emotions and control my anxiety. I feel like a new person now, and it has been months after my sessions. I can feel that my ability to control my nervous system better has helped me tremendously with my health problems. Mary Ellen also taught me how to do inner child work, which has played a huge role in processing my past experiences. She taught me how to listen to my body and what it is telling me. She described to me what each of the chakras mean and how I can use them to understand what my body is struggling with. Before and after each of our sessions, we talked about how I was doing and what I wanted to gain from the sessions. She taught me how to work with my energy patterns and walked me through ways to set up boundaries (which I definitely lacked at the time). I had little to no experience in the holistic realm before this, and it felt so eye opening to work with Mary Ellen on these subjects. I really felt seen working with Mary Ellen, she was so kind and attentive to what I was going through. I would always look forward to the breathwork sessions I had with her because they were so healing, I have never experienced anything like it. Mary Ellen also just has such a calm and friendly nature, I felt safe doing this work with her. I would recommend her to anyone that asks, she is amazing and her work is incredible!! She has definitely changed my life for the better, and I can’t thank her enough.

I continue to have so many aha moments with Mary Ellen even after years of receiving coaching from her. Mary Ellen is there to help you through all of life's transitions. When we started working together, my life was in a very difference place. She helped me navigate and understand how my childhood trauma was still impacting me as a career driven, city-living, independent woman. Now, I'm married with a baby and I find myself needing help navigating this area of my life as well. She has a way of connecting with you that enables you to really get at the heart of what you're trying to address. Mary Ellen continues to provide me with the tools to sustain some much needed changes in my life. Absolutely recommend, hands down!

2/10/25: UPDATE: Because my breathwork experience with Mary Ellen was so positive, I decided to try her career coaching program. The work I did with Mary Ellen was very different than the previous business & executive coaches I had worked with in the past. We went deeper than I could have imagined, and addressed the patterns that I was constantly falling back to, no matter how much I pushed myself to work harder or be more “productive”. I was able to open up, get comfortable with being vulnerable, and start healing my inner child (if this sounds crazy - I promise you it's transformative). During the months I worked with Mary Ellen, I had difficult conversations with people I had been avoiding for years and made the decision to leave my corporate job to pursue my dream goals. It went so well that I’m working with her AGAIN, for the third time. If you are feeling stuck, are exhausted of constantly pushing your self only find yourself back in the same place, do yourself a favor and work with Mary Ellen! You won’t regret it. First Review: A friend had recommended Breathwork to me a year ago and a few months ago I decided to try it out. I googled Breathwork in Denver and found Mary Ellen. I knew within 5 minutes of the consultation that I wanted to work with Mary Ellen. She had a very calming and grounded presence and I immediately felt comfortable and safe. My first breathwork session blew my mind, and I signed up for additional sessions. Mary Ellen walks you through the process, and even though I was a bit skeptical, I decided to trust and go with it and I'm so glad I did. I've been able to get in tune with my body, and recognize signs of what's going on with me through physical manifestations in my body. It's helped me to tap into my strength throughout my life - including work. If you've been thinking about breathwork, or want to try something to improve your mental health - I highly recommend Breathwork and HIGHLY recommend working with Mary Ellen!

Working with Mary has had a clear positive change in my life. I came to her when I couldn’t figure out how to help myself. I was feeling stuck. Her sessions, her dedication has improved my day to day outlook, attitude, and sense of self. The impact is not only obvious to me, but to my closest relationships. She’s the best!

Mary Ellen is a gem- I love that she has such a breadth of skills to pull from including breath work. Everything is customized to you, the moment, and the energy you're bringing to the appointment. I have changed so much for the good with Mary Ellen’s incredible skill and thoughtfulness! Highly recommend!

I’ve been working with Mary for coaching for several months now and I’ve already had several profound breakthroughs. Mary is incredibly insightful and it’s clear that she puts a lot of thought into our sessions. She beautifully blends different styles and techniques to guide our sessions which has been especially helpful when I feel stuck and confused about the next steps. I’ve noticed a positive shift in how I approach and navigate difficult relationships and situations. I highly recommend Mary, she’s fantastic!

Working with Mary has been life changing! I have been to talk therapy multiple times and was still unable to completely move forward. It was like I had this basket of information and self-awareness but no idea what to do with it all. Mary has helped me find the tools within myself to sift through and work with what I have to a clearer and calmer state of being. In just a few weeks I can see and feel the positive impact our work has created in both my personal and professional relationships. And I've received so many compliments from friends and coworkers who can also see the change in me. Mary is truly a gift.

I went to Mary Ellen for breathwork and got SO much more out of it than I hoped for. She facilitated a process for me that was far more effective than any talk therapy has been, and a year later I can say that the positive change is still holding up. I felt incredibly safe and comfortable with Mary Ellen and was able to be vulnerable in the way a person needs to be to truly heal. She took thorough notes in every session and shared them with me so I could revisit them if I wanted to, although I honestly haven’t felt the need. I highly recommend her work! A kind, deep, thorough, intuitive, professional 💚

Mary Ellen has been vital to my personal and professional growth this past year. It has been incredibly useful to learn my why, and how to navigate away from patterns and behaviors that are unconscious and have been contributing to my progress in different ways. It hasn't been easy to learn about myself, but Mary Ellen's patience and sensitive approach has lead me to trust her implicitly and be more willing to grow, evolve, and change than I ever have before. Thank you Mary Ellen!!

