The creation of a peaceful, respectful, compassionate world for all comes through love, co-creativity and the application of spiritual wisdom.

Ellen’s Childhood
Ellen was a sensitive, intuitive child who remembers her birth and saw an angel when she was three. Her mother says that she rarely slept and for only short periods. She remembers being taught the healing properties of crystals by the angels around that age at night. Ellen asked and chose to go to church (even though her parents were not church-goers and she had no religious materials around her) when she was 5. She had memorized all the stories in the children’s Bible by the time she was 6. She asked for and was given an adult Bible by her Buddhist grandmother and aunt for her 7th birthday which she proceeded to read from cover to cover. She always had a deep knowing about the spiritual dimension of life. Ellen wrote her first novel about pioneers at about that time. She was writing petitions about environmental issues and poems about pollution at 7, also read Rachel Carson’s work, Silent Spring and became an avid environmentalist by the age of 12 working as a full-time volunteer in the summers at Pollution Probe at the University of Toronto. At 12, she started babysitting a 3 week old – which started her lifelong interest in child development. Ellen loved learning about the native people of her country as well as their culture and traditions. She saved money from her paper route and babysitting to fund her first camping trip which was paddling 300 miles down a wilderness river into James Bay in northern Ontario. This started her on a lifelong love affair with the wilderness and experiencing the wilderness by self-propelled travel in canoes, kayaks and by hiking.
Ellen was motivated by her passions and enthusiasm for life and learning. Ellen was always the “different” child in school and in her family. She had the grace of having supportive parents and teachers who loved and encouraged her through her whole life to follow her heart and intuition and to fulfil her full potential. As she constantly works on fufilling her own potential by pioneering and teaching content in new fields of human consciousness. Her childhood was one key in preparing her for her work with children, youth, and their supporters on developing spiritual wisdom.
Ellen is an Inspired Teacher of Children, Youth, Parents and Grandparents
Ellen Hayakawa was a professional wildlife biologist with the Canadian Wildlife Service in the early stages of her career. Today, she brings together science and spirituality, head and heart, the mystical and the practical. She teaches the application of spiritual principles in life through writing, speaking, coaching and conducting workshops. As a teacher, she is also taught by all the children, youth, parents and family members and friends with whom she works …and she is very grateful for this.
Early on, Ellen was aware of her telepathic gifts. Through the years, she realized that her main gift is intuition and that she also has psychic gifts of clairaudience, clairvoyance, clairsentience and visionary prophesy and that much work is done with her during the dreamtime. As a teacher, she brings both her her own spiritual wisdom and gifts to the space that she holds for children and youth and adults.
Just as she was one of the pioneers and visionaries of environmental sustainability in the early 70’s, and conservation and protection in the 80’s, spirituality in the workplace in the 90’s, she envisions that the work of this decade is for individuals and the collective to deepen their spiritual journeys and with that naturally comes the expansion of psychic and intuitive gifts. To not acknowledge these, be in denial or to discount them would be to miss out on a multidimensional side of life that may ultimately save us from our own self-destruction and the destruction of the planet.
Just as the fear around the word “spirituality” in the workplace needed to be diffused in the 1990’s, the fear and negative connotations around the word psychic needs to be diffused in the 2000’s . The health and welfare of children both now and in the future are at stake as many of them are being given pharmaceutical drugs for so-called disorders such as ADD, ADHD, Asperger’s Syndrome and others. There are many who would benefit from alternative solutions that would enhance their energies, rather than dampen down and suppress their energy and psychic gifts (which can also be called multidimensional ways of knowing and learning. )
Honouring Each Child’s Gifts and the Depths of His or Her Soul
When parents, educators or health professionals know that they have or are working with a child who is “different”, “very creative”, “gifted”, “sees angels or people who have passed over” and at times is struggling with life and living, they come to Ellen for tools of compassionate support and understanding. Ellen only coaches children and youth who make a conscious choice to come to her for support and whose parents or family members will be coached by her at the same time. It is the way that understanding and transformation happen in a family. Ellen sees and acknowledges the depth of each child or youth’s soul and and helps each child/youth to honour their own soul and their gifts including psychic, intuitive and healing abilities. She also holds a safe space for a child or youth to delve into their emotional pain or whatever is causing them to struggle, draw on their spiritual wisdom and use that to self-heal.
Ellen works with parents and other family members to understand how and why their child or youth is reflecting unresolved emotional pain and healing in themselves and to draw on their innate wisdom to self-heal. Healing brings transformation in behaviours. Healing brings peace of mind and peace of heart, better emotional and physical health as well as personal freedom to be more of whom the child or family members came here to be.
Unique and Supportive Tools and Processes
Through the exploration and development of her own psychic, intuitive and healing gifts as well as through her support of others, Ellen Hayakawa has developed unique tools and processes for children, youth and families to bring forth their spiritual wisdom including psychic, intuitive and healing abilities. Having experienced variations of what the children are experiencing, she is acutely aware of their sensitivities and holds a compassionate, gentle, safe space where a child feels honoured and nurtured. She feels blessed and honoured to work with children and youth and their families in dedicated service to Spirit and for the establishment of global peace.
