the person behind the practice
Before becoming a somatic practitioner nearly 20 years ago, I spent years in the worlds of dance, writing, and meditation.
Those threads now meet in the sessions and workshops I offer.
“Thanks to her very accurate and precise guidance, I felt supported and empowered to move forward toward well-being. My body was deeply relaxed right after our session – a great inner peace.”
~ Nathalie
“Not only did sessions with Elaine help me heal in ways that no other therapy had, but I also very much appreciated their underlying philosophy: the idea was not to ‘go and see someone who would heal me,’ but that it would be a ‘joint journeying.’”
~ Nadine
“I breathe more fully, have much more energy than before, and can now identify my needlessly tense postures. I gained a lot of self-confidence, and the ability to handle situations differently.”
~ Maël
“After a year of healing a shattered ankle through traditional methods, it took just one session with Elaine to reduce my inflammation and pain and restore mobility more than anything I had put into practice before.”
~ Matt
