I have had the privilege of experiencing Efu's transformative work in both family constellations and somatic experiencing—as a client, student, assistant, and coordinator. Her teachings, presence, and way of being continue to inspire me and shape my personal and professional growth.
In January 2022, I joined Efu's team of assistants during the first BIPOC Somatic Experiencing (SE) training—a historic moment addressing a significant collective need. Her unique approach to SE through the BIPOC lens has been profoundly enriching and healing across transgenerational, collective, organizational, and personal levels.
Efu’s wisdom, joy, generosity, and commitment to serving others resonate deeply within me. She transforms lives through her work and inspires everyone fortunate enough to learn from her.

I just completed my Somatic Experiencing Advanced Level Training with the incredible teacher Efu Nyaki, and my heart is overflowing with gratitude. Efu is not just a teacher—she is a true model of presence, love, compassion, humor, depth, and authentic being.
Watching Efu, learning from her, absorbing her way of being, I was reminded again of that healing is possible. There is hope. Connection is real. Life can run through us again.
Since forever there has been a longing in me. A longing in me. A longing not for “ready made and served” answers, not for someone to lead me, but for a presence that resonates so deeply that something in me remembers itself.

I was introduced to Efu through a friend after surviving a fatal car accident that left me with debilitating PTSD. I felt disconnected, lost, and unsure if I’d ever feel whole again. Efu guided me through Somatic Experiencing (SE) and family constellation work with extraordinary patience, insight, and intuitive wisdom.
Through her care, I began to feel safe in my body again—something I never thought possible. What began as a search for healing became a transformative journey of growth and self-discovery. I had always been drawn to family constellation work, and learning it through Efu was nothing short of life-changing.
She brings clarity, presence, and depth to her teaching and practice that is both profound and deeply restorative. I am endlessly grateful for her guidance.
For anyone seeking deep healing or a meaningful way to learn family constellation work, I cannot recommend Efu highly enough. Her gift is real.
