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."

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.
