Whale Being Therapy, Ellie Wilde, Ph.D.
tired of pretending it's fine?
Ready to come back to life?
welcome to the path home.
Numb? Exhausted? Anxious? Despairing? I am so glad you're here! Pull up a chair, if you like. Release your jaw, let your shoulders go, or take a deep breath, if you like. Have a stretch, a wiggle, or a loud yawn!
I support healers, change-makers, creatives, scientists, and community leaders from diverse backgrounds seeking a way home to deeper aliveness. This path takes us from lives of burnout and isolation to vibrant connection. My work with individuals, relationships, and groups is rooted in commitment to collective care and liberation.
This active, creative work reconnects us to what matters. Life regains color as we open to sensation and deep connection. We feel it all -- love, grief, fear, awe, silliness, hope, meaning and enchantment. This frees us to move towards aligned action, building sense of purpose and self-trust.
Clients affirm my experience with these methods, telling me that moving differently in sessions reveals an endless world of possibilities, realms of life they last accessed as kids. Even in such hard times, imagination, spontaneity, playfulness, and energy emerge to catalyze empowering growth.
Your whole self is welcome. I strive to co-create a relationship with you where you feel your full range of self-expression, tears, rage, laughter, wonder equally welcome. I am honored to help support all parts of you, as you reclaim your belonging and connection to the fullness of life.
I delight in discovering together what becomes possible for you, and watching the ripple effect!

rediscovering aliveness? cool, BUT HOW?
Great question! We don't just talk about problems. We do something about them in real time.
Transformation comes when we ground into support, then actively explore possibilities: 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 move slow and pause to notice sensation together. We physically release stress. We resource you and refill your cup. We shift between bottom-up and top-down processing to build mind-body integration. We help you name and strengthen knowings and connections you discover in each moment.
A deep well of creative energy opens, one we can all access. You learn to both guide it and make it your guide, discovering deep purpose, support, and meaning as it helps you move towards your dreams. All parts of you are welcomed share their needs and wisdom as you grow and transform.
Each session includes powerful somatic practices you can access anytime, anywhere. Your expertise in stress release gets you an all-access pass to flow and play. Leading others gets easier when you can lead a harmonious inner team.
We explore gentle, playful ways for you to grow capacity for presence with what is --- and with what is possible. You set the pace as we make room to learn for the the full range of your human experience -- grief, shame, rage, joy, curiosity, awe, reverence, love, excitement, compassion. We integrate thoughts, feelings, and actions to help you move in alignment with your purpose, and guide others skillfully.
This approach is the one I use myself. It's easily the most powerful and enjoyable I've found in a lifetime of searching. It reveals opportunity where we once only saw obstacle, replaces numbness with attunement, turns scarcity into abundance. Removing blocks to flow lets your gifts come through and shine. You breathe easier, and enjoy yourself way more, while somehow making a much bigger impact!
