About the Instructor
Ella Shannon believes that our most profound healing happens at the intersection of intimacy, mindfulness, and neuroscience—and she's spent her career creating that sacred space for hundreds of individuals and couples just like you.
After witnessing the transformative power of holistic intimacy work during her early years as a relationship counselor at Relationships Australia, Ella embarked on a mission to develop an approach that addresses both the psychological and somatic dimensions of connection. This journey led her to complete her Master of Sexology, become a Clinical Sexologist with the Society of Australian Sexologists (where she now serves as National Chairperson), and become an EMDR-Accredited Therapist & Consultant.
From her sun-drenched practice in Cairns, Far North Queensland, Ella blends evidence-based therapy modalities with yogic and tantric traditions that honor our innate capacity for pleasure and connection. What makes her approach uniquely effective is how she integrates attachment theory, trauma resolution techniques, and tantric practices into practical tools couples can actually use in their daily lives.
"Most relationship struggles aren't about compatibility—they're about unresolved attachment patterns and unexpressed needs," Ella explains. "When we create safety for authentic expression, intimacy naturally deepens."
In her Beducated course "Grow Together: Tantric Practices to Strengthen Your Relationship," Ella guides you through the transformative tantric practices she's refined over years of clinical practice. You'll discover how to communicate beyond words, cultivate presence during intimate moments, and establish rituals that keep your connection thriving through life's inevitable challenges. Her trauma-informed approach ensures that even those with complicated relationship histories feel safe exploring new dimensions of intimacy.
Ready to evolve your relationship into something more connected, playful, and deeply satisfying? Ella's gentle guidance and practical wisdom await you.
