“No outside advice can replace the wisdom that lives in your body.”
“What if the discomforts of motherhood weren’t problems to fix — but doorways to deeper knowing? What if meeting the chaos of a meaningful transformation, feeling though it and making choices from this spaciousness is the key for ease.
My work is born from this truth: no outside advice can replace the wisdom that lives in your body.”
— Elmira

How this work was born
Motherhood cracked something open in me.
It wasn’t just the early months with my twin daughters.
It was the identity shifts, emotional releases, relational changes, and creative rebirths - all happening at once.
I was overwhelmed, not only by the physical demands, but by the “shoulds” that echoed around me.
I kept searching outside myself for answers, convinced something must be wrong with me.
When I finally admitted that I wasn’t enjoying motherhood the way I thought I would, something surprising happened — I felt relief.
Telling the truth didn’t break me — it freed me.
This honest acknowledgment was my first step towards ease.
It’s only when I slowed down and made peace with my reality, I learned to trust my body as a compass in the tender landscape of motherhood — even while everything outside was loudly demanding my attention.
This work was born right there. In the quiet, in the discomfort, in the long becoming.
How I work
I meet you with presence —
not to fix or diagnose, but to create a space where your body can lead.
Somatic Coaching offers gentle guidance back to what you already know — even if it’s been buried under noise, expectation, or exhaustion. This work isn’t about tools or techniques.
It’s about bringing the unconscious to the present moment — at your own pace.
What I bring to our work
attuned nervous system support
deep listening — with my full presence, not just my ears
gentle, body-based practices that invite awareness, not pressure
intuitive guidance rooted in science, creativity, and care
space to be exactly where you are — no performance, no expectations
This space is for mothers who
feel disconnected from themselves in the midst of caregiving
wish to become mothers, but something is holding them back
long for more ease, softness, and emotional spaciousness
want to listen to their body instead of overriding it
are tired of trying to do it all “right” and expectations and seek inner trust
are ready to move slower, deeper, and more truthfully
don’t want to be fixed — just met, seen, and supported
confused about whether to have (more) children
If you feel the quiet sense that there’s something more — more ease, more space, more you - this is the work.
