Hi, I’m Elani — a somatic healer, counselor, and eternal student of what it means to come home to ourselves.

My journey began as a teenager navigating anxiety and an eating disorder. The first therapist I saw didn’t feel like a fit, so I assumed therapy simply wasn’t for me. I carried that belief into my early twenties until I stumbled into the world of self-development and had my first real breakthrough. I finally saw how my inner narrative shaped my reality. It helped, but I knew mindset work wasn’t the whole picture.

I followed my curiosity into yoga and embodiment with a mentor in New York City, becoming fascinated by how the psyche and the body mirror one another. That insight shaped my graduate thesis and later deepened through work with a spiritual mentor and iridologist. In those years I experienced moments of synchronicity that taught me to trust my intuition more fully.

I began my own coaching practice, weaving together mindset work, body awareness, and guided meditation to help people reconnect to their inner truth. Over the past decade, I’ve supported hundreds of clients through this holistic and heart-centered approach.

A family member’s mental health crisis changed everything again. It opened my eyes to the depth of the psyche and how much more I wanted to understand. I found a therapist who finally felt like a fit, and his encouragement led me to pursue a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute.

Pacifica’s depth-oriented training profoundly shaped my work and taught me to listen for the soul’s language beneath symptoms and stories. Today, I integrate somatic therapy, depth psychology, and spiritual mentorship with individuals, couples, and groups. Whether we’re exploring intergenerational patterns, regulating the nervous system, or calling in new visions, my approach is grounded in embodiment, compassion, and curiosity.

I currently offer sessions via phone and telehealth and love guiding groups like The Chrysalis, where healing, body wisdom, and vision meet.
