Elen's Story

From Chronic Pain and Illness to Absolutely Thriving

I lived with chronic neck pain, tension headaches, and jaw issues throughout my childhood and teenage years, struggling with tension and pain that would not go away.

​

In my 20s, I faced a major health challenge: severe full-body eczema. It wasn’t just a physical battle; the emotional toll was immense. My eczema left me debilitated for five years, at times landing me in the hospital due to infections, and sent my neck pain through the roof.

​

I tried everything. Alternative medicine, numerous physical therapists, countless prescription medications, and saw a variety of doctors. Some things gave me symtoms relief, but nothing that gave me a resolution.

This personal journey has given me a small window of insight into what my clients are going through when they walk into my clinic. I understand the frustration of living with chronic pain, the overwhelming feeling of trying countless things without success.

​

That’s part of why I do what I do. I strive to provide the kind of support I never received. For me, true healing only started when I looked at my health as a whole - when I began to understand the connection between my physical health and mental well-being. I realised that my body was trying to communicate something important, and once I addressed the emotional and mental aspects of my pain and illness, the physical symptoms began to ease.

​

Today, my neck issues are all but gone (a tight neck will always be my smoke alarm to tell me when I'm stressed!) and I am completely eczema free.

​

However, I’m not here to offer a one-size-fits-all solution. What worked for me won’t necessarily work for everyone, and I don't push a particular treatment or protocol. Instead, my approach is centred on creating a safe space for exploration. I draw on the physical and mental techniques I’ve learned over the years to support each client’s unique healing journey. Whether through bodywork, counselling, or a combination of both, my role is to walk alongside you, offering the tools and support that help you find the path to healing that works best for you.


I love what I do not only because of my own journey but also because of the privilege it is to play a small part in my clients' healing process. Every person I work with teaches me something new, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to support them through their own unique journeys.
