"I was looking for support with boundaries, speaking up and feeling grounded in my body during difficult situations.
During our work together, Elise was compassionate and intentional as she guided me through new ways to process my emotions and nervous system responses.
On the other side of our work, I'm so much more capable of holding myself through triggering moments. The shifts I've made in a short time, have been profound!"

This work is trauma informed somatic coaching and consulting.
Although my clients find the work "therapeutic", it should not be used as a replacement for therapy, if that feels like what you need. I started studying Somatic Experiencing and nervous system science because my clients inevitably come to me with trauma. While I am well equipped and trained to support anything that comes up in sessions, it is recommended that if you have unprocessed trauma, or are in an abusive relationship - this work is best done in tandem with a licensed mental health therapist.

Absolutely. This healing work is holistic.
Your voice is connected to how you take up space, set boundaries, and show up in the world. As you learn to express yourself with ease, you’ll likely notice shifts in your confidence, relationships, and overall sense of self. This work isn’t just about your voice - it’s about all parts of you.

Most coaching focuses on mindset—telling you to "just be more confident" or "push past the fear." But if your body doesn’t feel safe using your voice, no amount of positive thinking will override that.
This work is body-first. Instead of bypassing what’s happening in your nervous system, we work with it (it's the operating system of your body) - helping you release tension, rewire old patterns, and create true safety for full expression. When your body trusts that it’s safe to be heard, confidence isn’t something you force - it’s something that naturally emerges.
Instead of running in circles with new mindsets, habit changes and beliefs ~ we create LASTING change at the nervous system level.
back
First of all, I see you. There is nothing wrong with you and... that very thing is exactly why this work exists.
If speaking up, singing, or expressing yourself feels scary, it’s not because you’re incapable - it’s because your nervous system has learned that being heard isn’t safe. We work gently, at your pace, to rebuild that trust so your voice feels like home.
