Welcome to NEW

Hello everyone! I’m Nila Ellison, a proud native of Flint, Michigan. Presently, I am a certified sound healer, yoga instructor, grief guide, and hospice nurse practitioner based in Detroit.

Over 19 years ago, I endured the heartbreaking loss of my mother and my best friend, who passed away just three months apart. These profound losses led me into a lifestyle marked by poor mental, emotional, and physical health. I grappled with complicated grief, depression, self-medication, and suicidal thoughts for years. Everything changed when I discovered the sacred practices of yoga and the transformative power of crystal alchemy sound healing.

My wellness journey began nearly nine years ago when I was introduced to yoga. This practice opened my heart and mind, allowing me to embrace a more holistic and healthy lifestyle. It also served as the gateway to another life-changing practice: sound healing.

This path inspired me to establish Nila Ellison Wellness, LLC, also known as NEW. The mission of NEW is to guide and support individuals seeking to cultivate an integrated wellness lifestyle that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit. I am dedicated to sharing the practices that have profoundly impacted my healing journey and transformed my life.

As a certified crystal alchemy sound healer, I completed an intensive certification program that included creating professional live and virtual sound healing meditations, music theory, core embodiment practices, and pranayama techniques. Additionally, I hold a 200-hour certification in Hatha yoga and a 50-hour certification in Yin yoga. I particularly enjoy designing customized sound healing and yoga sessions for corporate or small group wellness events, focusing on everything from team building to relaxation.

I have had the privilege of being a guest speaker and guide, sharing my expertise in yoga, sound healing, and wellness at Michigan State University in Lansing, WXYZ-Detroit, Renaissance Unity, Distinct Life Brands, and various yoga studios throughout the Detroit metro area.

I am committed to sharing the sacred teachings of sound healing and yoga in diverse settings. Currently, I offer 1:1 wellness sessions, corporate wellness programs, and small private group sessions. I also provide guidance on various aspects of holistic health, including meditation, self-love practices, and navigating loss and grief.

My number #1 priority is to create a safe inclusive space for all those seeking guidance to improve their overall mental and physical wellbeing.
