The Team
Crystal Ellis LSCSW, EMDR Trained, 200 YTT, Reiki Master, Ayurveda Digestion & Nutrition Coach
Crystal is the owner and founder of Twisted Bliss. She believes individuals are unique in all aspects which posed the question for her, why should health and healing be any different? After earning her degree in social work, Crystal worked as an outpatient therapist while also working in a high school setting for 10 years. Knowing she wanted to create her own healing space, Crystal created Twisted Bliss bringing Outpatient Therapy, Reiki, Yoga and Ayurveda to her daily practices. Crystal is trained in EMDR therapy and uses this evidence based approach often in her clinical work.
Crystal is passionate about healing in regards to herself, her family and her clients.
Her favorite mantra is "I AM LOVE" and she believes love truly is the greatest healing force of all.
Luna, Therapy Dog
Luna became a certified Therapy Dog in 2021. She spent the majority of her work in a high school setting loving on students and staff. Luna still enjoys going out into the community to experience new things and to meet new people (especially the people who give her doggie treats).
Luna enjoys swimming, sleeping and the occasional yoga pose.
She is a great asset to Twisted Bliss allowing people to feel more comfortable in session while bringing a sense of companionship to everyone she meets.
Sam Ellis, 200 YTT
Sam completed his 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training through The Mindfulish School in 2022. Sam has been on a health awareness and embodiment journey for over 10 years. We appreciate the male energy he brings to our yoga offerings and his passion for helping individuals who are limited in their current mobility. You may find that many of Sam's classes are taught using a chair as a prop.
Book a class with Sam, you won't regret it!
Areas of Specialty
Outpatient Therapy
I believe in the power of sharing a nonjudgemental space with others. We all need a place to let our walls down to be the most authentic version of ourselves. I am EMDR trained and incorporate yoga asana and pranayama (pose and breath work) into my sessions. I meet my clients where they are and we work together to identify goals to help them live their best lives.
Reiki
Reiki is a healing technique where gentle hand placements guide "life force energy" to the client. Reiki brings stress reduction, increased relaxation and healing to clients. When we reside at a higher frequency we have greater overall health and vitality. As a Reiki Master I am excited to share Reiki through individual sessions and I look forward to teaching Reiki classes in the near future! Book your session by clicking on the "services" tab above or reach out to inquire about studying Reiki with with me in the upcoming months!
Yoga
There are so many aspects of yoga and variations that fit every'body'. Once you find your yoga practice it becomes beneficial to the physical, emotional and spiritual self. I completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training (YTT) in 2019. It was through my own healing I realized the power of this beautiful mindset, movement and breath. I cannot imagine conducting my clinical work without incorporating yoga. Furthermore, I would not want to go through my daily life without embodying some aspect of a yoga practice. If you are new to yoga I hope you decide to give it a try and if you have been practicing for awhile I hope we get a chance to practice together in a playful and healing space! ~Namaste
Mastering Ayurvedic Digestion & Nutrition
I am excited to begin my journey in Mastering Ayurvedic Digestion & Nutrition! This year long course has provided me with a new understanding around food, the way our individual bodies/constitutions digest (or don't digest) what we eat, the importance of our lifestyles and perhaps most importantly, our daily practices and routines.
I look forward to providing a more in depth approach to healthy living upon completion of this course. Through this natural system of medicine, I believe a more balanced and healthy life is attainable for all. I am excited to bring this knowledge to my personal life as well as to my practice.
Graduation Date August 2023!
