Through Comfort Zone Retreats, Ellie blends her background in science, wellness, nutrition, and mindfulness with her passion for adventure, nature, and community.

What Past Participants Are Saying
"This retreat completely reset my nervous system and my life." "I came to Yosemite feeling burned out and disconnected from myself. Between the breathwork sessions that released years of stored tension, the hikes that reminded me how strong I actually am, and the deep conversations around the fire, I left feeling like a different person. Ellie and the team created such a safe container for transformation. Three months later, I'm still using the tools I learned, and the friendships I made feel like soul family. This wasn't just a retreat—it was a turning point."
"The combination of adventure and inner work is pure magic. Hiking beneath Yosemite's waterfalls and granite cliffs naturally opened something in me that years of therapy hadn't touched. The somatic breathwork was incredibly powerful, and having a licensed therapist and experienced guides supporting us made me feel safe to go deep. I processed grief I didn't even know I was carrying. If you're on the fence, just apply. This investment in yourself will pay dividends for years to come."
"After a difficult divorce, I felt small and stuck. This retreat helped me remember who I am beneath all the pain and fear. The daily yoga and meditation grounded me, the hiking challenged me physically in the best way, and the group work helped me see my patterns clearly for the first time. What surprised me most was the community—I expected to feel vulnerable and uncomfortable, but instead I felt completely accepted. I left with clarity, confidence, and genuine friends who still check in on me months later."
"I'm naturally adventure-oriented but terrible at slowing down and feeling my feelings. This retreat gave me both. The hikes were challenging and exhilarating—standing at the top of Vernal Falls was a spiritual experience. But it was the quieter moments that transformed me: the morning meditation in the sequoia grove, the parts work session where I finally understood my inner critic, the sound healing that made me cry in the best way. Ellie and the team are skilled, compassionate, and real. This is the reset I didn't know I desperately needed."
