The Embodied Mariposa

🌿 Welcome to The Embodied Mariposa

Downward Dog Wellness has been home to so much growth, healing, and community over the years. It has held my work as a therapist, yoga teacher, and guide through seasons of learning, unlearning, and becoming.

Over time, my work has continued to evolve. My relationship with the body, nervous system, spirituality, and ancestral healing has deepened. My own healing journey has expanded. And the way I hold space has become more embodied, more rooted, and more intentional.

The Embodied Mariposa was born from that evolution.

Mariposas represent transformation, resilience, and return. They remind us that growth is not rushed. It happens in cycles. In quiet moments. In reflection. In rest. In courage.

This new name reflects the heart of my work today.

It honors:
• Embodied healing
• Nervous system care
• Cultural and ancestral wisdom
• Trauma informed practice
• Gentle, sustainable growth
• Wholeness of mind, body, and spirit

While Downward Dog Wellness remains part of my foundation and ongoing work, The Embodied Mariposa represents the next chapter. One that feels more aligned with who I am and how I serve.

For now, this space will remain simple and grounded while I continue shaping the visual identity and offerings. What matters most is the intention behind it.

Thank you for being here. Thank you for trusting me with your healing journey. Thank you for growing alongside me.

With gratitude,
Ellen 🦋
