Ellen has worked at my retreat centre on staff as well as running many of her own retreats here. What I love about Ellen is her quiet graceful nature. Nothing ruffles her. She is consistently calm, cool and collected. In addition to her dignity and poise, she is also friendly, approachable and warm. Ellen always listens deeply to people and is a wise, intelligent and compassionate woman. She is also a great teacher of Yin Yoga and has an amazing soft and soothing voice that wraps you in a warm blanket and melts away your tension! I see her perfectly fitted to the work she is doing and I have watched her clients unfailingly, relax deeply, let go and brighten considerably. I highly recommend Ellen in her work as a coach and teacher. - Vidya Heisel

Marianne Williamson wrote in A Return To Love: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.” I have experienced up close how Ellen has left her (false) modesty behind and more and more became the person she was always meant to be; powerful, sensitive, smart, wise, bon vivant and inspired. Qualities that everyone who comes into contact with Ellen both privately and professionally, will enjoy to their heart's content. Ellen is like no other able to help people realize that all kinds of paradoxes in life are in fact two very valid sides of the same coin; Strength & Vulnerability, Comfort & Challenge, Lust for Life & Tranquility, Creative & Intellect… The fact that Ellen herself can move smoothly and skillfully between these extremes of life makes her ideally suited in her role as teacher and coach, to teach people how to experience life in all of its fullness. - Rob Hessels

Ellen is a very sincere and dedicated yogini, her commitment to spiritual life is impressive! Devatma Saraswati

Ellen is a professional healer, coach and yoga teacher, intuitive and playful. She is compassionate and conscientious in all she does. She creates a calm and caring environment full of inspiration in which harmony and balance appear in a natural way.

What makes Ellen so special is that when she gives yoga, healing or does a retreat, she automatically channels and passes on the loving and healing energy of Mary Magdalene. This may not be something everyone is familiar with, but it is a very special ‘force’ and it is beautiful to have been a witness of in our work together. This natural flow of the powerful divine feminine, which stimulates healing and raises vibrations in this time of transmutation, makes Ellen and her work very special. - Patries van Elsen

I know Ellen Aarts as a very reliable and honest colleague who knows her profession inside out. She is a driven coach who is analytically very strong. She understands the needs of colleagues, customers and the organization well. She, therefore, scores very high on organizational sensitivity and loyalty.

Ellen thinks and learns very quickly. She is creative in approaching problems and can inspire and connect people. She also proved this in her professional choices that were motivated to serve the customer and organization.

Ellen is goal-oriented and with good argumentation, flexible and decisive enough to deviate from her direction, and then be back at the helm of the new challenge. - Willem Buys

For 41 years now I have my own spiritual center (Guide to Harmony) and my own beauty salon Agency of Beauty in Den Bosch, the Netherlands. I have introduced many students to Healing and learned to work with the energy of Reiki, Angel light masters and Sjamanism. I have been able to train Ellen Aarts to become a special Reiki Master according to the Usui system. She has beautifully combined her qualities as a yoga teacher with the loving Reiki energy. Her ability to work with diverse energies during her healing work, retreats and courses she gives has only strengthened my confidence in her skills and her PURE way of working. From my HEART I wish you all the best in both your working and private life! - Jeanne Stolzenbach
