“Before giving Nia a try, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. With my background in dance, Nia sounded like a lovely experience to try. Though it was virtual, Ellen created a beautiful and welcoming space online. Her set-up was professional, and I could easily hear the music over the screen. I had never felt so relaxed, present, and an increase in body awareness. The choreographed routines were fun, and Ellen made every move really easy to follow. As I participated, I could feel any stress or anxiety I was feeling melt away. I thoroughly enjoyed Nia with Ellen, and would highly recommend this online class and experience to others. Thank you, Ellen, for creating a beautiful space for us all to move!”
Brittany Miller | Social Media Manager & Educator
“I tried numerous different modalities as well as other Nia classes online and I have to say without a doubt that Ellen’s Nia class was the first one where I did not have pain in my knees both during and after the class. Because Ellen has been there herself, she really stresses the importance of tuning in to your body and listening to what it needs. She shares modifications to the movements so that they are beneficial and not painful.
I highly recommend Nia with Ellen. Your body will thank you for it.”
What is Nia for pelvic pain and LS?
Through Movement We Find Health
Living with CP, CPP and/or LS weighs heavy on anyone’s emotional, physical, mental and spiritual well being. Mindful and conscious movement can help bridge the disconnection between the mind, body and spirit while living with CPP and LS. Movement is medicine.
Reignite your joy through conscious and transformational movement
Each class features music from many genres like: Pop, Electronica, Jazz, Latin, Indian, Hip-Hop and more. Your imagination and emotions will be inspired through a combination of Jazz, Modern and Duncan dance styles, Tai Chi, Tae Kwon Do, Aikido and the body-mind healing arts of The Feldenkrais Method®, Alexander Technique and Yoga.
Step In
Come step into a guided and gentle fitness class that is tailored to your body’s way of moving.

About Me
I am an LS Warrior. I am a wife and mom to two active children, ages 6 and 3. I have been living with Lichen Sclerosus for over 28 years.
Through many years of pain and the challenges of living with LS, I found my medicine through movement. An integrative form of exercise known as Nia was the catalyst in my healing journey.
I understand the disconnect of the mind, body, emotion and spirit that can occur while living with LS. The realignment of those pieces of me was an important part of managing the physical and emotional challenges that come with this diagnosis. I am now passionate and committed to sharing what I have learned with others so that they too can live a life of joy, comfort and ease.
