Welcome to Ella’s Blog

Ella has been following the natural cycles for over six years now — the pull of the moon, the turn of the seasons, the quiet wisdom of the planets moving through the sky. What started as curiosity slowly became a way of living. Of listening.

She is a certified shamanic practitioner, breathwork facilitator, sound healer, and coach — trained across Amsterdam, Berlin, Mexico, and Bali. She has held over 60 circles and gatherings since 2021, and founded Atelier Sacred Bloom, a creative healing studio for women in Amsterdam-West where creativity and healing come together.

Writing has always been part of who she is. For over 15 years, Ella has poured herself into blogs — from fashion to travel to the world of specialty coffee. Each chapter a different passion, a different version of herself finding her voice. And now, all of those threads come together here.

These are her Soul Letters — reflections on what the cosmos is whispering, and invitations to listen to what it stirs in you.

Welcome.
