Feng Shui and Interior Design
‘Ellie helped me harmonize my bedroom, which greatly improved my sleep,
hence my love life and relationships. For years I suffered from sleeping
difficulties, but after decluttering my bedroom, I slept through the night, and
woke up feeling rested and refreshed. At first, it was difficult to remove
electronic devices and art objects from my past relationships, but with Ellie’s
guidance, I felt empowered and let go of all of them. Thank you, Ellie for your
encouragement and knowledge!’ Julia, Palo Alto
‘Ellie
helped us to transform our dark bathroom into
a beautiful private spa! We started by decluttering our bathroom and
painted it a soft lavender color. Then we bought a lavender-blue shower
curtains, bathroom rug, a couple of lavender candles and a beautiful purple
Orchid flower. These simple changes resulted in an amazing transformation of
our bathroom and all for the cost of $138.00. Thank you Ellie! We love our new private spa!’ Julie and
John, Los Gatos
‘Ellie
helped us to declutter, organize and Feng Shui our whole house, which was neglected for many
years! Once, we declutterd, organized and applied Ellie’s creative and
inspiring interior design’s solutions, our house was transformed into a beautiful
home, a place of joy, comfort and relaxation. The two
areas, which needed the most decluttering and organization, were our children’s
bedrooms. The immediate positive impact became apparent when we stopped
asking our 9 year old daughter and 12 year old son to do their homework, pick
up their things, stop arguing, etc. Pleasantly, we noticed our constant nagging
had turned into praising them for keeping their bedrooms clean and doing their
homework. We are also delighted that every Saturday morning they bring
their dirty clothes basket to the laundry room and empty their trash cans,
which have helped to keep their bedrooms clean and organized. Our daughter and son are now much happier
and calmer. They also sleep
better, argue less, and are more focused on their school work. For
this amazing transformation and so much more, we can’t thank you enough,
Ellie!’ Cathy & Steve , Almaden Valley
‘Ellie helped me declutter my home,
a process that increased the energy flow
in my life. Thanks to the Feng Shui work Ellie did, my home is now my sanctuary. I feel at peace and organized within its walls.
Life is a journey, but Ellie has helped me pack for a successful trip. Thank
you, Ellie for your patience and knowledge!’ Alicia, San Mateo
‘I
was a little nervous about having Ellie come into my cluttered home,
but those feelings evaporated once she was here. Her warm and positive attitude helped me see the potential of the
different spaces in my home, and she provided guidance on where and how to
start the process so that it didn't feel overwhelming. She was very supportive and encouraging, and when our visit was
done I felt empowered to tackle the clutter. Since that day,
I've made significant progress and
feel much more relaxed and happy in my
home.’ Deana, Los Gatos
‘Ellie
empowered me not only to declutter my home,
but my relationships with toxic people who drained my energy and in
many ways paralyzed my life! Thank you Ellie, I feel free! ‘Sandy, Palo Alto
‘Initially we felt insecure about
changes in our home and home office, but Ellie inspired us to rise above
small worries and approach change with practical solutions and optimism. Thank
you, Ellie, for helping us to make our home and home office clutter-free,
organized and harmonious! We love it!’ Maggie and Steve, Los Gatos
‘Ellie
helped me to declutter and organize my
office. It was a total mess. The result has been very
rewarding. I am now more focused on my job and actually enjoy working
in my home office, instead of wasting time and getting frustrated.’ Steve, Santa Cruz
‘Ellie
helped us to declutter our tired living room and
turn it into a place of total relaxation. We started by getting rid of all
the mismatched furniture, paintings, piles of books and magazines on the floor,
cleaned all the windows and removed a table, which had blocked the French doors
to our beautiful deck. After that we implemented Ellie’s creative suggestions and
rearranged the furniture in our living room creating a cozy place for all of us
to enjoy! Our deck, which is now completely accessible, is a delightful place
for morning coffee and a glass of wine at night! This budget-friendly
transformation has been simply amazing! Thank you Ellie for your creativity.’
