About
El Davies
El was diagnosed with dyslexia, the same age she came to faith at age seven.
Written off by many teachers in the early stages of her educational life. Her parents were told that El wouldn't amount to much and not to expect she would pass her GCSE's.
El, having dyslexia and auditory processing disorder (a difficulty in how the ear processes sound) made school difficult.
But thanks to a couple of teachers who believed in El and her potential, she started to thrive, determining that she would prove her critics wrong - and she did!
​
Fast forward a few years... El sadly became a victim of domestic abuse, this was traumatic and life shattering. (If you would like to hear more about her journey from abuse to freedom, check out her book "Reclaiming Resilience Elsa's Story - Freedom from Domestic Abuse."
​
As you can imagine, going through domestic abuse impacted every part of her life. Her confidence hit rock bottom, she battled with depression and suicidal ideation.
El's faith was challenged. Struggling to understand why someone who said they loved her would commit such horrendous crimes against her.
El never lost her faith though she found it extremely hard to feel connected to God during that time. But, with a friend's help she realised that though she didn't feel like lively praise and worship, she was in fact connecting with God through her repetition of the doxology and the verse in Philippians "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
El escaped the abuse and slowly recovered and found healing for the trauma abuse had inflicted upon her.
During recovery a counsellor prompted El to try massage therapy to help her feel ok with physical touch, mindfulness helped her to quieten intrusive thoughts and flashbacks and life coaching helped El to regain her confidence, purpose and zest for life. Being so impacted by these therapies, she trained in them so that she could offer a safe and caring place for all.
This has led to starting Activate, a place to find purpose and well-being. A place for those of faith and those without faith to find care, purpose and wellbeing.
​
El has various theology qualifications including Bachelor in Theology, Diploma in Practical Theology and Certificates in Contextual Theology and Ministry. She became a non-denominational minister 1999 and El started preaching in 1995.
​
El is passionate about sharing her faith, and facilitating personal growth and healing through wellbeing therapies.
