Meet Ella Heink | Soul Coach, Energy Healer/Strategist, Spa Owner

We had the good fortune of connecting with Ella Heink and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ella, how do you think about risk?
My personal motto has always been “Life is a daring adventure or nothing” by Helen Keller.

Without risks we go nowhere in life, nothing changes, and that’s certainly not a very fun life – any successful entrepreneur will tell you risks are absolutely necessary!
However its also important to keep your mind regulated during risk taking – your brain is quite primitavely-wired and will avoid any situations that cause fear, so it’s crucial to do the work energetically so you can physically take those “risky” action steps thus reaping ultimate reward!

Helping entrepreneurs manage these risks energetically is one of my favorite parts of my soul coaching as it’s so rewarding for them to experience, and for myself to witness!

Risks played a factor in my own career upon launching my business during Covid, as well as every time I expanded my business and moved locations; I can guarantee there’s a lot more exciting “risks” coming in the near future as well and I now view them with excitement rather than fear.

What should our readers know about your business?
Wow well where to start – I own a Holistic Day Spa and also am an Energetic Healer, Mentor, and Initiator of woman into their most free, authentic, empowered, bad *ss selves.

My business mantra as a whole is Beauty in Body, Mind, and Soul and this is where my spa ties in with the Energetic Healing/Mentoring.
I always strive to see the individual for who they truly are inside, for whom they are trying to express and birth into this world, but of which can often be hiding under layers of perceptions, beliefs, fears, and insecurities and gently encourage this to be brought out whether it’s through a “beauty treatment”, energetic healing, or more.

I started my day spa just over 2 years ago during Covid (2020) after getting laid off at the spa I was elsewhere employed at and figured I would make the best of the situation and launch my dreams.
Initially I began simply as mobile since this made my clients more comfortable within their own homes, then grew from there as clientele, finances, and situations permitted.
I have since relocated commercial spaces 3 times but am now in an incredible location with lots of room to grow and have since started offering workshops and ladies nights to further enhance the overall health and mindset of our community.

On the Soul Coaching side I started implementing this into my business after about a year once the spa side started becoming more stable; I first started offering my Energy Healing services as sole treatments and add on treatments and have now started offering them digitally to the world.
I came into this adventure from a lifetime of spiritual experiences and learning; having acquired my Master Level of Reiki in the Usui Shiki Ryoho Method, trained under Shamans, acquired my Crystal Healing Certification along with much more. Through all of these experiences I could never single out any exclusive method that worked for my clients, or could cover the wide range of healing modality that I witnessed upon opening a session, and so my signature modality was born, Etheric Vitality Enhancement.

These energetic healing sessions assist in expanding your possibility and potential based upon your personal energetics; they can transform anxiety, trauma, or trapped emotions stored in your body, and can shift old behaviors that are now holding you back all together healing you in body, mind, and soul so you can start to love and dance with your emotions, befriend your fears, and live with purpose.
In addition I always share a few customized energetic strategies to assist in grounding the work we did into the physical while your brain shifts to match your new energetic vibration.

It’s been absolutely remarkable doing this work with my clients and watching them blossom – turning possibilities into realities, making bad *ss business choices that prosper, manifesting their dreams, and finding true authentic joy and connection in their every day life.

Launching and expanding my business certainly wasn’t easy, I implemented a lot of the energetic strategies I now teach to keep myself regulated, calm, and assured in my action thereby able to hold each step emotionally and take the leaps necessary.

The biggest thing I would like the world to know is that the impossible can be made possible; when you are looking at your dreams break them down into small, tangible action steps to implement so you aren’t in over your head too soon, but also don’t forget about mindset – ride those emotional waves, honour your emotions, implement strategies to keep yourself regulated.
Don’t forget about focusing on you and your loved ones – find balance, the more they thrive the more you will too and its no fun if you get to the finish line alone.
Savour each moment, celebrate each step! I love cracking a bottle of champagne to celebrate my small wins! Cherish and revel in gratitude each day for this will help you keep going all the while holding fast to your future vision.
Lastly, don’t settle, you have your dreams for a reason and I promise your dreams are calling to you too.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Oooooh well, Castlegar may be great but honestly our outdoors takes the cake. No visit is complete here without a hike up Dove Hill, or around Nancy Greene to start. If it’s winter then a ski trip at Red Mountain is definitely called for, or in summer going for a kayak in Arrow Lake. Food wise we could pop into Roots, the Grateful Table, or Lions Head are some faves.

In addition we would have to pop over to Nelson to walk down Baker Street and check out some of the cute boutiques like Scout, Vibe, and Woosah as well as enjoying some cocktails and charcuterie at The Black Cauldron or enjoying some Scotch at the Broken Hill!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would love to give a shout out to my husband, Adrian Heink. Without his constant love, support, encouragement and feedback I wouldn’t have been able to give the all that I have to my business.

In addition to shout out to my kids, Anna and Zenith, whom are a daily inspiration for me to always show up and do my best.

Finally to my mother, Pamela Rempel, with whom has been been such a journey of learning, of growing, and is always ready at a moment’s notice to bounce ideas off of and celebrate my little moments with me.
