Whole Healing Myofascial Release and Somatic Life Coaching

I value Elena's willingness to explore and discover together, willing to go into whatever is wanting and needing to be learned. Coaching with her is like going on an exciting, emotional adventure - it can be hilarious and we have a great time!

One of the things I love the most about her is her voice. Peaceful, melodious and reassuring – her voice is like a safe nest - I rest safely in the melody of it. She is also really spontaneous and can spot a new direction or something subtle and hidden that wants to be uncovered, and she's not afraid to go there.

Recently I was exploring a part of me I called 'bad girl'. I had viewed her as the defiant part of me, that was selfish, and did what she wanted. Elena, through breathing, movement and facing the fear, helped me arrive at the natural insight that 'bad girl' does this to protect me and put boundaries up to be treated respectfully. She was a less feminine part of me I had felt wasn't OK to express - I had internalised the message as a child that 'good girls don't express anger'. I've realised she's a much needed part of me to help me achieve wholeness. I renamed her 'powerful girl' and appreciate having her in my life.

I enjoy deep listening, calm holding, a boldness to enter unknown territory, have fun and laugh with Elena.

I met Elena at a myofascial release seminar. I have found her to be an excellent therapist from our interactions there and since.

Between her innate intelligence, excellent communication skills, prior experience helping clients with pain and trauma via her myofascial release background and her intuition, Elena has excelled as a somatic life coach like a fish being dropped into a flowing river. And being a professional dancer and boxing coach myself, I also believe that Elena's experience with partner dance and martial arts has honed her abilities.

As she facilitated for me, she made astute observations, asked pointed questions, and gave creative suggestions. Elena has planted seeds a number of times that have helped me access insights that I had not been able to gain on my own. Her coaching has had a very significant and positive impact on my life. I highly recommend her for MFR, somatic coaching, or any combination thereof.

I met with Elena during the pandemic when I was feeling disconnected and battling anxiety. Over zoom, she was able to better connect me with my body through somatic life coaching, thus deepening my yoga and meditation practice. I’m so grateful for her help and can’t recommend her highly enough. If you’re hurting and are not sure why, call her today.

Through the Somatic Life Coach sessions Elena has taught me to connect into my body and restore flow and essence. With her guidance I know more about myself and am much more aware of the sensations in my body. I've learned to use my body as a guide as opposed to using cultural pressures as a guide. I'm now making decisions from my true self rather than my persona.

I've been able to instantly calm myself down during stressful situations. No longer am I getting stuck in the stress mode of fight, flight or freeze. With simple techniques I can now release tension and shake it off just as naturally as children and animals do. My relationships with my loved ones have improved through learning to direct my attention and positive energy.

With the tools I've received under Elena's gentle guidance and wisdom, I feel ready and capable of facing any challenges presented while walking the path to my genuine self.

Elena is incredible. She is very welcoming and always made me feel comfortable. After meeting with her various times I can say that I've gained a lot of knowledge about my body and where my emotional stress is stored, as well as ways to correct my posture and reduce the tension in my body. I feel renewed whenever I leave her office! She also gave me a myofascial release ball to take home, and we talk about the various self release and relaxation techniques I could do at home to maintain if I want. I will definitely keep coming back :)
