Jacqui Ellis 

B.A. Hons, BCST, RCST, IBT, RI/NDT (INPP Method), DoTERRA WA. 

Jacqui works intuitively using all her training and knowledge to help babies, children, parents and families understand how to come into deep relationship with themselves and each other so all can achieve their brilliance and shine!

Mum and parent to three amazing humans, Jacqui is also a twin and womb survivor and a country girl at heart, having been brought up on a farm in Devon.

She has always been fascinated by others and knew that she would work with people rather than things. She loves understanding what makes people tick, why do they do what they do in the way that they do it. Becoming a parent brought a whole new angle to this!

Each of her children had their own struggles in education: difficulties with reading and writing, struggles with co-ordination and balance, difficulties sitting still and attending to mention a few. And like all parents, she wanted the best for them. But she just couldn’t understand why some things seemed so difficult and how to help.

Family life was becoming tricky and tough. Nothing was making sense to her as a parent. She could not find answers from the medical or educational professionals either. What was the missing piece? How could she find the key to unlock the brilliance that she knew was there? Intuitively she knew that very early life experience was playing a part. This sent her on a quest to find a solution.  

Jacqui learnt about retained baby reflexes, and how the baby is programmed to follow a developmental sequence of movement during the first year of life that matures their central nervous system for later higher performance.

She studied with eminent professionals in pre and perinatal psychology, understanding the consequences of a traumatic pregnancy or birth, and how bodies communicate their earliest experiences through structure, movement and body language.

Delving into her own womb and birth journey as well as those earliest experiences of her children has provided a rich tapestry for Jacqui to consolidate her learning and understanding. 

All three of her children have completed the Developmental Movement Programme as well as other holistic therapies and now are out in the world achieving their potential – it is a truly delightful feeling seeing your child embrace opportunities to thrive in their world! The whole experience has empowered Jacqui to parent in a much more conscious and attuned way which has deepened her connexions with the children and brought clarity and joy to family life.

How could she not share this with others? How could she not enable and empower other parents and children to do and feel the same?
