My name is Ellen Otte (1978). I live in Heerlen with my husband and our two children.
For over sixteen years, I worked as a psychologist, researcher, and lecturer at various universities, guiding both adults and young people.

In 2017, my life changed abruptly due to a serious accident. My knee was completely shattered, and I was stopped, both literally and figuratively.
The period became the beginning of a deep inner journey — a search for who I truly am, what I want, what I can do, and how I want to shape my life.

In the silence, I encountered old pain and beliefs that had guided me for years, sometimes even held me captive.
At the same time, I met extraordinary people who crossed my path, including a shaman. A new world opened up for me. It was as if I was remembering parts of myself that I had lost. Things fell into place. My knee healed better than the doctors thought possible, and space also opened up within me. I discovered that my life could be bigger and richer than I had ever dared to imagine. Thanks to the love, wisdom, and talents of so many beautiful people, I gradually found my way back to myself.

I delved into a holistic view of humans: yoga, meditation, shamanism, healing, massage, emotional bodywork, trauma processing, and more. In doing so, I learned that a human is so much more than just a body—and that the natural connection between mind and body can become a source of strength and healing, precisely when we've had to learn to forget that bond.

In 2018, I began my path as a yoga teacher, healer, educator, and therapist.
I started my practice with yoga, meditation, and healing—ways of working that felt natural to me. As I made my own journey, I was able to support others on theirs: back to their body, their feelings, their breath. We took this journey together and still do.

Over the years, I have grown, my practice has grown, and in 2020 everything came together: all the paths I walked, all the knowledge, experience, and intuition formed a whole. The vision to always see a person in their full truth became the foundation of my work.

From that vision, I meet every person with open hands, an open mind, and an open heart.
Where I can help you to meet yourself, I do so with love and gentleness.
I listen to who you are, to the paths you've had to take, the obstacles you've carried. And together we look for what you need — so you can walk your own path to peace, balance, and strength.
So that you can remember who you truly are again, and your inner light can shine freely.

Love, Ellen
