(Online) individual Coaching
The Alexander Technique method can bring much joy, progress and wellbeing to our lives. Teaching can be an incredibly rewarding profession. However, when we face recurring obstacles and issues in our own functioning, health or in teaching situations where do we turn? If you need support or help in taking that next step towards truly thriving. If you need help uncovering blind spots or just a listening ear, you can reach out for an online single private session or a three or six months coaching trajectory.
| Single session | € 120,- |
| 3 months trajectory (3 sessions) | € 330,- |
| 6 months trajectory (6 sessions) | € 600,- |
In my autobiographical podcast series #stuck, I honestly and openly share my story of financial hardship, loneliness and depression and how I recovered. I did most of that alone. You don’t have to! Together we can take your skills to the next level.
Summer Masterclasses starting August 20261
Our sense of touch is the gift many of us bring to our Alexander Technique lessons. But how do you develop this skill over time once you have graduated? I developed my sense of touch over a period of 30 years. It was practice and constructive feedback that helped me become the Alexander Technique Teacher and therapist I am today. I believe touch is developed through the actual experience of touching, in a safe space with respectful and honest feedback. This is what I provide during my summer master classes, which I will organize every summer starting in 2026. For more information you are invited to listen to episode 4: “touch” of my podcast series in touch with Elke.

In Touch with Fascia
Fascia tension often goes unnoticed but can have a deep effect on our health and well being. It can cause chronic pain and movemet restrictions. During this five day course I will take you through the 10 steps of a cranio sacral treatment protocol in which you will learn to feel and release fascia in the most crucial areas of the body. This course is as much a learning opportunity as a healing opportunity for yourself because of the time spent exchanging “hands on” work. For more information you are invited to listen to episode 2: “CranioSacral therapy” of my podcast series“in touch with Elke.
In Touch with Emotions and Energy
How we regulate our emotions and energy determines to a great extent the quality of our lives. Unwanted emotions need to be recognized, acknowledged understood and released. But what is often overlooked is that this is not enough. In order to truly thrive we need to shift to healthier states of being. During this course you will learn how to do just that for yourself and for your pupils. For more information you are invited to listen to episode 6: “emotions and energy” of my podcast series in touch with Elke
In Touch with Sound Healing and Moxa
Therapeutic tuning forks are an amazing tool soundhealing tool for fascia release and energy healing. I use moxibustion to calm the nervous system and help reestablish healthy functioning of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. For more information you are invited to listen to episode 4: “tools | tuning forks and moxa” of my podcast series in touch with Elke
In Touch with the Stomatognathic System
We all breathe, speak, eat, drink, chew, swallow and have facial expressions. These are basic human functions performed by stomatoghnathic system. This is a word that originates from the Greek language where “stoma” refers to the mouth and “gnathos” refers to the jaw. In this workshop we will explore if we can become (more) aware of tension patterns in this system and it’s effect on balance, poise, voice, articulation and our ability to recover from stress. We will look at tension patterns that arise from habits as well as compensations that arise from trauma and early childhood development issues.
In Touch with Early Childhood and Reflexes
Many of us have a deep wish to overcome adverse or traumatic childhood experiences. One relatively unknown therapy I use is Reflex Inhibition Therapy. With this method I help clients integrate the so called primary reflexes. These reflexes ensure early childhood development, but can cause problems if they stay active beyond a certain age. This course is just for you. In a small group we will combine theory with reflex assesment, during morning sessions. In the afternoon you will have a private reflex inhibition session with me and time off to relax and recover.
