Client Feedback"Most of my therapy with Elke over 3 1/2 years has been centered around Abhyanga massages which are consistently the best I’ve ever experienced in my life, providing huge stress relief and peace of mind. They quite simply give me a quick fix of rejuvenation. But Elke’s powers of healing do not stop there. I encourage anyone who consults with her to open their minds to how she can help them." "This was an extraordinary experience. Elke takes you in and out of a trance through her hands on your body, through music, through the soothing magic of hot oil, and allows you to linger there under the warmth of smooth stones." Nothing is predictable, it's all an adventure and her hands and heart are so caring that you can only be grateful for her sacred gift." "I highly recommend Elke because she highly skilled and has an intuitive touch. Elke has helped me with my back pain, among other problems. She uses warm Ayurvedic herbal oils, essential oils, and hot rocks in her 90 minute Ayurvedic massage. Wonderful!!!" "Elke brings a profound depth and dynamism to her work. Her Ayurvedic massage is truly relaxing and transformative. She has knowing hands and has helped me with some difficult abdominal and coccygeal issues with her bodywork. I have been a doctor of chiropractic for 25 years and I recommend Elke highly". "Chronic tension had manifested in my body after year's of high stress. The results of Elke's treatments were immediate and amazing! I am a bodyworker and healer and I recommend Elke's services to anyone in need of a healing touch. "Elke is an exceptionally gifted healer! I am so glad to have found her and very appreciative of her help. Following just a couple of sessions..., I have regained my spirit, focus and strength."

relaxing, and are focused to specific issues such as weight loss and detox." "You are amazing. It was a very powerful session. Amazing really...I slept for 24 hours. It was a pleasure to meet you.
