Elena began studying Shamanism while preparing to hold space for her father dying of brain cancer. As a yoga teacher, and character comedienne, she turned to her inner sacred play to navigate the divine space that death offers us.
After her father’s passing, she studied Death Midwifery and energy medicine. These years of deep study have led her to synthesize the tools she gained in the spiritual space to offer them to students worldwide through her Book “Grieve Outside the Box”, speaking events, private sessions, and Griefcation™ retreats.
