Ernest Ellender

Ernest Ellender worked in the fields of psychology, life coaching, and martial arts for over 25 years before authoring his first book entitled “This Is How We Heal From Painful Childhoods”. His advanced martial arts training (BJJ black belt) combined with his doctorate in clinical psychology to produce an empowering skills-building curriculum which he delivered to local clients in south Louisiana. The rich heritage of Louisiana's Cajun communities celebrates family life and a close connection to the land (hunting, fishing, farming, food), and includes a long history of cultural traumas that persist today. This offered fertile grounds for refining the healing-from-childhood curriculum before offering it to the world in his new book. Nowadays, Ernest spends his leisure time enjoying the wonderful Cajun cuisine, marshlands, beaches, and local microbreweries of south Louisiana with his family and friends.
