It is with great sadness that we share the sudden and unexpected passing of Marion J. Ellis on July 18, 2021 at her home. It was her heart.
Marion was a beautiful, generous, and gifted woman who continually strived to help others have greater peace, enlightenment, self-acceptance and love.
Marion was born in Brantford, Ontario to her parents, Normand & Marion B. Ellis, she was the oldest of two children. She spent her childhood years in the Brantford area, enjoying (and well-known for) her proficiency in competitive dressage, tennis and water-skiing. Her summers were often at the family cottage on the lake, reinforcing Marion’s deep love for water and nature. During her high school years, Marion had access to her Dad’s car and had many memorable adventures with her packed-to-the-gills car full of highschool girlfriends.
Marion became a Registered Nurse in 1970 and worked in Intensive Care until 1980. She then obtained her Bachelor of Social Work from Western University and went on to help many children with cancer, and became a Certified Body Mind Consciousness Practitioner. Marion obtained her Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology from the University of Victoria. Her Master’s thesis was on the relationship between emotional/ mental causes and physical dis-ease manifesting within the body. She was a Registered Clinical Counsellor and member of the BCACC.
Marion was a well-established, internationally respected Certified Bioenergetics & Somatic Psychotherapist (international designation) operating within her Victoria based professional psychotherapy practice for approx. forty-four years. She was a supervisor and trainer of Somatic (body) Psychotherapy. Marion provided a somatic and spiritual approach to transforming dis-ease, maximizing health, recovery and potential. She worked with shock and repetitive behaviours and thoughts as well as spiritual emergency and transformational crisis. Marion is internationally known and respected as a leading edge visionary of transmutational/ transformational research in the area of spirituality and bioenergetics through her Transmutational Research Inc. corporation.
Marion operated her Certified Bioenergetics & Somatic Psychotherapy professional practice (and her transmutational/ transformational research) from her beautiful Victoria home residence for thirty-four years, incorporating spirituality into her private practice with clients. Within this welcoming and relaxed private professional ambiance, Marion never tired of helping people and could reach into the darkest and hardest places and help her clients move through them.
Marion leaves behind her brother Robert Ellis, her close and longest known friend from early elementary Marie Sawick (Bob Maludzinski), her cherished former partner Amey Lariviere and family Jenny (Todd), Taleea (Dix), Annalise (Mitchel), her ‘Bestest’ friend Dee Andrews (Greg Irvine), her family of long-time close friends Henry Wilting & Hannah (recently deceased) and Evelyn Andrews-Greene (Executor). Marion also leaves behind her many deeply cherished clients.
Marion’s devotion to her clients and families have touched so many. Her door and heart were always open and we miss the warmth and beauty of her love. May all the love, wisdom and light she gave return to her tenfold. Thank you, Marion.
An invitation-only Celebration of Life is being planned for within the next three to four weeks.
