In over 500 hours of self-exploration across various healing methods, it was my own body that helped me the most. I talked so much, understood so much, and gained so many insights, yet little truly changed—until I began to feel deeply, in a safe and supported space.
Through my own journey and my work with over 80 clients, I now know: the path to healing runs through the body. When we allow ourselves to be present with all our sensations, we can integrate old, painful experiences and come home to ourselves.
In my 1:1 sessions, I support you on this journey—with my deep love for this work, my extensive knowledge from hundreds of training hours, my intuition, and perhaps my most important gift: the ability to truly feel you.
Together, we create a safe space for you to reconnect with yourself and feel at home within your body.
There is no path to the body.
The body is the path.

Why SOMATIC?
Accompanying you with kindness and compassion through your life is the core of my work. Being gentle with yourself is the foundation for feeling safe and free, and for shaping your life the way you truly desire.
One key ability is essential for this: the capacity to feel yourself. Our bodies hold the memories that have directed our lives up to this point. Truly perceiving yourself and your body in its subtle states also means recognizing your inner truth. Our bodies communicate with us 24/7, but often we’ve forgotten how to really listen, sense, and observe.
SOMATIC GUIDANCE MEANS:
understanding your reasons
perceiving yourself from within
learning your inner language
developing a compassionate attitude
exploring posture and sensations
shifting energy in your body
feeling emotions without becoming them
moving your body gently
feeling at home within yourself
The healing aspect of my approach lies in the fact that you don’t need to relive all your past experiences. That’s often overwhelming and can be re-traumatizing. Instead, we explore how your past experiences manifest within you today. They shape your thoughts, your body, your posture, and your emotions—until you become aware of them on all levels.
Then, you can begin to integrate the old, create space for new experiences in the present, and finally witness the changes you’ve been longing for.
From BEING SHAPED to I SHAPE MYSELF
From LIFE LIVING ME to I CREATE MY LIFE
From HELPLESSNESS to EMPOWERMENT
From REJECTION to CONNECTION & BELONGING

What others say about me
Elena was wonderfully present and guided us with such warmth. She created a safe space for both the group sessions and individual sessions, allowing us to let go and fully engage in the exercises. I experienced many ‘aha’ moments, and the process was incredibly helpful for me.
Sylvia
Elena’s wonderful nature, combined with her professional expertise, guided me through my reflections. She helped me organize my thoughts and systematically work through them, enabling me to make decisions. Together with her, I learned how to stay close to myself. Her remarkable approach and her understanding of systematic perspectives allowed me to grasp what truly matters in my life and to develop a sense of my quality of life. Thank you for everything.
Malene
The sessions with Elena deeply touched me and brought me closer to myself in my personal growth. Her warm and loving nature allowed me to approach myself with kindness as well. In Elena’s presence, I feel safe and seen. Through her compassionate and non-judgmental guidance, along with various relaxing techniques, I was able to truly connect with myself, feel my emotions, and recognize and release deeply rooted, blocking issues. What I also really appreciated was that Elena taught me techniques I can use daily to strengthen myself and stay grounded. All of this has brought about a true shift in my awareness and a new perspective on my life. For this, I am deeply grateful to Elena!
Silke Debler
Elena is a highly competent, kind, and empathetic woman and coach. She always had an open ear for me and never fed me the answers. Instead, through her skillfully posed questions, I was able to arrive at my own insights and answers. After each session, I felt uplifted and positive.
In our busy and often stressful daily lives, we tend to forget to pause, take a deep breath, and connect with ourselves. Engaging with oneself is immensely important for personal growth, and I could feel that during and even after our conversations. With Elena as my coach, I felt warmly welcomed and supported.
Her methods and exercises played a significant role in my personal realizations. I now know more about myself, and I can only recommend this feeling to everyone. With Elena, you are in the best hands!
Lina
The coaching with Elena was incredibly helpful for me. I learned a lot about myself and gained inner strength! Elena was very empathetic, non-judgmental, and understanding. I felt truly supported and in great hands with her, and I can wholeheartedly recommend her. Thank you for the wonderful support!
Anne Prüfer
Thank you so much for your wonderful mental and physical work and the support I was able to experience with you. You showed me how to reconnect with myself and realize that everything is possible within me. I am infinitely grateful for your guidance and the beautiful experiences I had in your sessions. I can only recommend that everyone have this experience with you.
Isa
I came to Elena with the issue of anger. At times, I would suddenly become uncontrollably angry without any apparent reason, and afterward, I would feel terrible. Elena helped me with her loving and empathetic approach. I felt understood and was able to open up to her. When I couldn’t find the words, she always knew exactly what to say. She helped me uncover the root cause of my anger and recognize my boundaries, expectations, and needs. Through the coaching with Elena, I learned to express my emotions, which now helps me feel, think, and act with more calmness and clarity. Dear Elena, your coaching was so healing for my soul. Even though I’m now on a great path, I know I’ll miss this time with you. Thank you so much!
