YOUR JEWELRY IS A POWERFUL WITNESS

You deserve aligned, earth friendly, luxurious safety and energetic witness to your intentions, stories and manifestations.

WHAT Materials do you use?

We obsess over sourcing the most human, animal and earth friendly materials we can.BiodegradableFrom our jewelry to our packaging, we have chosen materials which will naturally degrade, are recyclable or compostable, in order to reduce any harmful environmental impact over the lifespan of our work.Certified Earth FriendlyWe take the certifications and studies done on any materials used in our studio seriously and read the fine print to ensure that both humans, animals and the land have been cared for in the process of creating the material, and that each piece will continue to care for it's environment, when the product leaves our energy field.Non-Toxic From our clay, to our paints, to our finishing products, everything we use is free from toxic chemicals and safe to be around our own service dog and toddler in the studio, as well as safe for you, your loved ones, and our beloved Mother Earth.

Each art piece is unique and designed to be carefully worn with awareness and reverence. It's natural elements may vintage and evolve with time.-Store in a clean, dry, dark environment.-Keep away from makeup, perfumes, oils, and creams.-Do not sleep in or swim or shower with your jewelry.-If needed, gently and quickly clean earrings with a soft cloth or Q-tip and soapy water. Dry immediately.

How do I recycle my jewelry?

Each handcrafted piece has been made with our children's futures in mind.Gift itUse it as an intentional gift for a beloved soul.Donate itTake your pieces to a thrift store or place where it can find a second life.Return itWe will clean and gift it, or donate it for you, no charge. If the clay is not usable we will reclaim the metal and thoughtfully dispose of the clay.Recycle itRecycle the metal components, and crush up the clay components with a hammer and leave to soak/dissolve in a bowl of water for a few days. Pour the water into your compost pile and put the clay slop in the waste bin. Both the clay and it's finishes are earth friendly and water based and will break down gently.

What if you were no longer alone in navigating your disability and sensory needs?

What if you were held and supported towards accessing your life and dreams?

You are overwhelmed

TRYING TO create a new life with a body that no longer fits your dreams

Moving through each moment in a system that holds

feral grief for dreams lost

and is WILDLY PRIMAL

in its demands to prioritize attention and care.

Yet you are not alone anymore. I AM HERE , IN THIS WITH YOU.

Laura Strawberry Coast Earrings - Sonder Adornment LLC

Hello Love,

I am ELLIE.

Traumatic Brain Injury survivor, Chronic and Intractable Migraine warrior, including Hemiplegic Migraine, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome warrior, and Medical Mama to a TBI and Migraine strong toddler.

7 years ago, I was a 20 something newlywed, working in Respiratory Therapy while I pursued my Medical Degree.

I was in a high honors Abnormal Psychology Program and full of dreams for my future as a doctor, mama to a dozen, living on a woodland homestead in our dream build, flipping houses, kayaking, swing dancing and climbing mountains with my partner as a hobby.

Then I was hit by a car.

I couldn't even remember how to make

RICE

After a few years of therapy and doing every treatment and medication we could access, the doctors, including holistic providers, said I would never work again.

My brain injury is so unpredictable.

The pain levels so uncontrollable.

But they didn't know ME.

DESIGNING EXPANSIVE SYSTEMS OF SUPPORT, AND WEAVING IN EVERYDAY ACCESSIBILITY BECAME MY POWER AND LIVING ART FORM.

And I want to create space for YOU in that art, Love.

Because you deserve more than a witness to your disability,

You deserve a life that can expand, that has access, and that returns your power and energy.

IF YOU THINK

You have to white knuckle life

Hiding your needs to keep others comfortable

IF YOU THINK

YOU HAVE TO HOLD YOUR GRIEF BACK

Because You should be happy to be here

IF YOU THINK

YOU WILL NEVER FIND A NEW DREAM

Because life dreams only come once

TAKE MY HAND, LOVE and let me THINK WITH YOU.

I work one on one with disabled individuals and/or their families and caretakers

As a team, we design systems of support that bring NURTURE, PEACE, a deeper SENSE OF HOME, and a safe space to DREAM.

Together we create

accessibility plans

PERSONAL ADVOCACY PLAN

Elle shows a unique awareness of TBI and sensory processing challenges.
Elle is collaborative and has expanded on ideas and recommendations consistently; she is a keep observer and is attentive to subtle changes that may indicate a need as well as growth. She is resourceful and thinks outside the box, able to utilize space and materials to allow sensory and motor needs to be addressed in a natural and convenient way within and outside the home.
— SUSAN MCNUTT, OT, Pediatric NDT and SI Therapy Services

Elle defines the phrase 'Holding Space'
I have never worked with someone so intentional about the space she creates in order to hold someone else. She's thoughtful towards the space she creates for herself and family and she carries that same respect to every detail for her clients. What's even more remarkable is how she makes this craft of holding space look so natural when many of us have to work at creating this sort of sacred environment.
— SAMANTHA CLARK, Intuitive Coach, The Cosmic Doula

We need more women like Ellie, who see us through our walls...in a light we don’t even see ourselves.
There’s something about her. Something about her ability to hold space for you in conversation. She leans in, asks a question and all of the sudden you are learning something about yourself you hadn’t seen, or weren’t willing to admit. By the end of the call I had tears in my eyes, and hours of things to think through about my heart and the journey I was on. We need more women like Ellie, who see us through our walls and the lies we believed as children. Who sees other women for who they are outside of the patriarchy, at times in a light we don’t even see ourselves.
— LAURA LOBOSCO, Songwriter, UX Designer

Being Held Intentionally

ON SLACK

Through Slack, a space where we can use both voice recordings, text and transcript as supports our systems to engage in depth around your sensory systems and what they are calling for.

We will listen to your sensory processing systems and come up with personalized and completely curated solutions for supporting your accessibility within your home space, devices, and expanding out into solutions for supporting your system while out in the world around us.

Instead of having to schedule zooms where one or both of us may not be feeling up to the call, we will be creating a detailed record of conversations and ideas that both of us can engage with during times that are most supportive for us, within Slack. This supports both memory, energy and creativity in our work together.

Mindfully Troubleshooting

Advocacy Challenges

In our month together, you get to chose an advocacy space for us to troubleshoot together, such as family support, support from providers, safety systems for hospitalizations, support in your workplace and working with HR, etc.

We will discuss the trouble points and how to create a DESIRED SUPPORT where both sides are mutually engaged, and how to create graceful boundaries and know when to find support elsewhere when necessary.

We will work on mindset around Dr/Patient relationships and setting realistic goals and expectations for support systems, as well as mindset on who you are and what kind of support your system deserves and you should be able to expect from those around you.

I will be using these conversations to develop a hard copy Advocacy Plan for you in an accessible PDF format for you to refer to and use in your future work advocating for yourself in that needed and deserved space of support.

Discovering the Access

YOU DESERVE

Brain Injury and TBI are often overlooked and severely misunderstood by both professionals and the general community. Every brain is so unique, and no brain injury is the same, but that doesn't mean you should be ignored and left to try and find ways to keep up with the "normal" expected of you.

Accessibility starts with being seen, and, in working together, we will be giving your system a chance to be seen by YOU, and by me; to be fully acknowledged, so that we can then find ways to support it.

Accessibility in brain injury is about making the invisible injury visible, and in doing so gifting that injury with the tools and support that it needs to stop feeling like it need to fight or hide at all times to appear to keep up. Keeping up is no longer the goal, Accessing comfort and support is the goal as well as building supportive boundaries.
