About Elaine

I'm a perfectionist, people-pleaser, poor boundary maker, high-strung and high-standard person through and through. What are usually hailed as desired qualities have wreaked a havoc on my physical and mental wellbeing, as well as my self-identity. I lived in a body that was depleted all the time, in a mind that continued to exacerbate my physical symptoms, with a soul that felt lost. I wasn't in home with my body or with myself. I was disconnected and dis-membered, because I was conditioned to do what was required of me and not ask a single questions about it.

A few years ago, I woke up to the reality of it all. What helped me survive and even thrive in the early years of childhood and adulthood were now draining me, bit by bit. I changed the course of my life philosophy, my yoga practice, and most importantly, my relationship with myself. I searched high and low for what could "fix" me, but in the end I realized, I didn't need to be fixed. What I needed was reconnect and re-member myself.

What started out as seeking outwards took me back to seeking inwards; I came full circle back into myself. Finally, at home, with myself, fully.

I am here to guide you through the same journey. From the overwhelmed, burnt-out, anxious, disconnected and dis-membered you, perhaps living in chronic pain or invisible illness, to a reconnected and remembered you. Through self-nurture, reconnecting and remembering yourself, you can return back home in your body, in yourself.
