I’ve tried…

…talk therapy, behavioral therapy, energy work, mindset work. But I still carried something heavy while being easily overwhelmed with challenges. A disconnection from my own life force.

It’s only when I started this somatic work, a gentle embodied way to process stress and trauma, I’ve gained lightness and aliveness.

That’s my mission for you: to guide you back into your own aliveness.

‍ ‍ With care, Elmira

Here’s what happened to me… (and might happen to you)

My body became lived in and not just functional.

I found gratefulness in my heaviest experiences: the traumatic birth, the attachment wounds, the sensitivity I tried to hide.

I moved from survival into clarity and from there into aligned action.

I gained energy and drive to make my life (and my body) my own.

I can't promise you what's on the other side for you.

But I can tell you this work touches something in you, you might never reached before.

And here’s what

my clients experienced:

“Working with Elmira allowed me to gently process my birth experiences and reconnect deeply with my postpartum body. She creates a warm, inviting environment that makes sensitive exploration feel safe and empowering.”
— Kate, 38, Art Therapist & Mother
“Before sessions with Elmira, motherhood often felt heavy and exhausting. Now, life feels lighter—I feel deeply connected to myself and my kids, more relaxed, and I’m experiencing more joy and ease every day.”
— Paula, 38, Coach & Mother
“I’ve been working with Elmira for over a year, and it’s had a huge impact. She’s helped me learn to translate the messages of my body and to safely feel my emotions, which has completely transformed the way I experience life.
She creates a deeply safe container and always shows up with so much love, patience, and grounded energy. This work has changed me for the better, and I couldn’t be more grateful to Elmira for all that she does.”
— Tara, 34, Writer & Creative
“Elmira's guidance was gentle yet powerful, helping me find regulation and presence during challenging times. Her somatic tools now form the foundation of my daily self-care routine, allowing me to feel grounded and safe.”
— Maike, 38, Judge & Mother
“Through Elmira’s coaching, I experienced a shift from holding anger inside to openly expressing and celebrating all my emotions. This shift dramatically improved my relationship with myself and those around me.”
— Inga, 38, Therapist & Mother
“After years of traditional talking therapy, I realised something was missing — attention to how my body responds to the world. Working with Elmira helped me stop forcing my body to “make sense” and instead listen to it with curiosity and care.
She was the first person who asked me if I felt safe when I arrived, and who invited my body into the process in such a gentle, intentional way. I often arrived tense or anxious, and always left feeling more relaxed and accepting of myself.
Elmira brings deep knowledge, grounded presence, and a rare ability to emotionally attune without judgment. This work helped me open up in ways I hadn’t been able to before, and I’m incredibly grateful for it.”
- Joana, 33, Creative
