  Hello Friends and Visitors,

Earth journey massage, therapeautic massage, hypno-music therapy and music have all been part of my life for many years. I have focused on these areas because I think they are wonderful realms wherein individuals - such as my clients - can enhance their personal growth, support their physical goals and discover the wisdoms within the our planet's web-of-life.

So I hope you check out the descriptions of my services that are listed below, and then consider giving me a call to talk about whether these journeys for your body, mind and spirit would be right for you.

I also do computer repair and web design work, so if you have needs in those areas give me a call.

Hope to hear from you.
Sincerely, Stele E. Ely

      Earth Journey Massage Therapy

Neuromuscular Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Meditative Massage, Range Of Motion Massage, Reflexology, Trigger Point Massage, Prenatal Massage, Thai Massage, Hydrotherapy Massage, and Swedish Massage.

As a massage therapist, my main goal is to complement a client's physical and sports related goals with a space for the client's meditative exploration. These massages may incorporate tools for psychological and meta-physical expansion at the client's request - such as my Totem Musiecology work. (These massage/musiecology sessions can be recorded on CD or tape for the client's later use.) In any case, it is my intention to enable clients to synergize their life forces in order to achieve their physical, personal and professional goals.

My work experience includes 15 years at the 5 star Aspen Club Spa and Sports Medicine Institute in Aspen. As a member of Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals, I have pledged and abided by the ABMP code of professional ethics for over 15 years. [Full resume below.]

Massages available via house calls, my office, and chair massage in business offices or at Wild Oats Baseline. My massage tables are heated if needed. Meditative music accompanies all massages.

After over a decade and a half of massage therapy, I am still very honored to help people attain this empowering balance between body, mind, spirit, humankind and our planet.

Feel free to check out my massage resume below.



      Totem Musiecology = GreenDream

Totem Musiecology is a lyrical and musical guided vision journey into a connection with other life-forms on our priceless Earth in order to support one's personal and professional goals, to honor our planet, and just for fun. These musical quests often reveal beautiful stories and songs of one's journey into our own inner wisdoms and our deep connections with specific life-forms around the world. This music is a co-composed based on input and guidance from the client.

Principles of neural linguistic programming and hypnosis may be incorporated into these compositions if wanted. These custom stories and songs are created using live guitar or synthesizer and can be recorded as a CD or tape for the client to listen to on their own. Copyright certificates are available as well. Clients may also choose to co-compose the music as a gift for someone else. No musical experience is necessary. More info>



      Hypno-Musiecology

My Ericksonian and idiodynamic based hypnotherapy uses goal oriented music that the client and I co-compose before the hypnosis session.

= The first step is identifying the goal(s) that the client has for the hypnotherapy session - such as helping achieve a specific personal goal.

= The next step is usually the creation of positive statements and psychological tools that the client can use to attain their personal goal(s). The client and I work together to create these tools.

= With these tools and statements in mind, the client and I create the lyrics for their song(s). This co-writing process may be structured or more intuitive, depending on what works best for the client.

= Once the song lyrics and melody have been created, the music is then sung live by me or played from a recording for the client during their hypnotherapy session or meditation. The recorded song may be a duet by myself and the client or a solo by either the client or myself.

Optional: The song may be recorded on a cassette that the client can take with them so they can play the song during their meditations or other times.

These goal-oriented techniques can be a lot of fun even when the client is working on important behavioral and personal goals. My hypnotherapy services are not available to individuals who are in need of professional counseling and psychotherapy. Feel free to call me for more info.



      Guitar/ Voice/ Theory Tutor

Whether you are musical or not, whether you have small or large hands, you will be able to play some cool songs after one or two lessons. Even soft fingers have painless fun with this method that has been used by Joni Mitchel, George Harrison and many other great musicians.

We will make some time to study a little music and voice theory so you can write your own songs if you want. If you would like, I will help you write or co-write a special song for someone, for a special celebration, for promoting a message to help make our world a better place, and/or for your own personal goal and affirmation work.

Then, if you want, I will help you perform and record a song that you write. I have a recording system that we can use to lay down our tracks and turn them into a CD.

If by chance our work together turns out a pretty good or even great song, I can arrange copyright protection of the song and give you a copyright partnership certificate. Or, if you have created a song for someone as a gift, we can add their name to the copyright certificate to give to them along with a CD.

If you want to, we can upload the song to my online concert website for your friends and the world to hear.

So explore your musical side for fun, for love, for the planet and/or for your own growth. yoddle-layyy-eeee-oooo

. I use a guitar teaching method that makes learning the guitar much easier in the beginning than other methods. In general, my lessons are for beginners only because even though I am a performer I am not a master guitarist. In most cases with this unique fun method, the student can be playing a song or two after only one lesson.