Mary has been such a gift to work with. She intuitively understands the heart of what matters through simple conversation and offers excellent tools for healthily navigating life. She is professional with outstanding emotional intelligence. I knew I wanted a coach and Mary worked beyond my expectations in such a holistic way. I highly recommend her motivational support that encourages professional growth, spiritual growth, and beyond. Mignon

I had arrived at a plateau in my emotional healing process before I had received relationship coaching from Mary Ellen. Through her, I had a breakthrough and discovered a way to identify and approach some of my deepest pains with compassion and understanding. She showed me how to visualize and feel things from my past without judgment so I could remove blind spots and heal relationships with myself and others in ways I did not realize possible. I’m so grateful for the way she’s taught me to offer kindness and mindfulness so I can continue to grow toward my best possible self.

Mary Ellen has provided me the space to feel comfortable going inward towards self discovery. Her unique methods are powerful - she guides you toward exploration and healing. I have learned about parts of myself that may never have had a voice if it wasn’t for my coaching sessions with Mary Ellen! I am now able to use the work I’ve done to live my life in a more authentic and healthy way. The breakthroughs you will have with Mary Ellen can be life changing. I highly recommend her coaching, it can be incredibly helpful!

If you are looking for someone to change your personal and work life, look no further! Mary Ellen has been a rock for me over the past 16 weeks and I cannot express my thanks enough. I have been to many therapists over the years, and none of them have been able to help me let my guard down enough to really speak with and begin to heal my inner child. As a very 'heady' person who struggles to connect to emotions, I was nervous (in a good way) about working with Mary Ellen because I could tell her approach would be different. And I was right in the best ways! She approached our work with vulnerability, dedication, and respect. She helped me not only have a lot of 'ah-ha' moments, but also taught be how to ensure the work we did will be lasting. I, clearly, highly recommend working with her and only wish I had started sooner.

After going through quite a few ups and downs in my personal and professional life, I reached out to Mary Ellen for support in the process of getting to the root of the consistent blocks and issues coming up in my life. I have several supportive practices such as meditation and yoga in my life that help me keep a balance, but these tools couldn't get me where I needed to go in the way that working with Mary Ellen did. She offers an extremely safe container for profound emotional work and is a compassionate observer and teacher in the process. Through our sessions, Mary Ellen assisted in navigating me into the corners of myself I didn't know how to access previously and, most importantly, taught me how to care for those parts of myself that needed my attention. Working with Mary Ellen is a beautiful and revelatory experience that I would recommend to anyone who needs assistance in seeing what has been blocking them from personal goals and dreams and is ready to find a way through them.

I didn't know what to expect when I first decided to get a life coach, all I knew is that I was ready for a change in both myself and my habits. Looking back, I can confidently say that I not only got that change I was yearning for, but I received more. The sessions are so empowering and I really recommend life coaching to anyone and everyone. I loved my experience, as I guarantee anyone who has Mary Ellen as their coach will too.

Mary Ellen is a talented, intuitive and powerful guide, coach, and breath worker. I've had incredibly powerful breath work sessions with her resulting in incredible shifts in my health as well as in my career and overall mindset and wellness. She always has spot on insights that help integrate my sessions, and the energy work she does is very healing. I'd highly recommend her for anyone wanting to go deep, clear out energetic and subconscious blocks in the body, and cultivate clarity on anything you desire!

You Already Know What You’re Doing Isn’t Working

Maybe you’ve talked it to death.

Read the books.

Listened to the podcasts.

Learned the communication tools.

Done therapy or other personal-growth work.

And intellectually, you understand yourself pretty well.

But then your partner uses that tone.

Someone pulls away.

You feel rejected.

You get overwhelmed.

An old fear gets activated.

And suddenly the version of you who “knows better” is nowhere to be found.

That’s the work I’m interested in.

Not giving you more information to understand.

Helping you change the Protective Patterns that take over when life or relationships feel vulnerable, so the change you’re creating is actually available to you in real life.

Ways to Work Together

Couples Coaching

Change what happens between you.

Pranasoma Coaching

Become the couple who knows how to handle hard things without losing each other. See the pattern. Change the dance. Restore connection.

Individual Coaching

Change what happens inside you and how you relate.

Woman Meditating

Change the patterns that are keeping you from your best love and life. Career, relationships, self-worth: it’s all connected, and it all starts with you.

Breathwork

Move what talking/thinking alone isn’t shifting.

Breathwork Book

Process what the mind alone can’t move. A somatic, body-based practice that’s offered as deep healing work or woven into coaching as needed.

You’re in the right place if you’ve ever thought…
“I can see the patterns I want to change but I just can’t seem to change them.”

Body-based coaching will help you integrate what you mentally know into embodied knowing so it’s accessible even in moments of stress.

Here’s how we start

Phone Laptop

Book a Discovery Call

A 30-60 minute conversation. No pressure, no pitch. We get clear on what you’re dealing with, what you want, and whether working together makes sense. Schedule here.

On laptop

Choose your path

Couples coaching, individual coaching, or breathwork. We’ll figure out the right fit based on your situation and goals.

Do the real work

I use RLT within my coaching practice rather than providing psychotherapy. Sessions are structured, direct, and designed to move you. Most clients notice a shift within the first few sessions.
