Adria Ellis, who lives both in Canada and Australia, began her studies in the healing arts over 25 years ago. As a true master of her craft, she weaves the philosophies of ancient Chinese Acupressure, Energy Healing, Intuitive Coaching and Qi Gong Techniques into her personal life and that of her clients. Her journey began at the age of 14 and she began her professional practice in Sydney Australia in 2006.
Over the past 10 years, Adria has been working as a full time acupressure therapist, specialising in energy healing, inner guidance and intuitive coaching techniques. Her practice is an integration of techniques she has acquired from years of tuition by a variety of honoured teachers. Her ‘Fusion healing’ method includes principles of transpersonal psychology, ancient taoist wisdom and somatic therapy.
Adria has worked extensively with clients moving through physical pain, tension, sexual abuse, pregnancy loss, grief, depression and relationship conflict. Her life has been a journey echoing similar loss, fears and struggle and she brings compassion and strength to her work, encouraging empowerment and an opportunity to return to love, peace and wholeness.
Adria’s qualifications include a BsSc major in Anthropology and Social Science, Registration with the International Institute of Complementary Therapists (IICT), Registration as Fusion Acupressure Therapist and Director, Medical Qi Gong Practitioner, Advanced Psych-K®, and a Massage Certification.

A yoga school run by trainees
I enjoyed my three day stay at Krishna Farm. The accommodation was basic but clean and the food was ok.
I was a little surprised that there were only 1 or 2 qualified yoga teachers taking the occasional class. Most of the classes were being taught by yoga teacher trainees which is the main program that was running at Krishna Farm while I was there.

Peaceful and rejuvenating
My stay at Krishna village was incredibly restorative.
The village is so peaceful and the food is amazing. It’s lovely to be around kind gentle slow paced folk who seem to genuinely be interested and caring toward others.
The cabin was clean and adequate.
The yoga sessions were great. With some exceptional teachers. Drama’s sessions were gentle tho strong. Her guidance was clear with just the right level of information. Having Pearl provide the Acknowledgement To Country’ was great (and would have been lovely in all sessions actually).
Thank you to everyone at Krishna village including the lovely volunteers.
