When she came to me, she was convinced the relationship was the problem. She felt unseen, unmet, worn down from trying, and she believed the most self-respecting thing she could do was walk away. She didn’t come asking how to stay - she came wanting the strength to leave.

But as we slowed things down, something else revealed itself.

It wasn’t that she didn’t know what she wanted. It was that, in her body, it didn’t feel safe to want it out loud. Most of the time, she didn’t speak at all. And when she did, her words came wrapped in tension - fear disguised as communication. This wasn’t dysfunction. It was protection. A nervous system that had learned, long ago, that taking up space could cost her love.

So our work wasn’t about fixing the relationship or teaching better communication. It was about restoring safety - in her body, in her voice, in herself. About helping her feel grounded enough to stay present with her truth instead of bracing against it.

As that safety returned, something shifted. She no longer had to choose between herself and the relationship. From that steadier place, she chose to stay - not from fear, not from habit, but from clarity. And the relationship met her there.

Today, they are married and have a little baby girl!

I share this because so often what looks like a relationship problem is actually a safety problem. And when a woman feels safe enough to be fully herself, life can change in ways we never could have planned.

The is the kind of work held inside Temple of the Feminine Heart.

Temple of the Feminine Heart is a 9-month intimate online journey for women ready to stop managing themselves and begin listening to their bodies. The work centers nervous system safety and embodied feminine wisdom, creating the conditions for honest expression, clear boundaries, and deeper intimacy - within oneself and with others.
 We begin February 19.

This is the work I hold women in - not fixing, not forcing, but remembering what it feels like to come home to yourself.

Over the years, I’ve learned something about myself.

Whenever I truly commit to a space of growth - not just dipping in, but letting myself be held there - something shifts.

Every single time, another layer opens.�A truth I couldn’t access before.�A softening I didn’t even know I was ready for.

Growth doesn’t have an end point.
There’s no final version of us.
We don’t arrive.
We deepen.

That’s why spaces like this matter so much to me.

When you’re held in learning, reflection, embodiment, and community over time, you stop skimming the surface of your life.
You start living from somewhere deeper.

I know how easy it is to stagnate when nothing is gently stretching you.
When days repeat.
When inspiration fades.
When your inner world feels a little flat or distant.

And I also know what happens on the other side of that.

When you stay devoted to your own unfolding.�When you keep saying yes to growth - not because something is wrong, but because there’s more to feel, more to remember, more to embody.

This is why I care so deeply about long-term containers.

Spaces that walk with you while real life keeps moving.�While you’re in relationship.�In work.�In motherhood.�In change.

Temple of the Feminine Heart was created from this devotion.

A space where growth isn’t rushed or forced, but supported and cyclical.
Where you don’t have to pause your life to go deeper.�You simply learn how to live from a deeper place.

My love, if you sense that there’s another layer waiting, this may be your invitation to let yourself be held.

If stating your standards scares him, he was never meant for you.

So many women don’t state what they really want in a relationship - or they wait far too long to say it. Not because they don’t know… but because they’re afraid.

Afraid of being “too much.” Afraid of pushing him away. Afraid that if they name their standards, he’ll leave.

So they wait. They soften it. They adapt. They hope that with time clarity will just appear.

What I see over and over again is this: the longer you don’t say what matters to you, the more you abandon yourself - and anxiety is often the body’s response to that misalignment.

I saw this clearly with a client last week.

She was dating someone and felt constantly unsettled - unsure if he wanted commitment or wanted to keep things open. The anxiety was growing. The stories were getting louder. And part of her thought, “If I say what I want now, I might lose him.”

Instead of waiting, we worked on something different: how to communicate her standards early - calmly, clearly, without blame, without need.

Not: “You need to do this for me.”
But: “This is what matters to me. This is how I do relationships. If that aligns, beautiful. If not that’s ok, and I’ll step away.”

Here’s the truth: A healthy, emotionally available man is attracted to a woman who knows her worth and names her standards. He wants to rise to that.

And if a man doesn’t want commitment, clarity, or depth - you haven’t “scared him away.” You’ve saved yourself months (or years) of confusion and self-abandonment.

Queen energy isn’t about demanding. It’s about self-respect.

It says: “This is who I am.” “This is what I want.” “And I trust myself enough to walk away if it’s not met.”

That’s not risky. That’s powerful.

And it’s how anxiety dissolves - because you stop waiting to be chosen, and start choosing yourself.

PS: My client was nervous going into the conversation but it ended up going well. He didn’t shut down. He didn’t disappear. He confirmed that he wanted the same things she wanted.

And if he hadn’t? She would’ve saved herself months of question marks.

Either way, she would have won, because she didn’t abandon herself.

Everyone’s talking about 2016, and honestly when I think about it, it was such a pivotal year for me. 
When I look back at that year, it wasn’t shiny or clean or “figured out.” But it was a year I felt SO alive.

I was 25-26. Living in New York. Halfway through my master’s in health & wellness coaching and about to start my yoga teacher training. I was still very much in my relationship patterns, still carrying that deep sense of loneliness and emptiness I didn’t yet have language for.

