Live with Presence, Passion, Trust & Love

I believe that my work can help anyone find the personal path that leads to more happiness and abundance.
I want to share with you the gifts of methods and practices that changed my own life in a way that i have never imagined could be possible.

After studying Communication Design i started my professional career in the field of media, video production, graphic design and advertising. But i never felt my soul arrived. I loved being creative but i also had the strong desire to make a meaningful difference in life. I felt something is missing and i had phases of depression.
The journey into Yoga began. I became a teacher and over the years certified in 2 different styles of yoga, Anusara Yoga and Sampoorna Yoga I studied with world-known teachers and schools like ISTA (the international school of temple arts) and with Thomas Young and Gabrielle Orr and Marisa Peer.
I opened and let 2 yogaschools in my hometown Düsseldorf, moved to Sardinia and created Balaiana Eco Retreat, a center for spiritual practices and selfdiscovery.

In my coachings and hypnotherapy sessions, I’m deeply passionate about teaching the methods and guiding the path that truly helped me to thrive in my life.
I know if you don´t change your emotional state and your thoughts, nothing will change!

Working with Elke was super precious to me. It felt a little bit like decluttering my inner cellar to unveil my hidden treasures. We wiped away a lot of dust and figured out what is worth to keep. We found the stuff that needs and actually wants to be on the upper floor instead of downstairs. With Elke’s support I was way faster to find those parts of me. And she helped me to start to acknowledge that some of the old parts are no longer necessary to hold on. She is a great support, mental pillar and she navigated me through the jungle of my uncertainties, thoughts and talents and to figure out my personal vision of my soulful business.

Elke accompanies you in a warm and humorous way through the time of coaching. She brings a colorful bouquet of different techniques that she uses individually. I never had the feeling of being in a prefabricated program, but rather of being taken lovingly by the hand. Since the coaching I have more self-confidence again, I can perceive my needs better and I hardly have any anxiety or panic attacks anymore and deal with them in a completely different way. I can wholeheartedly recommend working with Elke to anyone who realizes that they are struggling and want to grow. Thank you Elke for everything!

Starting this "journey" with Elke was one of my best decisions! The RTT method and Elke's always empathic, supportive and warm-hearted, but also challenging manner have completely convinced me. Thank you very much, dear Elke, for this profound experience, your rich toolbox for all situations in life and your wonderful guidance!

Alisa and I are so appreciative for the very special time we spent with you. The beautiful retreat you offer at Mascarato was the highlight of our trip. The work we did has made such a difference for us, since our time with you we often work through some of the very insightful practices you shared that help us along in our journey together. We still day dream about the rejuvenating sleeps, your restorative mediations and yoga and the magical location and its magnetic energy that we crave and will surely return for. Your programme was wonderful and we felt tended too and had such constructive and helpful sessions together but we also had so much time to enjoy the magic of the area that surrounded us. It really was a perfect balance and we have thrived in every was since. We can’t wait to visit again and have another retreat with you. Thank you again, Love Ashley & Alisa

We worked with Elke during a four day couple retreat. Starting from a place of deep hurt and disconnect, Elke was able to hold space and guide us in a way, that brought us together. There was ample time to have deep conversations and counselling sessions together without feeling rushed. Elke did not shy away from difficult conversations; rather enabled us to articulate ourselves sensitively. Each person felt valued and heard. Elke uses different techniques from her years of experience and blended them together in such a way that was seamless and appropriate to our circumstance. She spent many hours with us and was able to delve deep into our issues in order to bring understanding and healing. Elke is an expert and compassionate practitioner and we would recommend her highly.

I chose this retreat as Elke had amazing reviews and she seemed very welcoming and easy to talk to and her retreat was extremely beneficial for both of us. Plus it’s Italy!Improved communication and learned how to understand each other better.Definitely worth the experience. Amazing retreat hosts. Make sure you get to enjoy Sardinia as well.
