Ellen Ronis McCallum

I believe that in order to be fully present in each moment we need to be conscious of and present in our bodies. The body, mind and spirit are inextricably connected.  The health of one affects the health of them all.  My work at Conscious Body reflects this connection and my pleasure in working with you to address the physical and energetic aspects of your well -being.  In a massage therapy session I aim to find and break up physicalized blocks in the soft tissue releasing stress, tension and that which keeps you from moving freely in your body and life.  Through meditation in motion, Authentic Movement facilitates an experience of being out of the overactive, thinking mind and in your truth as it moves through your body resulting in a greater sense of personal, creative and emotional awareness. With Pilates I help my clients strengthen the deep core muscles which surround the natural curves of the spine creating better alignment, posture and balance, an increase in agility, a decrease in risk of injury during sports or everyday activities and a grace and strength that comes from the inside out.  With Core Energetics, I help clients understand how unresolved emotional and psychological issues get stuck in the body and how to physically release this energy, allowing for integration and grounding in the body/mind/spirit and a freedom & aliveness in life. I have been a NYS licensed Massage Therapist since 1986 in private practice and working for chiropractors and sports medicine doctors. I am a Certified Core Energetics Therapist and an Authentic Movement Facilitator.   I have been a Chi Nei Tsang practitioner since 2002.  I have been certified as a Pilates instructor by Half Moon Pilates, a certifying organization accredited by the Pilates Method Alliance (PMA). I enjoy creating sessions that use a blend of all that I know and all that I am to create a unique session geared to your particular needs.