And yet - something cracked open.

For the first time, I wasn’t trying so hard to be in a box.
I dated more freely. I said yes to life. A lot.

I discovered the underground electronic music scene and something in me woke up on those dance floors. I felt my body in a way I hadn’t before. At the same time, I was deepening spiritually - which sounds contradictory, but for me it wasn’t. Those worlds met in my body.

I traveled. Tulum. The Grand Canyon. London. Portugal. Late nights. Early mornings. So much fun.
I fell in love. I got my heart broken. And instead of closing, I learned.

That was also the year I knew I was done with New York. After five years of a love–hate relationship, something in me was ready to leave. Ready to go back to Lebanon. Ready to be closer to my grandmother. Ready for another chapter.

It was the year I started teaching yoga. The very beginning of the path that eventually became the work I do today - even though I had no idea where it would lead.

I wasn’t regulated. I wasn’t healed. I definitely wasn’t balanced.

But I was alive.

And sometimes, even now - with more grounding, more harmony, more stability - I miss that version of me. The one who felt everything so intensely. The one who didn’t have all the tools, but had a deep instinct to move, explore, say YES to life.

I don’t want to go back to 2016.

But I do want to remember her.
That aliveness. That openness. That willingness to let life move through me.

Maybe that’s what all this nostalgia is really about - not wanting the past back, but remembering a part of ourselves that felt free.
And finding ways to live that again, now - in a body that’s more grounded, more present, more home.

There was a theme that kept surfacing at my Rebirth Retreat last week, without anyone planning it - motherhood.

Some of the women there had very young children. One was pregnant, preparing to become a mother. And again and again, we landed in the same place: how deeply we love our children, and how quietly it can happen that we lose ourselves inside that love.

Motherhood asks for so much of us, especially in the early years. Our bodies, our time, our sleep, our nervous systems. We are needed constantly. And at the same time, there’s this unspoken expectation to be grateful, fulfilled, happy - as if love should cancel out exhaustion, loneliness, or grief for the parts of ourselves that feel far away.

What we don’t talk about enough is how isolating it can feel. How little space there is to truly rest. How rarely mothers are held in the way they hold everyone else.

What I witnessed were women who needed care too. Women who needed softness, grounding, and permission to receive - without having to justify it.

Motherhood doesn’t mean you stop being a woman. But so often, she’s the first one to disappear.

I know this place myself. The longing for a space where I can soften, exhale, and be met - not as a mother, not as a facilitator, but simply as me.

And even if you’re not a mother, or don’t plan to be, this still matters. Because as women, we’re conditioned to give before we receive. To hold before we’re held. To keep going instead of letting ourselves land.

And sometimes the bravest thing a woman can do is allow herself to be held.

11/01/2026

Community nourishes us in a way nothing else can replace.�
It reminds us of a truth we often forget: we don’t have to do everything alone.�
As life moves on and our worlds become busier, community is often the first thing we lose.
We live more separately, we handle more by ourselves and we learn to cope, independently and often in isolation.�
And I really believe this separation costs us more than we realize. It disconnects us from being seen. From being held. From being met in the places where life feels tender or uncertain.

There is something deeply regulating about moving in a shared rhythm. About knowing someone is there to witness you in your joy, your mess, and your becoming.

This is why community isn’t optional for me. It’s foundational.

Inside Temple of the Feminine Heart, community isn’t about conversation for the sake of it. It’s about intention, consistency, walking together over time.

When women gather with intention, something ancient awakens. We feel safer in our bodies, we soften. And we remember that we were never meant to carry life on our own.

If you’ve been missing that sense of belonging, that feeling of being surrounded, supported, and truly seen, this Temple was created with you in mind.

Since becoming a mother, I’ve had to get very honest about where I put my time and energy.

For the past couple of years, my work has lived mostly in retreats and 1:1 mentorships. As a mom running two businesses - and choosing not to have my little one in full-time daycare - working with fewer women, fewer events, and going deeper has become the most sustainable and aligned way for me to work.

At the same time, I’m deeply grateful for the years before that: leading yoga classes, workshops, and facilitating at Heal Play Love events (which I still do). Those spaces are where trust was built, where community formed, and where many of you first met my work.

Lately, I felt a clear pull to create something that sits in between.

Something deeper than a workshop or session - yet more accessible in time and investment than a retreat or 1-1 work.

So I’m really excited to share that I’m hosting a one-day retreat in Zurich on January 24th: Journey into the Feminine Heart.

A full day of feminine embodiment, breath, voice, dance, and sisterhood - held in the beautiful studio in the city.

If you’ve never experienced my work and want a taste of it, or if you’ve been part of this community and feel the call to return to the circle, I’d love to welcome you.

Lately, I’ve been navigating one of those moments where life clearly has other plans.

End of year meant deadlines everywhere - two new offers launching, our Heal Play Love New Year Festival, another HPL project coming online, plus mapping out my schedule for 2026.

