About Elana

She specializes in helping empathic and sensitive folks put an end to emotional exhaustion, drain and overwhelm, heal their past pain and trauma and reclaim their confidence so that they can experience true peace and happiness and navigate through the world with ease.
After decades of personal exploration, self-reflection, spiritual practice, work with all sorts of healers and modalities, and even going to therapy, Elana wondered why she still struggled with sometimes debilitating depression and had to work so hard to be happy. Not finding satisfactory answers from those she turned to for help, she embarked on her own personal quest that brought her to revelations, insights and understanding that helped her transform her inner turmoil and to assist others in doing the same.

When not travelling the world sharing her message and her healing gifts, Elana lives in the beautiful town of Moab Utah.
"My life has not been without struggle or challenge. Any wisdom or knowledge I have to share comes to me though my own grappling with the challenging stuff of life, with depression and loss, with loneliness and despair, with confusion and existential angst. With the pain of feeling different and longing to find a place where I feel like I belong. Sometimes my own healing and transformation has been motivated by wanting something more from life, by my deep desire for peace and true happiness and to find my true place in the world. Sometimes the only thing motivating me has been that I don't want to suffer anymore. My journey has offered me a deep space for connection and empathy with the human struggles in each of us as well as unique understanding and wisdom around how to transform difficult places to find more happiness, peace, ease and joy and to share the gift of who we truly are."
A Little Bit of My Story:
For most of my life I felt like there was something uniquely wrong with me that wasn't wrong with anyone else. I just felt different.
I spent decades of my life struggling with my emotional health and with depression and often wondered why I seemed to have to work so much harder than other people just to feel sane and happy...
I was a pro at personal development, at self-reflection, at searching every nook and cranny of my being for any shortcoming or limitation I was creating... of "working on my stuff" and truly dedicated to my self-transformation and healing.
But shoot, after twenty plus years, I didn't seem to have any less "stuff". I still struggled with sometimes debilitating depression and my life still wasn't really working all that well for me...
I considered myself reasonably smart, conscious and deeply self-reflective. I seemed to be doing all the "right" things that seemed to work for other people but somehow they just didn't seem to work for me and I just couldn't understand what I was missing!
WELL, I finally discovered a few things that either no one else knew or they just didn't know to tell me, because they permanently changed my life and put me on the path to truly finding my own happy!
Some of the things I thought were the most wrong with me have turned out to be some of my greatest gifts and abilities...
