With years of experience in physiotherapy, she talks about the importance of movement, alignment, and safety in the healing process.

She walks us through her hands-on approach — combining muscle release, alignment work, and real lifestyle change — to help people reconnect with their bodies and feel more at ease.  Healing, as Elke reminds us, isn’t just about treating pain. It’s about listening to the body, supporting it in the right way, and creating long-term balance from the inside out. 🔗 Watch now for a grounded conversation on movement, healing, and what it means to truly feel well in your body.  About Elke: Elke’s path into physiotherapy was driven by a deep curiosity about the human body and a genuine passion for movement, health, and healing. Since qualifying in 2001, she has developed a specialized focus on massage therapy—recognizing its often underestimated power. Her clinical experience taught her that true physical wellbeing comes not just from treating symptoms, but from restoring muscle health, balance, and relaxation at the root. For Elke, massage isn’t just a technique—it’s a vital tool for long-term recovery, strength, and resilience.

Behind the surface of success lies a complex struggle—constant pressure, easy access to substances, and the risk of losing balance in a world flooded with extremes. She explains how true healing goes beyond quick fixes and requires deep understanding of the nervous system and early life experiences. Structure and healthy boundaries become essential tools, especially when freedom can easily lead to chaos. Dr. Sarah also highlights the importance of honest relationships—people who say no and hold others accountable—in a culture where yes-saying often dominates. Healing, she reminds us, is not about thinking our way out of pain, but about creating safety, connection, and resilience. This episode invites us to rethink what it means to live authentically and find lasting balance amid life’s pressures. 🔗 Watch now for a revealing conversation that challenges the myths of wealth, uncovers the unseen struggles behind success, and explores the path to genuine balance and recovery.