And then… my son got very sick. And shortly after, so did I.
All he wanted was mama. And suddenly, everything else fell behind.

At first, it was hard. Frustrating. Stressful. I felt the pressure building - the urge to push, catch up, make it work anyway. But at some point, I had to surrender. To the fact that things weren’t going to unfold as planned. To the reality that my capacity was different in that moment. To the truth that no matter how important the work is, my son matters most.

Motherhood keeps teaching me this over and over again: surrender isn’t giving up - it’s softening into what is. The more I resist, the tighter everything feels. The more I accept, the more things actually start to settle.

This doesn’t mean it’s always easy. And it doesn’t mean I always get it right away.

But choosing perspective, again and again, has become a practice. Remembering what truly matters. Letting go of the illusion of control. Trusting that things can move forward even when they don’t move on my timeline.

If you’re in a season where plans are falling apart, capacity feels stretched, or life is asking you to slow down when you didn’t plan to - you’re not failing.
You might just be asked to surrender.
And sometimes, that’s the work.

This has honestly changed my life so, so much. 
My daily practice. 
I carve this time out for myself - I sit, I breathe, I journal, I feel my body. It’s the moment in my day where I meet myself without needing to show up for anyone else. 
This time is sacred to me. 
It’s a daily check-in, a place where I stay connected to my body and create space for whatever is present. Over time, that consistency has helped me feel more grounded, more resilient, and more like myself in everyday life. 
If you’re longing to feel more grounded, more connected, more held - maybe start with a few quiet minutes tomorrow. Let it be simple. Let it be yours 🤍

✨ And if you’re wanting to be supported in weaving rituals and daily devotion into your life in a gentle and sustainable way, I would love to welcome you inside Temple of the Feminine Heart. It’s where we deepen into this work together, with rhythm, sisterhood, and real support.

The feminine isn’t one thing - she’s many. And inside every woman, there are seasons, elements, and archetypes that shape how she loves, leads, rests, and rises.

This is the heart of Temple of the Feminine Heart: a year of remembering the different parts of you.

The rooted one. The soft one. The untamed one. The sovereign one. The intuitive one.

Each month, we move through an element and its archetype - not as concepts, but as lived practices that shift the way you show up in your daily life.

🌿 EARTH / The Mother— the part of you that feels grounded, safe, steady. 💧 WATER / The Lover — the part that feels, softens, and lets go. 🔥 FIRE / The Wild Woman — the part that awakens power, desire, and courage. 🌬️ AIR / The Queen — the part that brings clarity, love, and leadership. ✨ ETHER / The Priestess — the part that integrates everything into your way of being.

You don’t have to “become” these women. They already live inside you. The Temple simply helps you access them - one layer at a time.

If your body feels a pull reading this… trust it. That’s your feminine waking up.

One of the greatest teachings of my life has been this:
when we return to nature, we return to ourselves.

The seasons… the pauses… the letting go and rising again -
they aren’t outside of us.
They are how the feminine moves.

Somewhere along the way, many of us forgot.
We hardened. We sped up.
We learned to survive in a world faster than our hearts.

And yet, your body still remembers the old rhythm -
the slower one, the truer one.

✨ This is what we’ll come back to inside Temple of the Feminine Heart.

Even though the Temple isn’t held outdoors, nature is woven through every part of it.
The grounding of earth, the fluidity of water, the clarity of air, the transformative fire -
each element mirrors a part of you, guiding your return to what’s simple and deeply real.

Month by month, we move through these inner seasons together.
Softening. Rooting. Reclaiming. Remembering.

Not to “be better,” but to become more you.

If you feel the pull to return to your own pace, your own wisdom, your own body…

There’s something I’ve been carrying in my heart for a long time - and I finally get to share it with you. 
For years, through retreats, breathwork, and 1:1 work, I’ve watched women experience profound transformation - deep softness, clarity, joy, connection. 
And every time, I hear: “I wish I could live like this… not just feel it for a moment.” 
I’ve felt that too.
Because what we touch in those spaces is real - but without support, rhythm, and community, it’s hard to sustain in daily life. 
Not because we’re broken, but because we live in a world that moves faster than our hearts. 
What has helped me stay connected, again and again, are four things:
✨ a simple daily practice
✨ being held in spaces of growth
✨ sisterhood
✨ nature - rhythm, rest, beauty, truth

And so… I created a space that weaves all of this into real life.

🌹 Temple of the Feminine Heart
A 9-month intimate online community journey of remembrance, embodiment & heart-led living for women ready to feel nourished, connected & deeply alive.

Not a course.
Not something to “keep up with.”
A rhythm. A way of being.
A space to live what you’ve touched, not just visit it.

If something in you softens reading this… if there’s a longing to return to yourself, to slow down, to feel supported in sisterhood…

I would be honored to walk this path with you.
📩 Join the waitlist to receive first access + founding member pricing.
More details are in the link in my bio - dates, themes, guest facilitators and pricing will be shared soon.

Thank you for being here.
Thank you for trusting your heart.
There is so much more to come.

With so much love,
Nour Elise xx
