About Ellie

Ellie has been coaching people through successful life transitions since 2003. Her love for people and keen interest in them has naturally drawn people to her all her life. Encouraging, supporting, listening, and being fully present with people have been as natural as breathing to Ellie. Clients have described her as empathetic, caring, sensitive towards others, non-judgmental, welcoming and easy to talk to. Personal growth and development have been a high priority all her life. She holds a bigger picture for those around her and has confidence that her clients can accomplish anything they truly want.

Professional History:  Ellie comes from a corporate background, having worked at IBM for 19 years.  In the early years, while her children were still young, she worked in the public school system.  Now, Ellie is a Life Coach, having received her training at Coach University and Coaching Institute.  She is a life-long learner and a member of the International Association of Coaches (IAC), Coachville, Mid-Hudson Women's Networking Group, and Our Savior Lutheran Church.

Personal History:  Ellie's life experiences have been many and varied and are a great asset as she relates to her clients. Ellie and her husband raised two children who are now grown and have kids of their own. As a baby boomer, she has come through many transitions in her life including mid-life renewal, early retirement, career transition and work/life balance issues.  

After retiring at age 55, Ellie decided to become an entrepreneur. She took a leap of faith to follow her dream of becoming a life coach and credits her coach training and working with other dynamic life coaches for her personal and professional success. She now welcomes change and recognizes the wonderful opportunities it provides. Her purpose and passion is to serve others by helping them successfully navigate through and rise above their own life challenges and begin living their dreams.
