If you’re ready to stop feeling overwhelmed by the waves of life and instead discover more fun, ease, and meaning in the midst of them — you’re in the right place.
Because life will always bring the waves.
Not to drown you, but to awaken you — to your strength, your joy, and the divine current that’s been carrying you all along.
I know what it’s like to be knocked off your feet by life.
I became a widow young, with a heart that thought it might never heal.
But the Universe had other plans for me:
to teach me joy that could survive anything,
peace that didn’t depend on circumstance,
and partnership with the divine that turns pain into purpose.
This is your spiritual training ground — the place where every challenge, heartbreak, or plot twist becomes an invitation to glow brighter, to be a force for good, and to become God’s boots on the ground.
You’re not just surviving anymore.
You’re remembering who you are—
a conscious co-creator, leading a quiet revolution of light from the inside out.
Ready to feel that unshakable joy for yourself? The light’s already in you — let’s wake it up.
Activate My Joy
I help you turn life’s challenges into light — to remember your power, raise your vibration, and light up the world from the inside out.
Through speaking, coaching, books, meditations, music, and heart-led community, I blend evidence-based tools with spiritual truth to help you master your mind, open your heart, and live as the powerful creator you came here to be.
Stories, straight-talk, and humor help you embody it all — so the light you feel isn’t just fleeting; it’s wired into your body, your mindset, and your daily life.

Hi. I'm Ellie,
your # 1 fan & the springboard for your evolution.
Imagine a combination of Tony Robbins' fire, Brene Brown's compassion, the timeless wisdom of A Course in Miracles, and throw in a dash of Mel Robbins' no-nonsense practicality. That's me.
Plus 100% belief that you are an extraordinary gift to the planet, even if you don't know it yet.
I blend brain science with spirituality, laughter with liberation, and grounded tools with divine downloads — because enlightenment shouldn’t feel like homework.
I'll remember you are magic even when you forget. I’ll call out your ego with love, hold your truths with compassion, remind you that your joy serves everyone, and hand you simple, sticky practices that help you shift from playing small to remembering you ARE the light the world needs.
Around here, we don’t just talk about the light — we raise our frequency so we can live it.

The Luminosa Playground
Established in 2019, this isn’t just a Facebook group — it’s a living frequency field where laughter, love, and light collide.
Every weekday morning, we gather for the Good Morning, Luminosa ritual — 20-30 minutes of gratitude, laughter, divine guidance, and grounded joy. It’s free, real, and heart-led — a community that lifts your vibration just by being in it. Come be there LIVE or catch the replay. It will change your day, and possibly your life.
Participants call it “the best reason to be on Facebook.”
I call it home. 💛

Invite Ellie to speak
Ellie doesn't just speak. She shifts energy.
She has a way of mixing profound truth with practical tools, and then making them land — in the mind, the heart, and the nervous system.
WIth her signature blend of humor, storytelling, neuroscience and heart, she moves audiences from laughter to goosebumps to rethinking their entire life in 20 minutes.
Ellie engages the audience from the get go with her realness and honesty. She shows people how to turn challenges into opportunities, rewire their brains for peace, and remember who they really are: light in motion.
Her audiences don’t just listen — they shift into a new gear, leaving profoundly alive, grounded, and ready to lead their own revolution of light. They ripple that energy into their workplaces, leadership, families, and the world.
From TEDx stages to retreats and leadership events, Ellie reminds every listener that the quality of their lives is not based on the events of their lives, but on who they choose to become in the face of them.

Diamonds of Light is where that happens.
We have a weekly joy-fueled activation + no-BS coaching call where I help you break the chains of limiting beliefs, crank your frequency up to the level of magic, and actually live as your Luminosa — the bright-as-anything, unstoppable version of you that the Universe has been begging to see.

Study A Course in Miracles LIVE with Ellie
One of the most powerful spiritual curriculums on earth — made real, understandable, practical and fun with me (Ellie) – and a community by your side.
This is spiritual awakening on steroids!
Here’s what makes this different:
✨ Real-time coaching & interaction — These aren’t recordings. I’m LIVE in our own private Facebook group every day (365 days!), reading and explaining the day’s lesson, answering your questions, coaching you as you comment, and making sure it lands in your bones.
What you'll experience:
✔️ Clarity instead of confusion.
✔️ Daily practices that actually stick.
✔️ Real-time answers when you hit a wall.
✔️ A community that lifts you up (no judging).
✔️ Transformation that moves off the page and into your real life.
"Her classes will rock your world!"
The amazing thing that Ellie does is work on a level that is a higher conscious type of living. She creates and crafts her own curriculum, pulling in science, mind, heart, and body. This allowed me to traverse and navigate layers that I couldn’t do on my own. I do a lot of personal development myself but nobody before her could really help me break through.
She helped me to feel safe, held space for me and showed me how to hold space for myself.
She gave me all these tools to be able to break through the layers that have been ingrained in me since childhood. Her classes will rock your world!

Join the Joy Tour
Let's fuel the light + spark the change
An international journey of joy, light, and human connection — through workshops, music, and The Joy Spiral Playbook.
Bring your stress, your worries, your yoga pants, your broken heart — all of it is welcome here.
What if joy isn’t something we wait around for?
What if it’s something we activate?
The Joy Tour is where we remember how to feel good again. Not someday. Not when life gets easier. But now, through presence, connection, stories, and strategies that work.
Joy isn’t fluff.
It’s high-octane fuel for your Higher Self — fuel to navigate what’s hard and return to center.
Fuel to remember that you are the change the world is waiting for.
I’m coming to your town (yes, in real life!) to reconnect, reset, and bring the kind of joy that doesn’t bypass reality — it shifts it.
Come laugh.
Come breathe.
Cry if you need to.
And leave lit up in all the right ways.
I’m Ellie Bassick-Trovato — international speaker, author of The Joy Spiral Playbook, and creator of The New Brave. I’m traveling city by city to meet YOU, lead transformational workshops, and share the life-changing messages from my book.
Join me as we fuel the light and spark the change — within ourselves, our communities, and our world.
