Hey friend, I’m Ellie

My hope for this page is to create a space to be honest about having a relationship with Jesus, and navigating life, health, and health care. I have been a registered nurse since 2019. Even with extensive training and experience in the medical field I feel the overwhelm. What should I be doing? Who should I trust? How will I ever have time for that? Is it too expensive? Why is this even important? And oh yea, what does God have to say? (By the way, this should definitely be our FIRST question). Journeying through these muddy waters and walking with others through their own journeys has become a passion of mine. I am so glad you’re here for the ride.

More about Ellie

I was born and raised in the “famously hot” Columbia, SC. I live here now (on the same street I grew up) with my husband Cagney, my dog Birdie, and my cat Gracie.

That first sip of coffee with a little bit of creamer is one of the best gifts God gives.

I went to Charleston Southern University for my Bachelors of Science in Nursing, Go Bucs!

Favorite book at the moment: The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer

I studied with the Institute of Integrative Nutrition to be a Health Coach.

Beaches or mountains? Definitely lake… you can get the water and the mountains all in one.

The best thing to do is eat a good meal with good people.
