Somatic & Emotional Counseling Sessions

Feel yourself deeply. Move toward deeper self-love & true self-expression. Experience deeper self-compassion, learn to care for neglected parts of yourself, and connect with guides from the unseen world who are longing to support you.

“I had a rough childhood.”

“My dad was alright, but I don’t remember my mom ever really being there.”

“I don’t think my parents ever really saw me.”

“I quickly learned how to be, and WHO to be, to protect myself in my family.”

Any of these statements resonate for you? Oh, girl (or oh, non-binary friend.) I see you. I suffered something similar. Welcome.

Some of us were born to parents who had no idea what the fuck they were doing, and for good reason. I’m a mother myself, and it is the most challenging job in the world. It’s wonderful to see your parents as people and offer forgiveness where you can.

BUT when we have experiences like the above (or worse) as a child,

it deeply affects the rest of our lives, on every level.

Our ability to know ourselves,

to have intimate relationships that feel nourishing,

to trust the world around us,

to feel safe in our bodies,

and on and on and on.

In our time together, we will use somatic and energetic practices to help you reparent yourself. To help you learn how to talk to the little ones inside of you who need your love and care. To support in you in finding more resources in the natural and unseen world. We will use trauma resolution practices to help you find your boundaries within relationships. You will learn how to better see your strengths and gifts.

Learn to take exquisite care of YOU.

The Feminine, or the more yin aspects of our essence, are often shamed or bullied out of us when we are children. Reclaiming our emotions and original nature is often the boost we need to love all our parts and move forward with more self-acceptance, regardless of our gender.

Together, we’ll look at your childhood woundings and the places where your caregivers didn’t give you enough love, attention, or support (even if they desired to). We’ll use tools and processes to shore up your self-acceptance, self-love, and self-worth, so that you can deeply meet your own needs. From there you’ll begin to make headway toward your authentic desires and expression, without being held back by unconscious beliefs and patterns.

Those of us with more yin characteristics have amazing gifts to give the world. We are open-hearted, tender, and empathetic. AND we might be people-pleasers (even if we’ve been working on it for a while). We make sure we have permission from our loved ones and community before we make a bold move. Or we experience fear/old patterns that holds us back from our biggest dreams.

Self-Expressed is about slowly and gently shifting into YOURSELF. The true you, beneath the people pleasing and ancestral stories. Layer by layer, you’ll come into deeper alignment with your internal truth, and begin to find your place and belonging with community that adores you for who you really, really are. And I’ll be championing you all the way.

This coaching is for you if:

• you have a tendency to play it small and shrink from what you want

• you want to cultivate and honor your own inner knowing/intuition

• certain habits seem to hold you back

• you feel stagnant or stuck

• you crave a deeper connection to Source, Spirit, or the universe

  
  You’ll leave our sessions with:

• a stronger sense of your needs and how to get them met in healthy ways

• greater self-acceptance and self-love

• an understanding of how to protect and provide for your inner child

• a felt-sense of your intuition and inner knowing

• more inner resource and tools for trying times

What if …

• your emotions could be a gift and not a hinderance?

• you could lead your life in alignment with your energy levels, and feel good about resting/just being?

• you could feel and process your emotions in small, doable ways, and that was a method of healing in itself?

• you could make decisions from a soul and heart-centered place, without too much worry about what others might think, or fear that you wouldn’t be supported by Life?

What people are saying …

“Elena has helped me make dramatic movement in only 3 sessions. I instantly felt very comfortable and accepted. We have uncovered deep layers of childhood issues that are getting in between myself and my freedom and access to pleasure, as well as accessing archetypal figures that bring me into more power and ease. Our sessions resonate throughout my life, as I see myself, my habits, and my relationships in new light. Elena strikes an impressive balance between giving me lots of space to explore and being directive, offering exercises and practices that help me go deeper into my process.

Elena has an easy emotional range -- I feel comfortable laughing or crying or screaming. She has done the work herself which allows her to help others in a genuine and humble way -- I know this because she is open in sharing about herself in ways that deepen my own experience. I am so grateful to Elena for her loving support and incisive wisdom and I would recommend her to any woman looking to take their femininity to the next level.” - Emma Sartwell, Somatic Spiritual Counseling

“I loved working with Elena! She's such open and easy to talk to, very refreshing and warm. She helped me with money and inner child wound issues as well as finding my empowered self. We were able to find my inner Feminine and Masculine through customized meditations and exercises. At all times I felt very safe to share my experiences with her no matter how ugly they might have seemed. I'm definitely wanting to have at least a once a month follow up after our sessions, this is how connected I feel. This is the first time I ever receive coaching and I'd always say no because other coaches didn't inspire the level of trust we developed.

All the exercises were easy to do and flexible, I enjoyed the meditations and breathwork—I feel I got lots of growth from them. I've been able to connect more with my inner child, and work on becoming my own warrior. I feel I'm in a deeper connection with my empowered warrior goddess and I thank Elena's guidance and acceptance. I would recommend her to anyone looking to work on empowerment, inner child wounds and self-confidence.” - Michelle

Who am I?

I’m a 800-hour certified VITA sex and love coach, with three additional years of training in trauma resolution. I recently finished Level 2 of Rachael Maddox’s ReBloom Coaching Training, which is focused on trauma resolution and healing from early emotional neglect. I recently completed Alchemical Alignment Trauma Resolution and Embodiment of Spirit training, which combines Somatic Experiencing, Polarity therapy, and craniosacral tools.

I love supporting people to fully step into their unique soul gifts and purpose in the world, so that they might embody the medicine they’re here to give.

My passion is empowering women to trust themselves, and to thrive in their lives. Sessions are trauma informed, consent-based, and meant to empower who you really are.

FAQ

Is this program only for women?

If you identify as a woman, you have a place here, including transgendered women, queer, non-binary and gender non-conforming women.

I’d love more details about the program.

During our initial 30-minute feeler call, we’ll discuss everything: where you are now and where you’d like to be, how the program works, the pricing, and the payment options available to you.

Curious? Let’s set up a zero pressure feeler call to see if we’re a good fit. Please fill out this application and I’ll be in touch.

“I came to Elena as a highly sensitive person, often being triggered into panic attacks around a sexual trauma. After the panic attacks, I would go into shutdown for several days. I somehow felt both numb and raw, overly sensitive to the world around me, never knowing when I would go under. I had lost touch with the passionate, fiery woman I used to be.

Through my sessions with Elena, I am coping so much better with my sensitivity. She’s giving me so many tools to move through and on—tools that I love using, like meditations, breathwork and star charts. I have so much more self-awareness now, and feel I can connect with the wisdom that is INSIDE me. I’m connecting dots, and feel I’ve emerged from the traumatic spell I was under.

I’m more comfortable in my body, as well as with my emotions. I feel I can hold myself through life better. I can see the wave coming now, and I can hold myself through it. Because of this, my partnership with my husband is better too.

We also worked with my menstrual cycle, and after just a few months, I can’t believe the positive changes! I am so much less judgmental with myself now that I understand and support my cycle.

Elena is a joy to work with. She’s so emotionally connected, loving, compassionate, sparkling, and personal. It’s not like working with a therapist who is a cold wall. I am always happy to see her, and feel I can share fully who I am.

I highly recommend working with Elena if you are experiencing a desire to come back to your true self, and to heal on multiple levels.” - R