Here's one song I wrote to check out one of my music styles.





      Nature Story Singer

I tell and sing children's and grown-up nature stories while using various nature picture books and playing the guitar. I add a lot of voice created sound effects and ask the children to participate as characters in some of the stories. Children are encouraged to participate in a songwriting exercise in some of the shows. I can create an educational show for very specific academic material if the instructor or program director gives me a few days of lead-time. I can use almost any book or material given to me for these shows. I especially love performing my own custom shows that are focused on various nature or environmental subjects.



     Outdoor Personal Trainer

My client's personalized outdoor training sessions [usually in the Flatirons] are designed to maximize upper and lower body training or post rehabilitation goals. I use various rubber stretch bands [the ones used by physical therapists], sticks, rocks, and natural features in nature to create a fully balanced workout session. I also include information on the local ecology/ geology with these beautiful workouts.



     GreenDream Custom Ballads

If you would like, I will write a custom message song that is dedicated to a person, event or place that you choose. If the song that I write for you seems appropriate for one of my benefit CD projects, you may choose whether or not you would like it to appear on it. Ballads include a copyright certificate and may be registered in another individual's name to be given as a gift More info>



     Computer [pc] Repair & Upgrades

If your computer needs repaired, upgraded, networked or de-bugged give me a call - especially if you are in the neighborhood. My work includes in-home networking, router setups, virus repair and building custom computers from the box up.



     Website Design & Maintenance

If you need a website designed for a small business or just for fun give me a call. I can help you maintain your site or I can teach you how to maintain some aspects of your website as well.



      GAIALOG Public Relations

I occasionally do PR for environmental organizations. If you are interested, here is a page that summarizes some of the strategies I borrowed and developed for this work.

]]] Biography

When I was just a sprout of seven I would watch my peaceful inventor/ artist Papa turn "pieces of junk" into beautiful functional art. The things that he created always had so much more style and personality that the stuff we could buy in stores. So I wanted to be an inventor-artist.

By the time I was youngster of twelve, I knew well my Dad's kindness that extended to many life forms - wild or domesticated - including trees, flowers and bugs. I liked that Dad would use found materials to create cool looking little gardens in our yard.

I also liked using my magnifying glass to find the insects and other small creatures that enjoyed living in the little oasises that my dad made and other places. I would try to figure out what they were up to, and what they meant to us and us to them. I loved these journeys and always wanted to find out more about Mother nature, so without knowing what the word was, I wanted to be an ecologist too.

My Aunt Gladys was a massage therapist. From about the time I was a whipper-snapper of nine, I remember my little Aunt Gladys telling me that the sometimes painful muscle treatments that she gave her clients were good for the internal organs, joints and muscles. For many years, the foot and hand treatments that she gave me with her strong hands made me feel good too. Aunt Gladys seemed to be some kind of doctor. So I wanted to be a doctor too, except I wanted to be the type of Doctor that had an x-ray machine and all those other cool tools that "real" Doctors seem to have.

I could tell that the massage that Aunt Gladys was doing was done sincerely and for the health and happiness of her clients. So because I wanted to be a Doctor, over the years my Aunt Gladys started helping me get a head start by teaching me anatomy, physiology and about medical conditions. Of course, she also taught me various massage techniques and principles along the way. She would test me on what she taught as well. She believed that people could often stay healthy without surgery and medicines. Ok, so then decided I wanted to be a Doctor that also did massage.

Well, time goes on. I moved away from the old hometown many years ago... but those early experiences are still very evident in my life.

Thanks to Dad, my inventor-artist self still loves to create useful things from "un-usable junk".

My ecologist self is still fascinated daily by the beauty and mystery of those things I can see with a magnifying lupe in the fields. And in my desire to help protect both the small, medium and large life forms in our priceless biosphere, I use music and other media to create more awareness and funds that will help protect it.

Although I did not get to use all those fancy tools that only Doctors get to use, I did get a nursing license and worked in hospitals for a few years. That experience has taught me that preventive medicine - including "preventative environmental medicine" - is a very critical approach for long-term health.

Today, after my studies and working as a Certified Massage Therapist for over 15 years, I feel blessed to be in a profession that focuses on helping people stay healthy so that they may continue to celebrate this priceless life.

My dear Papa is still ecologically tending his yard and gardens, and creating recycled forms that follow function. Keep at it Dear Papa.

And finally, throughout my entire life, my sweet Mom has gently taught me by example the value of love and acceptance. I thank her for the nurturing trust that honored my choices and that helped many of my dreams come true.
