Ellen took her first yoga classes at age 14. After that she got a bit distracted for about 30 years by doing a master in psychology and a doctorate in Information Systems and by working for many years in the academic and consulting world. From 2005 on she started to focus again on what life was really about and educated herself in healing techniques and in 2008 left her academic career as an Associate Professor to dedicate herself to Masia Cal Pau Cruset Retreat Center. She has worked with groups for over 20 years. She completed 2 years of the Four Cycles TM integrated healing program (http://www.cuatrociclos.com) and in 2006 obtained her master in Reiki which allows her to teach reiki to other students. In addition she participated in a first level teacher training of Yin Yoga.
