Testimonials

"Eszter is a deeply valued member of the Healing Trauma Retreat team in Umbria. As a somatic therapist, yoga teacher, and reflexologist, she brings an extraordinary capacity to listen to the body and guide guests into a place of safety, awareness, and healing. Her somatic work is both gentle and profound, helping women release trauma held in the body and rediscover a sense of balance and presence. Through yoga, she creates a space of calm exploration where movement becomes a pathway to self-trust. Her reflexology sessions are described by our guests as deeply restorative, often unlocking surprising shifts in both body and mind. Eszter carries a quiet strength and a compassionate presence that make every guest feel seen, supported, and understood. Her contribution is woven into the heart of the retreat, and I feel truly grateful to have her as part of our team."

"A newcomer to somatic yoga, I was blessed to enjoy sessions with Eszter during my retreat. Any nerves dissipated when I first met her. Such a gentle, beautiful soul, Eszter leads with calm compassion. The movement together with her voice is almost hypnotic. I have fallen in love with somatic yoga and aim to continue to practice, as you feel the stresses and tensions flow away. Eszter also performed reflexology for me. Her light, gentle touch exuded a pure, innocent love for everyone and everything she touches. An hour of reflexology from Eszter is like a long good soak in the bath, followed by a long sleep in a comfy bed. Delicious ❤️."

"Eszter has the most nurturing and generous spirit about her. My time with her was a highlight of my retreat. She was pivotal to my success in dealing with a difficult and very personal struggle. She was very supportive with her breath work, yoga and dance therapy as well as supporting a clean healthy diet. She helped create a warm, calming and safe space where I felt free to open up and make great personal progress."

"A Beautiful Soul with a True Gift I met Eszter during the San Flaviano retreat in June 2025, where she was part of the wonderful team supporting us throughout the week. She led some of our somatic and yoga sessions — and as someone who had never done yoga before, I wasn’t sure what to expect. But Eszter’s calm, intuitive approach made every session a joy. I now feel completely hooked and looked forward to every moment on the mat. Her reflexology treatments were incredible — deeply relaxing and so soothing that I even fell asleep. It was the most peaceful I’d felt in a long time. Eszter is also an extraordinary cook. The meals she created were nourishing, full of flavour, and made with so much care. Just thinking about them makes my mouth water! What makes Eszter truly special is her presence — she’s warm, kind, compassionate, and so easy to be around. She has a way of gently easing any tension, leaving you feeling lighter and more at peace. Meeting her was a gift, and I feel very lucky to have been guided by her during such a meaningful week."

"Eszter’s joyful energy is infectious. She radiates warmth and positivity. I found her to be a talented teacher who guided me to connect more easily and deeply with myself. I especially enjoyed the sessions Eszter led in nature. She skillfully used the environment to create awareness and calm. I highly recommend Eszter for both somatic therapy and yoga."
