Ellen Slater

I am passionate about reshaping our cultural approach to stress & overstimulation. With more than two decades of experience in therapy and mindfulness training, along with degrees from Northwestern University and the University of Chicago, I’ve had the privilege of learning from incredible individuals such as Kristin Neff, Tara Brach, Bonnie Badenoch, Bessel van der Kolk, and engaging with indigenous communities across the globe to create a deep understanding of neurobiology and compassion. I have taken this knowledge and built the Compassion Cultivation Cycle, which offers a guide to building compassion from the inside out.
