Services

Somatic Healing

Improve your life and alignment through personalized somatic, energetic techniques. You will learn to connect to the powerful healing capacity naturally stored within your body. You will be guided toward a more balanced and graceful way of processing past pain and moving towards a way of being with a greater sense of purpose and well-being.

Doula

Understanding the birthing process allows for a deeper awareness of the body to explore the emotional connection between parent and child. Discover the physical, spiritual and emotional healing associated with the genetic bond of parent and child. Working with women to release feelings of fear, shame and stored trauma allows for a healing and harmonious pregnancy and birth experience.

Herbalist

As an herbalist, I turn toward the earth for integrative healing. I find great resource in our natural world. I seek my personal healing first with herbal remedies. I encourage people to experience the transformative power of somatic awareness in addition to herbal suggestions as they learn to integrate the wholeness of their body, mind and spirit.

Testimonials

     

 Although I had heard of somatic therapy before, I had never tried it until now. Since my first session with Elaine, amidst a challenging period in my life, I have found it to be very beneficial. It has aided me in slowing down my thoughts, focusing on my body awareness and sensations. It has allowed for a deep sense of well being, which is crucial for me at this time.

 I love working with Elaine. Every session, she accepts me exactly where I am at and there is always room for whatever comes up in our sessions. What I love about her modality and the way that she practices is her understanding of how the mind can dominate the body; she gently and consistently supports me to stay with my body to ensure I not tell the repeated story in my mind. I'm cultivating a loving and integrated relationship with my body because of the work Elaine and I do together.

 I recently had the amazing experience of working with Elaine using her holistic somatic method. I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She was BORN to do this work! She is deeply compassionate and highly intuitive. Working with her has opened new windows for me in understanding myself, enabling me to reach greater depths of healing. I highly recommend working with her!

 Working with Elaine is like receiving the parenting that many of us didn't get as a child. She exudes warmth, nurturing, and unconditional love. She listens closely always allowing me to feel seen in ways that I have historically struggled with. I always leave feeling deeply supported. I wish we all had access to the kind of loving presence Elaine is able to provide. 

Crysti J.: Special Education
     

 Working with Elaine, I felt safe enough to be vulnerable. Elaine was able to create a nonjudgmental, compassionate space for me during my sessions with her. I felt supported, heard and understood during our sessions.
