Elaine Caligiuri, Recovery and Somatic Nervous System Coach

Welcome.

If you are struggling with unwanted, repetitive food behavior patterns or intense cravings, let’s start with a foundational truth: there is nothing wrong with you! These challenges are not failures of willpower; they are governed by your nervous system. To break the loop, we cannot simply talk about it, we must shift the underlying biology.

As a Recovery and Somatic Nervous System Coach, I go directly to the mechanical roots of how your brain and body communicate. My work focuses on giving you practical, bodily tools to build a daily rhythm that makes living feel easier, calmer, and more stable. Rejecting rigid rules and perfectionism, we practice “crowding out”—strategically adding supportive, stabilizing elements into your life before looking at removing old coping mechanisms. By focusing on incremental changes and fierce self-kindness, we build true nervous system flexibility and resiliency at a pace that honors your biology.

True recovery is a highly personal journey involving physical withdrawal and biochemical repair, whether your body is adapting away from food use or automatic relational loops. To support this serious physical work, I provide physiological tracking and psychoeducation so you can learn the exact biological science behind your patterns, while we use gentle body-based somatic practices to help your nervous system handle the physical discomfort of change.

My approach bridges time-tested ancient wisdom teachings with the rigorous modern science that validates them. We will use intentional habit formation to quiet hyper-vigilant survival responses and neuroplasticity to access your prefrontal cortex and higher wisdom states.

My professional background includes a comprehensive wealth of knowledge built over decades. I am a former Licensed Mental Health Counselor (WA State), with certifications in Somatic Practices, Mental Fitness Coaching, Parent Education, and Social-Emotional Learning. Dedicated to ongoing growth, my practice is supported by continuous, up-to-date education in trauma physiology and modern neuroscience. Today, I bring this background together to offer holistic wellness support that honors mind, body, and spirit as one connected system.

I maintain my own health as a vital anchor for this work. For over 40 years, I have been a dedicated mindfulness meditator and yoga practitioner. My experience working in this field is rooted in my being a deep nature enthusiast, and keeping my own nervous system grounded through creativity, whether I am sewing, wool-felting, gardening, hiking, or enjoying trick training with my dog. It is a privilege to help you stabilize your biology, “quiet the noise”, and build a resilient daily reality that genuinely feels like home.
