My name is Elana🌷🌳 (Pronounced: E, like the letter and lana, like our favorite summertime sadness girl, Lana Del Ray!)

I am 31 years old, love traveling all around the world, ecstatic dancing and letting loose, enjoying stand-up comedy, meditating, hiking and being in nature, collaging/crafting, and paving my own unique, freedom-full way through life ✨

The reason it is so important for me to share the magic of breathwork with the world is because of how radically it changed my life. Below is a snippet of my personal journey that I hope will illuminate what breathwork can do and give you the bravery to take your own personal journey too.

Ever since I was a child, I always felt different. I’ve always “marched to the beat of my own drum” and have been a nonconformist. As often happens in adolescence, I became increasingly aware of my interactions in the world and wanted to be socially accepted and liked by others. The desire to be accepted by others took me farther away from myself, no doubt leading to years of reoccurring social anxiety and depression. Since adolescence, I feel like I have lived several lifetimes- I moved to Israel by myself when I was 19 years old- where I lived for 9 years, I have felt immense fulfillment from so many special relationships and connections and I have had countless peak-experiences as well as difficult challenges from navigating foreign cultures and unique situations. I am truly blessed and grateful for the amount of experiences and opportunities I have had in this life. And yet, even with all the learnings from this activity and motion, there is nothing that brought me closer to myself than breathwork.

Breathwork allowed me to connect to parts of myself that were abandoned and wounded. As brave as I had been in external interactions in my life, I finally had to bravely encounter and deal with my internal world. The body archive: where the energy from repressed emotions, traumas and ancestral wounds live within us, mostly hidden from our conscious mind. Breathwork gave me the opportunity to open up my body’s archive and finally give attention, love and care where it was needed. As I breathed through the things that came up, more and more fragmented parts of myself that I had ignored and suppressed could be restored to wholeness. After so many years of trying to get approval with others in the outside world, breathwork allowed me to return home and find belonging, trust and love with myself.

Breathwork also reminds me, on a deep spiritual level, that we are not alone in this world. No matter how different we feel (and I have always felt) from those around us, we are all connected beings experiencing this world together. This knowing hasn’t only alleviated a wound within me, it has also changed my awareness of our world and how to operate in it.

💛 Now I am here to hold space with tender love and care for you, as you go on your inner journey. Scroll to the next page to learn more…

Breathwork will take you deeper into yourself, provide a safe container to release what you have been holding on to unnecessarily and allow you to embrace a lighter, freer, and more resilient version of yourself.

This type of breathwork can lead to soul-stirring revelations, and may feel a little 'trippy'! But there are no psychedelics involved in this inward journey; we are simply oxygenating the brain and body.

Together we will do meditations, connection exercises, explore different breathing patterns, practice breath retentions, and have space for sharing.

Some things to keep in mind:
🌸 Sessions require 1.5 hours at a minimum.
🌸 Breathwork should be done in a comfortable space, where you have privacy, space to lie down, and won’t be distracted.
🌸 I am someone who travels often :) Let’s connect to see when we are in the same location and can meet in-person! In case we are far in distance, we can always have sessions online over Zoom!
🌸 I facilitate private sessions from my apartment in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. My apartment can comfortably fit 3 breathers lying down. I am also happy to come to your home.
🌸 It is important to me to keep breathwork affordable and accessible. I have a sliding scale to accommodate you.

I am so excited to guide you towards achieving more freedom, wisdom, resiliency and love in your life.
