    Elana’s Journey

    Elana’s passion for helping others is deeply rooted in her educational background and diverse experiences. She earned her Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology (Sofia University) and her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Entrepreneurship from California State University, Long Beach.

    Integrating Yoga and Psychotherapy

    How Elana Works

    Elana’s approach to therapy is characterized by warmth, empathy, intuition, and unconditional compassion.

    Elana believes in the natural capacity for growth, healing, and self-actualization that exists within everyone.

    Yoga and Healing Arts

    As a yoga teacher and healer, Elana encourages her students to soften, let go of doing, and simply be. In a world where our nervous systems are often overrun and our bodies disconnected, she offers a space to unplug, decompress, and activate the body’s natural healing capacities through conscious relaxation and breath-work.
