“Ella is really sensitive to our needs and leads the class in a way that you feel comfortable and safe but also just the right amount of challenged; I was surprised at what I could do, the class really pulled me out of my shell!”

“Ella is an extremely genuine person. I feel that she intends to help & guide individuals towards alignment, happiness and growth. Given her insight and knowledge in both the arts and in her spiritual nature she is a great person to be offering guidance”

“The coaching session I had with Ella was what I didn’t know I needed after ending a week full of planning and going into a week of taking creative risks. The visualisation, the writing and reflection were super useful in helping me feel so much more connected creatively whilst recognising the ways I block my own creativity.”

“Ella’s true understanding of my deepest thoughts has meant that she has given me very wise advise and means that sometimes I can feel her sitting in my shoulder when I need to make a decision. She has shown up for me, she is proud of me and has taught me that I can do anything that I put my mind to. I’m eternally grateful for her time and positive energy” “I joined because I wanted to continue the wonderful intuition work from the course I did with William Whitecloud” The most profound change since coaching with Maya Gandaia has been realising how important it is to be kind to myself and how my childhood thoughts aren’t real. I need to separate myself from my parents to be able to live my true nature and purpose, especially for the sake of my children” “I love coaching with Ella because she is down to earth, understanding, empathetic and listens intently. She speaks from the heart and really does her best to feel into how she can help you in your journey. She shows much appreciation and is so sweetly serene and very real. She is a beautiful being with the most amazing smile who has helped see deep into myself with humour and gratitude”

“To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best day and night to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting.”

The knowledge she gave, the vibe created and being able to access the “Home” place we so regularly forget about and overlook, all led to a soul warming and fulfilling experience. I would highly recommend all artists from any background to take Ella’s workshops”

Ella is an extraordinary teacher. I felt really well during the kundalini session and the meditation. I highly recommend this session to anyone that want experience self awareness and body relaxation

I’ve loved every minute of the Kundalini course! I love the music, the mantras, the mudras, the exercises, and the relaxation, and I love how revitalised I feel afterwards

I came a woman and left feeling a goddess. It was an intense afternoon delving through our inner workings but I left with a huge sense of euphoria and affinity for the other attendees.

Ella’s HEART workshop is a unique combination of yoga, tango and dance/contact improvisation techniques mixed seamlessly so that anyone can benefit. The workshop I attended had participants aged from 20-70 with varying degrees of dance backgrounds. It was a privilege to see everyone working and creating together with genuine joy. Ella has the ability to allow each individual to shine and to reach their creative potential. A rare and precious gift. I can honestly say it was a transformative experience-it won’t change your life but it may change the way you live it.

You bring a lot of calm and safety to the room, holding space for everyone and making us comfortable and connected quite easily. Your workshop was really playful which I think is so important and I really enjoyed the fact that it mixed a lot of different techniques and influences, giving us opportunities to use our bodies, minds, voices, theatrical skills… And I also liked the fact that it had strong spiritual/ self-love and self-care element without being too serious. Laughter and dance all the way!

I absolutely loved the workshop I did with you: it gave me a beautiful awareness of my patterns and purpose.

“The session was so wonderful. So inspiring to be journeying with beautiful women both throughout the workshop and throughout life. I was so pleasantly surprised at the ways in which I was supported to go even deeper into myself, to explore different facets of the work. I made many discoveries, and rediscoveries, about myself and my relationships. I have so much love for this offering. Utterly awe-inspiringly.

I thoroughly enjoyed Ella’s invitation to seek deeper, to ground further into the inner expression of myself. A mindful workshop to root in your own dance.
