A WHOLE Convo
Oh you know... just two wellness besties meeting up every week to explore the WHOLENESS of being human.
We're Ella & Ymane...a London raised American-South African and a New York raised Amazigh Moroccan who met on the inter webs and became instant soul sisters.
One of us, a Conspire Breath Work Coach & Reiki Master Teacher and the other an Ayurvedic Practitioner & Transformation Coach... both OBSESSED with holistic health, entrepreneurship, relationships, and the magic of human expansion and growth.
We talk about it ALL so get ready for A WHOLE Convo!
