Hayley Ellison: Connected

Name: Hayley Ellison

Occupation: Model, Actor, Musician, Massage Therapist, and Teacher.  

Current city: Philadelphia.

Born and raised there or imported? Imported.

What is your connection to your current city? I moved to Glenside, PA right after high school. After attending for two semesters at Arcadia University, I decided to leave college! At Arcadia, I had the opportunity to play the role of Madge in William Inge’s “Picnic”. Following my departure of college, I attended massage therapy school and moved to Philly. I began modeling and acting professionally! I am represented by Vie Model and Talent Agency. I enjoy Philadelphia for its integrated communities and accessibility. We are proximate to many major city hubs while also existing in our own world. I’ve found “home” through community and my relationships here!

What’s your favorite restaurant? Her Place Supper Club.

Best place to shop? Nino Brand in East Falls, Naaz in Fishtown and Circle Thrift.

What is your one favorite “best kept secret” about your city? This city fosters some of the most dedicated artists in the world. Our tight kit artistic community is essential. Plus we have some of the yummiest restaurants ever!

What is something that Hayley Ellison and only a few others know about but everyone should? Emotions need to be felt to move. E, motion… Energy in motion. It’s meant to move and be felt. Emotion is related to expectation which shapes our world! It’s a constant feedback loop of what we process, put out, and how deeply we can spiral into all that. Over and over again. 

What makes your city, your city? What does Hayley Ellison absolutely love about it? The people. It’s grit. While still offering areas of nature and an immense feeling of home.
