Whole Healing Myofascial Release and Somatic Life Coaching

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 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 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. Im so grateful for her help and cant recommend her highly enough. If youre hurting and are not sure why, call her today.

Elena is a conscious, patient listener and takes time to carefully consider before responding or offering her opinion. She draws on a wide range of experience and learning along with strong intuition and body-centered knowing. I love how she is able to both be compassionate and direct, realistic and kind, grounded and expansive. In our time together I never feel rushed and nothing is too small to be overlooked nor too big to be acknowledged and addressed with kindness. She is very perceptive too- often she sees patterns and underlying issues that I would have never thought to consider, and she has helped me greatly on my journey towards greater self-awareness, well-being, and healing.

I have lupus and a history of multiple abdominal surgeries. Joint and adhesion pain have been constants most of my life. While on vacation, as part of engaging in some much-needed self-care, I received a treatment from Elena. She began the session with education about MFR, fascia and a discussion about my concerns. Through our session, she provided not only competent and intuitive hands on body work, but also discussed how to effectively use a foam roller and ball for continued practice when I got home. My session with Elena inspired me to connect with a MFR practitioner in my home town, where I continued to progress in treating my pain. When COVID-19 surfaced, I was no longer able to see my local practitioner. Luckily, Elena is now providing virtual coaching sessions. I have been able to continue in my journey of healing despite the limitations created by COVID-19. I have learned new unwinding techniques and we have had further discussion in the use of the foam roller and ball. One of the things I appreciate most about my sessions with Elena is her passion for MFR and her commitment to education in the field of MFR. She is a wealth of information and applies her knowledge to create a personalized experience for her clients. A session with Elena leaves you feeling like youre not just another client, but someone whose concerns she has seriously considered and is invested in helping remedy.
