The Core Sessions

A grounded, human approach to meaningful change.

The Core Sessions are private, structured, four-session containers with Ellie designed to help you address a particular set of issues, to understand what’s happening in your life, shift the patterns that keep you stuck, and build a steadier, clearly laid out, more connected way of living.

All Core Sessions follow Ellie's CORE framework:

Center + Clarify → Observe + Organize → Regulate + Realign → Evolve + Embody

and also includes daily digital check-ins, three worksheets a week, journal prompts, challenges and meditations in between sessions to keep you on track.

You begin with alignment, and then if you're ready, you shift.

what are the core sessions

The Core Sessions grew out of years of working with people in many different ways — coaching, intuitive work, Jewish learning, somatic awareness, and emotional patterning. I eventually realized that the people who came to me weren’t looking for one modality; they were looking for someone who could see the whole picture and help them understand what was happening in their lives on multiple levels at once.

The Core Sessions are the synthesis of my best work: the intuitive listening that helps me hear what’s underneath,
the psychological and relational understanding that reveals patterns, the somatic and nervous-system work that brings steadiness, and the Torah-based lens that helps people find meaning and alignment.

I created this structure because I saw how much faster and deeper people could shift when all these pieces were held together.
The Core Sessions give me the space to work the way I’m actually built to work — and they give you a clear, grounded path to meaningful, sustainable change.

Center and Clarify

Center: Come back to yourself. Find your ground, settle your nervous system, and create enough inner steadiness to see what’s really happening.

Centering creates the conditions for honesty and insight.

Clarify: Name what’s going on inside. Identify the feelings, needs, patterns, and tensions that have been driving your reactions. Clarifying brings coherence to what previously felt confusing or overwhelming.

Observe and Organize

Observe: Notice the patterns with openness rather than judgment.
Observe how you react, what you protect, how your body responds, and how the past may be shaping the present.
Observation is the doorway to understanding.

Organize: Make sense of what you’re seeing.
Connect the pieces—emotional, physical, relational, and spiritual—into a clear picture.
Organizing turns insight into orientation.

Regulate and Realign

Regulate: Create internal safety.
Soften activation, calm reactivity, and bring the nervous system back into balance. Build a personal toolbox to know how to return to self and sanity.
Regulation makes new choices possible.

Realign: Shift how you respond, relate, and communicate.
Move toward truth, connection, and values-based choices.
Realignment is the step where patterns begin to change.

Evolve and Embody

Evolve: Step into a new way of being. Shift where you make your life choices from.
Let the work reshape how you show up—in your relationships, habits, and emotional life.
Evolution is the quiet emerging of what’s next.

Embody: Practice what you’ve learned until it becomes natural.
Integrate new patterns into daily living, relationships, and your inner world.
Embodying is where change becomes real and lasting.

Why Do The Core Sessions?

Because change is easier when you have a clear process and someone who can hold the whole picture with you.

The Core Sessions help you see your patterns, regulate your system, realign your choices, and practice new ways of being.

They integrate the emotional, physical, relational, and spiritual layers of your life — so you’re not working on one part while neglecting another.

This is work that stays with you long after the sessions end.
