"Ellen shared a 3-hour interactive workshop of daily practices and inspiration for reducing stress, living happy and growing younger - gift wrapped in lots of humor and stories that made us cry. I loved seeing the crowd up dancing and laughing, shouting "I am magnificent!" Absolutely delightful...and well deserving of the standing ovation she received."

"Ellen spoke at our annual General Staff Meeting and shared 7 Mind Body Spirit Habits that transformed her life. Our group of 200+ people enjoyed her presentation immensely and came away with new ideas to help them have a better view of life and an improved attitude in spite of life’s challenges. A great speaker, whom I highly recommend!"

"I asked Ellen to come speak at a local nonprofit in Portland, Oregon for youth who have suffered from alcohol and drug addiction. Although she is very busy and booked throughout the year she was able to find time in her schedule to make it out. We had a wide variety of people in our space who were all drawn to her presentation. I was a bit concerned at first that the kids wouldn't be listening or paying attention, but Ellen was able to capture a group of young adults' attention and transform the room into a very interactive audience. Ellen was able to work a tough crowd of young individuals who all came to me after and expressed their interest in Ellen's presentation and practices. WE LOVE ELLEN!"

"Our diverse audience was captivated for an hour and a half while Ellen Wood gave her presentation, 7 Habits for Less Stress and More Fun. With humor and directness she guided us through simple daily practices that inspire us to live the Life we dream of. She addresses the whole person: mind, body and spirit. Ellen is a pioneer, purposely creating her life, even such things as growing younger and reversing early Alzheimer's. She gifts us with the knowledge, through her own experience, that we can change what we thought was impossible, into the possible. Everyone in attendance left feeling lighter, brighter and inspired! Thank you, Ellen!"

"I have been receiving positive feedback on Ellen Wood's presentation on "Seven Ways to Beat the Blues" from parents who attended our community event where she was the keynote speaker. Positive parental feedback can be hard won and is something we greatly value here in the New Mexico public schools. Our event was designed to tackle the difficult subject of depression and suicide and Ellen did so in a way that was empowering, uplifting, and offered tangible strategies. I have posted Ellen's handout on my office door and feel confident that her words will continue to benefit and inspire."
Greta Carson, LCPP, NCC, LSC

"I run a lecture series which focuses on healing, spirituality and paradigm shifting. I found out about Ellen Wood's book, "The Secret Method for Growing Younger" on the internet and subsequently invited her to speak for us. An enthusiastic crowd delighted in her dynamic presentation. The context into which Ms. Wood placed the concept of aging was beguiling and transformative – and perhaps most of all – life-affirming. As a speaker she was upbeat, passionate and inspiring. Everyone who attended greatly enjoyed this unique offering and went home with a new perspective that was invaluable."

"Ellen Wood so inspired an audience of 75 workshop attendees at our 30th Annual NM Conference on Aging and was so well received that we have invited her to give the keynote address to a larger group of seniors and the professionals who work with them at our winter Aging Network Training event. Conference on Aging attendees, through their written evaluations, described Ms. Wood as up-lifting, re-energizing and positive! Ms. Wood is a very entertaining and engaging speaker who would be an asset to any organization."
