Helping you befriend your body and your nervous system

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.

Welcome!
I'm Elena Jacinta

I’m a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner based in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and a founder of Back To Your Body Somatic Therapy – a virtual private practice offering a safe space to attend to the nervous system and trauma through the body.

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.

About you

You might have been:

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 those issues at a deeper body-mind level and
are looking for attuned guidance and support.

If that’s you, I’m glad you are here.

Here’s how we can help:

Somatic Therapy

Physical unease, overwhelm, trouble calming down and 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 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.

Healing Attachments

Thriving Beyond Shock Trauma

If you are struggling with physical or emotional aftereffects of a shock trauma, such as surgery, accident, physical attack etc., we can assist you in reconnecting with your body and help you rediscover the sense of wholeness and agency.

Healing Across Generations

If you’ve done a lot of personal healing, but suspect that the issues you are facing might be older than you, extending to past generations, we can support you in addressing your intergenerational and ancestral trauma allowing you to find strength and resilience for yourself and the generations to come.

What our past clients say

"Elena is an excellent facilitator whose calm and non-judgmental presence provides a very safe space for me to explore what’s going on in my body. Each session brought me lots of insights and healing and Somatic Experiencing with Elena helped me tremendously to be more grounded and present in my body. Thank you so much!"

Tania

Hong Kong/ Thailand

"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!"

Nicole

"I feel that Elena is truly assisting with my healing. She is very kind and attentive. She led me gently so that I wouldn't get overwhelmed by strong emotions and sensations. Following the session I have had a feeling of joy and freedom. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!"
