Elena Hartwell
Founder & lead practitioner
A reparenting and trauma-informed practitioner who started Reweave after fifteen years watching people get handed coping tips instead of care.
About the studio
We built the place we wished existed when we needed help.
Reweave started with a stubborn belief: that the inner work, the practical fight for what you are owed, and the rebuilding of a self you like are all the same project. Most places only do one. We do all three, gently.
Why we exist
Dignity is the through-line.
Whether someone comes to us to reparent an anxious inner child, to finally get the disability ID that unlocks the support they need, or to rebuild confidence after a hard few years, the underlying ask is the same: help me feel like a whole person again.
So we refuse the parts of wellbeing that quietly shame people. No jargon walls. No making you feel like a problem to be managed. Just steady, capable people who take your situation seriously and stay practical about it.
What we hold to
Four commitments, kept out loud.
i. Trauma-informed by default
We move at the pace of safety. Nothing in a session is designed to overwhelm you into progress, and you set the boundaries.
ii. Practical over performative
If a problem can be solved with a form, a script, or a phone call, we help you do that. Insight is not the same as relief.
iii. Access for real
We hold sliding-scale spots every month and design every session to work for the bodies and minds actually in the room.
iv. Honest about our edges
We are a studio, not a clinic. When you need medical or crisis care, we say so plainly and help you find it.
The people
A small team, on purpose.
We keep the studio small so that the person who answers your first call is the person who walks the path with you.
