As a survivor of personal trauma, Elif is passionate about helping others to overcome complex, developmental trauma and attachment wounding, Her work encompasses both top down and somatic bottom up approaches. By working directly with the breath and body Elif’s intuitive and compassionate guidance supports people to tap into their subconscious mind and autonomic nervous system to release deeply held emotional blockages. Her somatic and attachment focused guidance gently supports people to feel safe enough to ease disconnection and dissociation, empowering them to become more fully embodied and allowing them to access their innate healing capacity. Her understanding of the principle – ‘the body keeps the score’ has been instrumental in guiding clients towards lasting transformation and well-being. In addition, her understanding of attachment styles, transference and transferential projection further enhances her ability to provide tailored support for her clients.

Elif’s background in yoga teaching and yoga nidra instruction has also been instrumental in supporting and enhancing her breathwork, bodywork and somatic experiencing practices. She has also received training in other energy modalities including reiki, chakra balancing and crystal healing. Throughout her journey, Elif has come to deeply understand the interconnectedness of the body, mind, and spirit and believes that healing occurs when all three are addressed. Her approach is intuitive, compassionate, and she creates a safe and supportive space for her clients to explore and connect with their inner wisdom and authentic self.

Through years of experience, she has developed an ability to read individual breath patterns. Every breath pattern has its own story to tell, relating to one’s beliefs, thoughts and behaviours. The body and breath speak. So we don’t need to talk. The therapeutic sessions are based on a holistic, somatic experience without the need to engage with analytical thinking, enabling subtle energetic blockages in the body to process.
