Hi I'm ELENA, I Help High-Achieving Women Stop Doubting Themselves and Finally Become Who They Were Created to Be
If You're Here, You're Probably Exhausted
You've done the work. Read
the books. Attended the
workshops. Tried the medi-
tations, the affirmations,
the strategies.
And yet...something is
still missing.
You know you're meant for more. You can feel it in your soul. But that voice, the one that whispers you're not enough, not ready, not worthy, keeps winning.
Here's what I know: That voice is lying to you.
And I know this because I spent most of my life believing the exact same lie.
This is who I was...
For 26 years, I lived in a
nightmare. I experienced almost
daily abuse (physical, verbal,
and eventually sexual) from the
time I was a small child. I was
beaten. I was told I was worth-
less. I was made to believe that
my pain was punishment for
being a "bad" child.
By the time I left home at 26,
I wasn't just damaged.
I was destroyed at my core.
I literally felt I had no worth. None. I couldn't see any value in myself, any reason to exist.
I prayed every night NOT to wake up.
At 30, I had a complete breakdown. I checked myself into a Christian clinic, where I was diagnosed with PTSD and Histrionic personality disorder (I wasn't surprised). They may have given me diagnoses, but what I really had was a shattered soul and no idea who I was underneath all that pain.
But here's the thing: that breakdown saved my life.
Because something shifted; Instead of praying to disappear, I prayed for help. And help came.
Why I Became a Coach (And Why It Matters to You)
My journey from surviving trauma to becoming a life coach for women wasn't about having all the answers—it was about healing deeply enough to guide others through their own transformation.I went into coaching because I had been to hell and found my way back, and I couldn't stop thinking about all the women who were still there, still suffering, still believing the lie that they weren't enough.
My entire life's journey has been about reclaiming myself from the programming of failure. Learning to understand who I really am at my core.
Rediscovering my worth, and where worth actually comes from (spoiler: not from what you do, what you achieve, or who approves of you).
Learning to love myself. Learning to forgive myself for all the wrong ways I tried to fill up an empty, hurting heart.
Because here's what I discovered: Until we truly love ourselves, we will always be approaching life from that basic need, expecting people or things to fill the void.
And nothing can fill that void except you. Your own love. Your own acceptance. Your own recognition of the truth.

Here's What Changed Everything for Me
I invested everything I had (over $250,000 and 35+ years) in understanding how we work. How trauma shapes us. How the brain creates patterns. How the ego protects us but also keeps us small. How the soul knows the truth even when the mind doesn't.
I studied with everyone: Tony Robbins. Wayne Dyer. Institute for Self Actualization. Landmark Education. Energy work. Quantum physics. Rage workshops where I could finally let out decades of stored pain. Inner child healing. Meditation. Therapy.
I left no stone unturned.
And slowly, layer by layer, I began to unravel the lies I'd been taught about who I was and what I was worth.
But even after all that work, life tested me again.
In 2016, I lost everything in six months. My 17-year relationship. My home. My two beloved dogs. My mother. At 58, I moved back in with my father (the same man who had once terrorized me) and I was shattered.
That was my darkest hour. And also, somehow, the beginning of my greatest transformation.
Because when there's nothing left to hold onto, you finally reach for yourself.
What I Believe (And Why It Matters)
I am of the belief that when we discover our true nature, the nature of the soul, nd see it as the beautiful essence by which God created it, we can then finally know humanity.
Not the version of humanity that judges, compares, and competes.
But the truth: that we are all connected. That we all matter. That love changes everything.
Real transformation isn't about fixing what's broken. It's about remembering what was always whole.
It's about moving from ego to heart. From fear to love. From surviving to fully living.
And that's what I do. I help women remember.
I help you see the beautiful essence that's been there all along, buried under the programming, the pain, the fear, the stories you've been told about who you should be.
I help you come home to yourself.

What Makes Working With Me Different
I don't just understand your pain—I've lived it. Deeply. For decades.
When you work with me, you're not working with someone who's read about trauma in a textbook. You're working with someone who has climbed out of hell and knows every step of the journey.
I've invested 37+ years and over a quarter million dollars in my own healing. I've studied with the best. I've synthesized it all into a clear, proven path I call the Empowered You method, a 12-week structured process that combines leadership principles, spiritual depth, and transformational psychology.
But here's my real gift ➡➡ I see who you really are before you see it yourself.
One of my clients, Amber, said it perfectly: "Elena saw something in me, and helped me finally see it in myself."
That's what I do. I hold the vision of your wholeness until you can hold it yourself.
I'm nurturing, and I hold you accountable. I won't let you settle. I won't let you play small. I'll love you fiercely and push you gently. I'll offer you new perspectives while helping you realize you already have all the answers within you—you just needed permission to trust them.
When you work with a transformational coach who has lived experience with trauma recovery and personal transformation, you're not just getting strategies—you're getting someone who truly understands every step of the journey.

Who I am Right Now...
I've been coaching since 2000—over 25 years now. I work with clients throughout the country, and I've helped hundreds of high-achieving women overcome self-doubt and turn around their businesses, relationships, and lives.
I facilitate Vision Board workshops.
I lead my Empowered You group coaching program and I work one-on-one with women who are ready to stop surviving and start thriving
.My book, ENOUGH, will soon be released on Amazon—a deeply personal guide to breaking free from limitations and stepping into full empowerment.
But honestly? The credentials don't matter as much as this: I've been where you are. And I know the way out.
Some Things About Me
Who I am beyond coaching:
A tree hugger. Actually, an everything hugger. A nurturer at heart who runs toward anyone who needs loving. An Italian transplant. A proud zia (auntie) to seven nieces and nephews. Someone who has experienced the transformation from being painfully stuck in ego to living primarily from my heart.
My three biggest life challenges:
Surviving 28 years of abuse and learning to forgive and love
Overcoming the devastation of a broken marriage
Rebounding from losing my 17-year relationship, my home, my three dogs, my security, and my mother—all within six months
If I could change ONE thing before I transition:
I would elevate the collective consciousness so we all know and feel that we are all connected, that we all matter, and that love changes everything
What angers me most:
The staggering number of teenage suicides. Parents not being present. People giving up on their dreams. The amount of unrealized potential. The way the ego disconnects people from their souls and keeps them from realizing their true essence.
