Whale Being Therapy, Ellie Wilde, Ph.D.
Are you tired of pretending TO BE OKAY? COME BACK TO LIFE!
Welcome, I'm so glad you're here! Release your jaw, if you like. Let your shoulders go, take a deep breath, stretch, wiggle, or have a loud yawn!
Have you reached the end of the road with traditional therapy? I understand! You're in the right place -- I offer something different.
I work with individuals, relationships, and groups, rooted in commitment to collective liberation and daily personal practice.
My approach has helped healers, creatives, nerds, change-makers, and community leaders from diverse backgrounds reconnect with vibrant aliveness. If you're thinking, "bring it on!" it's likely to help you, too.
Through active, creative, somatic practice, we turn burnout, anxiety, isolation, and freeze into dynamic flow, joyful connection, meaning, and purpose. Life regains color, depth, and flavor. We start to thrive.
Clients tell me what I know from experience: that moving differently reveals an endless world of possibilities and realms last accessed as kids. They describe feeling energized, empowered, and confident, trusting all parts of themselves more.
This approach is the one I use myself, and is easily the most powerful and enjoyable I've found in a lifetime of searching. It reveals opportunity where we once saw only obstacle, replaces numbness with attunement, and turns scarcity to abundance.
Removing blocks to flow lets our gifts come through and shine. We breathe easier and enjoy ourselves more, while making a much bigger impact. 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.
You set the pace. 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 exploring possibilities beyond those immediately apparent, and find 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 for you 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. You 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 flow and play. Leading others becomes easier when you lead a harmonious inner team.
Even in such trying times, imagination, spontaneity, playfulness, and energy emerge to lead the way if we know how to open to them.
