Ellen Besso is a Holistic MidLife Coach and Author who helps women uncover their passions, find new directions in life, live abundantly as caregivers and put spirituality into practice in their daily lives.
Ellen trained as a Life Coach with Dr. Martha Beck, author of Finding Your Way in a Wild New World and monthly contributor to O, The Oprah Magazine. Judith Duerk, author of A Circle of Stones was Ellen’s mentor for a number of years. Ellen also studied and worked as a Trager bodywork practitioner and is a meditator in the Kriya yoga tradition.
Her calling is to mentor and assist women on their journey of discovery with inspirational coaching, groups, books and articles. Ellen’s 25 years experience as a coach, counsellor and social worker and as a midlife woman, mother, caregiver and spiritual seeker make her uniquely qualified to guide and support women. Her first book, Surviving Eldercare: Where Their Needs End and Yours Begin, chronicles her pilgrimage with her mother who had Alzheimer’s and provides a body, mind, and spirit approach to caregiving.
In 2007 and again in 2009 Ellen’s spiritual pursuits took her to India, where she and her partner traveled and volunteered, tutoring Tibetan refugees in Dharamsala, India; Ellen looks forward to returning to India in the future.
Ellen has recently launched a blog journal entitled Spiritual Journeying, a platform for exploring women’s personal spiritual beliefs and chronicling our society’s emerging consciousness. She is working on her second book, a memoir about her time in India.
Recognizing the importance of team support, Ellen works closely with business coach and editor Jill Crossland, founder of TimeFinders Magazine. Terri Pepin designed and manages the website and Margo Howe is the website maximizer.
