My strength has definitely improved training with her!Anastasia Karagiannidis2022-01-14Elnès’ dedication and commitment to her clients’ well being are second to none! I started training with her as a result of a very painful lower back problem, towards the end of 2019. I had to eventually have an operation in 2021 which was a success, however I started to have problems with my hip. Elnè tried everything to alleviate the pain - from hydrotherapy to massage including lazer etc. What impressed me was her commitment to help me. She is cognisant of her clients’ challenges and ensures maximum care at all times.
