Why Is Somatic Life Coaching So Important?

  • Shows you HOW to bridge the gap between the body, mind, heart and spirit
  • Sets the stage and prepares you for hands-on myofascial release work
  • Frees up energy for more creativity, abundance and joy
  • Heals on all levels - personal, professional, physical, spiritual and emotional

How Does it Work?

Emotions are Felt and Stored in the Body ...

All emotions are felt in the body on some level. It could be a clenching or tightening feeling when you're angry, butterflies in your stomach when you're anxious, or a warm, expansive feeling when you're happy.


Our bodies are constantly giving us information about how we feel. However, when we ignore these messages or numb our feelings, the emotions do not get fully processed and can get trapped in the body as chronic pain, tension or dysfunction. In fact, 70% of chronic pain can be linked to unresolved emotional pain.

... And Can be Transformed and Released Through the Body

Are you ready to be the best version of yourself and enjoy your life to the fullest?

Listening to the wisdom of the body is essential for deep, authentic and long lasting healing. The wisdom of the body is incredibly vast - in fact, our subconscious mind, the part that is connected directly to our inner body wisdom, processes 10 million times as much information as our conscious mind!


So when you listen deeply inside, the healing process becomes incredibly powerful. Old, subconscious patterns and self-limiting beliefs come to the surface to be released and transformed. And the best part is - when you release those old patterns, you free up all the energy you were using to maintain them. That unleashes a huge amount of energy you can then use towards creating the life you really want, both personally and professionally!

  • You are ready to go beyond mere intellectual understanding and learn HOW!


What People Are Saying About Somatic Life Coaching ...

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.


~Julie, age 48

I recently spent time with Elena in a newer part of her practice, the Somatic Life Coach sessions.  This was completely different than anything else I have ever experienced, and while the concept was completely foreign to me, Elena has a way of presenting comfort with the process that allowed me to concentrate on what my own experience is.

This "body work" takes mindfulness of my own body to a completely new level. I can now see exactly what is happening with me subconsciously at any given moment so I can make conscious decisions to feel, embrace and change where I am.

For me,
It takes practice.
It takes courage.
It takes patience.

And most of all, I'm worth every bit of the effort!


~ J. Theriault, age 64

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.

~Mary G, age 53
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 sessions 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.

~Allison, age 32

Elena is very perceptive. Her warmth and presence allow for a lot of powerful healing. Her body work experience supports her coaching even in distance work through inquisitive movement practices that helped me with personal transformation. I highly recommend her work.


~Shay M, age 56

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! She really helps me get into it with her infectious enthusiasm and presence.


One of the things I love the most about her is her voice. Peaceful, melodious and reassuring – her voice is like a safe nest, and I feel I can 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, going wherever we need to go.


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 breathwork, 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.


~anonymous, age 45

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. 


~Chad Wright, age 49

Elena is an amazing, kind, compassionate therapist. She also has a natural intuitive ability. In just three sessions Elena was able to lead me through and clear blocks that had been with me a very long time. She is a very gifted therapist.
