“I have been receiving treatments from Ellis for several years and there's a reason I keep going back to him. It is rare to find a bodyworker that is so in tune with your needs and rhythm. He clearly has both knowledge and skill in his craft, but also an instinct for connection that brings his treatments to another level. I always walk away feeling like I received exactly what I needed.”
