Attachment-Informed Somatic Therapy for trauma healing and nervous system regulation


your body is intelligent, your body is your guide, your body is a healer

Your body has the innate capacity to regulate and heal itself. Our job is not to fix it but to help restore its resilience through attuned presence and connection.

If you are experiencing symptoms of chronic stress or trauma and would like to include your body in your healing, you are at the right place.

What Brings You Here?

You might be:

  • feeling stuck in your life or caught in a loop of repeated patterns
  • noticing unusual psychosomatic symptoms
  • experiencing flashbacks or resurfacing of your childhood wounds
  • receiving support through traditional talk therapy or other healing modalities but sensing that your body is keeping the score.

And so you:

  • would like to address what bothers you at a deeper body-mind level and
  • are looking for attuned guidance and support.
If that’s you, we are glad you are here.


How Somatic Therapy Can Help

Physical unease, overwhelm, trouble calming down, difficulty managing emotions and feeling detached from the body are just some of the signs of chronic stress and trauma that our clients come to us with.

But trauma is not in the event, nor it is just in our head. It is held in the nervous system and in the tissues of our body.

In our somatic therapy sessions, we’ll use the Somatic Experiencing ® approach along with other somatic healing modalities to help you regulate your nervous system and restore your deep connection to the body that holds the implicit memory of what happened in the past.

We’ll help you gradually release, renegotiate and repair layers of stress and trauma so you can feel more present, alive and more like yourself.

And we’ll do it gently and safely, letting the healing unfold in its own time.

Our specialty

Somatic Therapy For Single Traumatic Events And Repeated Trauma

Shock Trauma

If you are struggling with physical or emotional consequences of a shock trauma, such as surgeries, accidents, physical abuse etc., we will assist you in safely reconnecting with your body and help you rediscover the sense of wholeness and agency.

Attachment and Developmental Trauma

If you are looking for guidance through the delicate process of healing childhood trauma, including early attachment and developmental wounds, we will provide a safe relational container and the support you need to reclaim your embodied sense of self and connection.

Generational, Collective & Systemic Trauma

If you’ve done your personal healing but sense that the challenges you’re facing go beyond your individual experience, we will support you in working through generational, collective, and systemic trauma to find strength and resilience for yourself and generations to come.

Kind Words From Past Clients

"From our first meeting, I felt Elena held such a caring space. It was so easy to be vulnerable with her which allowed me to touch some very deep places in a relatively short amount of time. She provided, not only, a safe space for my inner world to unfold, but tools for me to manage it with her and on my own. She taught me how to slow down my mental narrative and just be with my body, where the real energy is. Thanks again!"