Becky and Bob, Santa Cruz
Declutter Your Life Workshop
‘I came
home from the workshop
and decluttered my entry way, a work station, and the shelves and
counters in my kitchen. My stack of reading material had unread magazines from
two years ago, and I realized "I could live without them", and that
in fact, I HAVE been living without them - can't wait to cancel the
subscription. Just looking around, I actually feel better, more
spacious inside, and more in the present moment. Proof to me that not
only is there a mind/body connection, but a mind/environment connection that I
can't afford to ignore! Thank you, Ellie, for a real take-away!’ Peter, Santa Cruz
‘Ellie's
knowledge about mindful design and
decluttering one's life is only surpassed by her passion for
it. Attending the workshop was enjoyable and most importantly, useful. I came
home from the Declutter Your Life
workshop and decluttered my kitchen counters before going to my next
meeting. I feel so good looking at those counters. It really does
impact how you feel! I'm on a roll now. Thanks Ellie! Nancy, Santa Cruz
‘Thank you Ellie for the inspiring workshop. It was
beyond my expectations!!! Not only did we learn some great tools for tackling the clutter,
but also the core blocks of letting go. I appreciate all the
special touches, delicious gourmet treats, sachets, and 1:1 personal
connection. Ellie, you’re a true gem. Thank you!’ Kim, Santa Cruz
‘I had the opportunity to attend
Ellie's Declutter
Your Life workshop and was very
impressed with the manner in which she conducted the workshop. What I
appreciated the most was her subtle
humor and her ability to get the attendees to participate effectively.’ Sandhya, Morgan Hills
‘Ellie
workshop was
very inspiring but most of all it motivated me to get out of my
"overwhelm" mode to continue this unpleasant project that needs
to be finished. I came home and started with a fresh approach and am
working on it a little each day." Joanna, Los Gatos
'I truly enjoyed your workshop.' I loved your preparation and your attention to
detail. I found it soothing to be present. You are on to something in your work
and I thank you for helping me continue
to move forward.’ Jan, Santa Cruz
Personal Chef, Catering, Culinary & Wine Pairing Classes
‘We hired
Chef Ellie as our personal chef six years ago and can't imagine
our lives without her gourmet, nourishing, amazingly beautiful and
delicious foods. She is a joy to work with and is always willing to
cater our events even on short notice. We absolutely love her and highly
recommend her.’ Rose & Michael, Saratoga
‘We were meat eaters and skeptical to hire
a vegan personal chef, but once we
tasted Chef Ellie’s wonderful vegan Moroccan couscous that she had catered
at a friend's house, we hired her immediately! We
no longer eat meat. We are much
healthier and feel great! Thank you Chef Ellie for preparing delicious
healthy and amazing meals for us, we love eating at home and enjoy
perfectly paired wine with our foods.’ Suzanne & Steve, Los Gatos
‘We hired Chef Ellie to cater our very small, private wedding and it was
perfect! Ellie was a pleasure to work with right from the beginning.
She was energetic and joyful and we immediately connected with her. She was
attentive to the needs of our picky-eater children and was willing to adapt
some of her recipes to accommodate them. The entire experience with Ellie was
wonderful. We were in good hands and it was so nice to sit down to a fantastic
intimate meal after our long day. Ellie gave us the royal treatment. The
food was AMAZING!! I loved having leftovers for a week...I didn't get
tired of eating the delicious Moroccan couscous. The kids loved Ellie as well.
They appreciated her joyful energy and generosity. Ellie went above and beyond,
from beautiful flowers and specially prepared napkins and table settings, to a
gift bag for each of us to remember our special day, to a basket of homemade
dark chocolate that was exquisite, and the special treats didn't stop
there. I will definitely think of Ellie for a special event again, and
would recommend her to everyone.’ Kamala & Jason, Santa Cruz
‘I highly recommend Chef
Ellie’s outstanding cooking and baking! Finally, a chef who truly knows
how to cook vegan and vegetarian dishes and make them savory. Her sense of
using just the right seasonings is a gift. She is creative and always right on.
Her baking skills are top notch. Her creations are always astonishing
as they are not only a treat to eat but they are beautiful to look at. She's a
top baker. She uses the best ingredients and doesn't produce
anything that is not of the highest caliber. Creative is her middle name. No
one would go wrong putting her in charge of any catering event. Just enjoy the
talent, you will see. “Judy, Santa Cruz
‘Chef
Ellie’s chocolate
making class with lavender is
simply amazing! Once I experienced the exotic taste and wonderful aroma of lavender
in chocolate, it became my daily treat! Thank you, Ellie, for introducing me to
culinary lavender and for the delicious and fun class!’ Lisa, Saratoga
‘Chef Ellie’s
vegan cooking
and wine pairing class, A
Taste of Spain on Your Plate was lots of fun and delicious. I always
thought vegan foods were boring until I took this class! Not only did I enjoy
the class thoroughly, I also learned how to cook delicious vegan foods and pair
them with the right wine, too!’ Jennifer,
Santa Clara
‘I loved
the chocolate
and wine pairing class! Chef Ellie’s positive and exuberant
spirit guides you along as you make beautiful chocolate arts together in a
small and fun group. The beautiful included packaging inspires you to create
lovely homemade gifts you can take to share with friends and family. That is if
you can keep from eating the yummy chocolates
yourself!’ Chris,
Los Gatos
‘We loved
Chef Ellie’s vegan artisan chocolate and wine pairing class! It was a
beautiful Valentine’s Day present for myself and my husband. We highly
recommend it!’ Rebecca & John, Palo
Alto
‘We absolutely
loved Chef Ellie’s vegan cooking and wine pairing class, A
Taste of Morocco on Your Plate! She made the class so much fun by engaging
students in all aspects of cooking, attending to each person, and encouraging
them to be adventurous when cooking!
Now, my husband and I take turns cooking vegan foods for each other on
our date nights. We love experimenting with recipes and making them vegan.’
