Ellie Peterson’s teen pregnancy catapulted her into adulthood. At 23 years old, she was divorced and raising three children on her own while making $80 a week as “Ellie from the deli.” As a smoker, her body was unhealthy; her mind was filled with chaotic thoughts and her spiritual being was weighed down with fear, self-pity, anger, and worthlessness. Because of her own self-care needs, she created the Meditative Movements™ technique.
In 1992 she graduated from the College of St. Catherine. She is an author, health and wellness columnist and professional speaker. Ellie spends her winters in Florida and loves being with her six grandchildren and family during our Minnesota summers.
