I had many issues with I wanted to work on and Ellen helped me through each one in a variety of ways. She provided books, resources, reiki, anther expertise on mindfulness and perspective.

“Ellen has been a wonderful resource for my autistic son as well as our whole family. I was looking for a therapy that would help with his anxiety in a natural way, and offer him someone that he could talk to besides mom and dad.”
Parent
“I have a teenage son with special needs that attends Arknest on a weekly basis. Ellen uses a variety of techniques for calming my son such as massage and breathing techniques. When he is done with a session, he always feels relaxed. Ellen has done an amazing job with him as she has given my son tools to use calming strategies at school and daily living. I would highly recommend Arknest to a child who has ADHD/ Autism.”
Parent
“Our family is so fortunate to have found Ellen and Arknest. Not only does she help our special 
needs son deal with school and personal issues, she has also earned his trust. He even asks me when things have come up at school whether or not I have emailed Ellen to help him figure out a solution and help him figure it all out. He knows she is his friend. It is such a relief as a parent to have someone who can help your child when you can’t.”
Parent
“I enjoy going to Arknest. It helps me get rid of my stress in different situations. “Don’t Give Up” is one of my favorite books that Ellen reads to me. We work on yoga and breathing exercises and also massages. One of my favorite things to do is sharing stories about things that go on in my 
life.”
