My intention.
I'm passionate about understanding us. Our internal world, and how it shapes the life we create and where it takes us.
As I began to understand my own mind, one thought kept coming back: I wish I'd been taught this sooner. That's what got me started, running mindset and emotional awareness workshops with youth back in New Zealand, alongside my sporting career. Growing up, emotions were shaped as a bad thing, something to push down or push through. But they're actually such a gift. Our internal guidance system.
Through sport, I worked with the physicality of the body: what it could do, achieve, strive for.
Now I'm working with something different. The way the body communicates with us throughout our lives. The sensations. The intuitive nudges. The way our nervous system responds to the people, places and situations around us.
I believe our emotions, when we build the capacity to let them move through us, are that same guidance system, pointing us toward the life we're meant to live. Building that capacity includes working with our nervous system, getting us out of survival and into a state of safety.

The heart of soul heart.
That passion has kept evolving. Through breathwork, and through exploring myself, I've moved into understanding our energy field, how emotions and thoughts, both energetic forms, shape our being in the world.
Sometimes real change takes working with someone else. I still work 1:1 with my own mentor, because there are parts of us we can't see on our own. Parts that need to be mirrored back to us. I believe that's the true catalyst for growth, and it's something I bring into how I hold space for others too.
Facilitating that for someone else, watching them reconnect with themselves at a deeper level and become familiar again with their own authentic expression and truth, is something I just love doing. To move forward in a way that isn't dictated by the world around us, or by what we're told we should be.
This is why I've created this space, for people to reconnect with their own body, and come back to the truth of who they are.
How I found myself here.
a snippet of the souls experience of soulheart
I spent 9 years as an pro netballer. The first 5 years of it, frustrated with what my body couldn't do, everything felt harder than it should be, and I just felt like my mind was battling with my body, not in a kind way. Self criticsm was high, self belief was low.
Why wasn't I stronger, faster, fitter, skinnier? Why did I have to be so tall? Comparing my body to girls completely different to me. Always fighting against myself, just struggling to accept what was, the emotional and mental weight of all of it, carried around the netball court and through life with me.
People saw me doing well externally. I had a version of society's success. But somehow in that, the human being underneath it all got lost. The one with emotions, doubts, an inner world that no one ever really asked about. But that's the world we can live in. Success looking a certain way, and if you fit the picture, everyone assumes you must be fine and happy.
So I tried to believe it myself. I got swept up in a world that wasn't mine, mistaking external validation and approval for connection and success. Professional sport, while surrounded by people, can be so lonely at times.
During one of my toughest years, I received a head injury. Maybe it was life's way of making me stop running for a minute. Depression followed. It gave me no choice but to begin making changes. With doctors only wanting to prescribe me drugs, I took matters into my own hands and began trying every holistic and natural method I came across to help myself.
That was 2021.
The journey since has been an unravelling. A homecoming. A truth-seeking exploration of myself, the world, and what is really important. And I finally feel like I've landed where I was always meant to be.
My own reconnection with my body, heart and soul has given me the deeper connection I had spent my whole life looking for. And now I share my journey and learnings with others, to give them that same sense of security, safety and connection with their own body and soul, and maybe just the hope that something positive can come from the dark stages of life.
I am a certified Spinal Energetics practitioner, Reiki practitioner, Breathwork and Meditation practitioner, Holistic Life Coach and Mind-Body practitioner.
Each modality I offer is one I have personally experienced and been transformed by. Spinal Energetics, Breathwork, meditation and Reiki are not tools I simply trained in. They are practices that shifted something fundamental in me, time and time again. I know what it feels like to lie on that table, in fact, I love it. I know what it feels like when all the talking in the world hasn't helped, and then finding something that allows the body to finally release what the mind couldn't process. I know how freeing it can be.
Maybe this is your chance to experience it too.
Love always, Elleanor x
What I Offer & Why
Holistic Life Guidance
This looks at life a little deeper than typical life coaching. It's less about goals and strategy on the surface, and more about what's happening underneath: our subconscious patterns, belief systems, thought and emotional patterns, and nervous system state, and how all of it shapes the way we show up in life. Our subconsious mind (includes the body) rules 95% of our life. The remaining 5% is our conscious mind.
Working with things like neuroscience, neuroplasticity, the nervous system and the mind-body connection, and how they communicate with each other, we work to shift the internal state. That's what creates real, root-level, long-lasting change. Not a bandaid on the outside.
It's about deepening self-awareness so we can recognise the patterns we didn't consciously choose: the ways we might unknowingly recreate situations we don't want, hold ourselves back from what we want, or get in our own way. Our brain has a filtering system that often keeps these honest reflections just out of reach, not because anything is wrong with us, but because that's how the mind protects us.
This work is about self-understanding and self-compassion, never self-blame. It's not about looking at what's been done to us. It's about reconnecting with ourselves so we can move forward from a place of safety, clarity and choice.
Spinal Energetics
Developed and taught by Dr. Sarah Jane, Spinal Energetics works with the spine, nervous system, and the body's energetic field. The idea is simple: emotion and past experience can get stored in the body as tension, long after the moment itself has passed. Using light touch, or no touch at all, this work invites the body to unwind the way it did before it was conditioned into protection, rigidity and contraction. Your body leads, nothing is forced. You might notice breath, sound, or spontaneous movement as it settles.
Sessions are different every time. Some people feel immediate lightness. Others notice the shift over the days that follow, a 72-hour integration period is common.
This was the modality that unlocked something in me breathwork alone hadn't reached. It's changed my calm, my clarity, my confidence and my trust in my own life and a direction not shaped by others. My posture has also improved, the way I inhabit my body is different, it just feels more comfortable than it ever had before.
Breathwork
Most people breathe dysfunctionally without realising it, and it affects far more than lung capacity: stress, muscle tension, heart rate, sleep. There are breathing functions to optimise athletic performance, get you out of your mind in day to day life and improve sleep. Conscious connected Breathwork uses specific techniques to shift your nervous system out of the thinking mind and into the body, releasing stored tension and creating space for clarity and presence.
I broke my nose at 9 and couldn't breathe through it properly for 20 years. Retraining that alone changed everything, my sleep, my sport, my stress levels. Conscious connected breathwork is what really began reintroducing me to parts of myself I had forgotten existed.
Conscious Connected Breathwork is what really began the unraveling of held tension and emotions after years of being the strong one, holding it together for everyone else and absorbing others emotions. I had so many people after different breathwork sessions telling me I looked lighter, younger, more alive. It’s incredible.
Usui Reiki
Reiki is a light touch or hands-off energy practice, working with the body's own life force to help you settle. When life gets heavy, that energy can feel blocked, showing up as tension, fatigue, or a sense that something's off. Reiki helps bring it back into flow and balance.
Most people describe a deep sense of calm and warmth, and simply being able to relax. FLoating in that space between awakeness and sleep. Reiki is gentle, and it meets you exactly where you're at.
I was sceptical when I first began trying this but I had to try something for my depression and anxiety (because I’d come off anti depressants). Then after my fourth session, knee pain that had bothered me for YEARS just wasn't there anymore when I stood up and walked home. It blew my mind. From then I have been convinced there is something to all of this and I have been exploring ever since.
