#260 | TAKE THE MIC | FINDING THE WORDS TO HEAL THE ANGER | Elena Sánchez Martín

In today's Take the Mic episode, we hand our mic over to Elena.

Elena bravely shares her experience of matrescence, and her vision now for her work - and in particular, her desire to create a space for the mothers in her community and in her country to be vulnerable about their own experience, free from judgement.

But as she asks so beautifully in this episode... how can you create that for others when you don't even have the words for it yourself yet?

How can you support other women's experience of anger, maternal rage, overwhelm and inner doubt, when you are still unsure where it has come from yourself?

And so, like so many of these phenomenal women, she started with herself.

Elena Sánchez Martín is a dance and movement therapist, Mama Rising Facilitator, and founder of Mamasenda, an emerging mother support project based in Northern Germany. Through her body-oriented therapy, coaching, and workshops, Elena helps mothers find their path to a fulfilling and self-determined everyday life. With her work, she aims to contribute to the cultural and social change needed for mothers to be seen, valued, and supported as she believes they deserve: with respect and without the pressure of unattainable ideals.

Elena lives in Bremen with her 3-year-old daughter and her husband. She loves dance, small improvised daily rituals, and the changing seasons that remind her that life has its ups and downs but light always follows darkness. Elena is driven by a strong will to create a more peaceful world for our children and future generations.

If you want to know more about Elena and Mamasenda, please visit her website, follow her on Instagram and feel free to get in touch! Please note that both Website and social media are in German, since she is not (yet) offering her work on-line.
