"Elena, through her parts work psychology-based therapy, has done miracles. She's really guided me through such a deep process of healing that no other kind of therapy has ever managed to come close to and to touch."

"This program came at the right time, as I was starting to get physical symptoms of being overwhelmed. I learnt a lot about self-awareness and inner conflicts. I now listen more to the signs of being overwhelmed or even a bit lost. This was a great step for reassessing my career and my work-life balance!"

"It felt like my brain was disconnected from the body and was leading my life through, whereas the body was left behind. I wanted some solution to connect better to my feelings. Following the program, I accepted different parts of myself and learned how to listen to those in need, in order to better manage my energy and enjoy more."

"I had a fantastic IFS session with Elena. She has a very natural, caring and compassionate approach that not only creates a safe space but allows you to unlock doors you never new existed. I would recommend Elena in a heart beat to anyone seeking deeper exploration and support."

"I reached a point in my life, when I was overwhelmed, almost burnt out and all previous methods (inner child therapy stopped working). I now have a toolkit I can use myself daily, in any situation, helping me to get to the 'bottom of it'. To accept and take care of all the parts of me. To embrace the light and the shadow in a simple day-to-day way."

"Met Elena in a transformative time for me as I was moving from a corporate career to my own business path. And this is exactly what I needed to learn, how to live and work from an inspirational mode rather than a victim / ‘I have to’ one. Love the mix of theory and practical exercises, and very grateful for all the materials."

"All my life, I was suffering from migraines. Since about a year, started feeling a spasm in my jaw. I was not able to relax. Pain was permanent. After a therapy session with Elena, I noticed improvement. Headaches are not as frequent, and not as intensive."

"During the therapy, I connected with long forgotten emotions and memories. Thank you, Elena, for supporting me and guiding me softly and with great care through my inner journey. After a single session, I released tension in my stomach, and it even reduced in size. I feel significantly less tension in my shoulders."

"I went from reacting to being in control. Instead of being consumed by the emotion, I was able to notice it, and that completely changed how I responded. Just being able to say 'I feel this anger building right now' completely changed the dynamic in my relationship."
