Testimonials
“Elena is patient, kind, and listens carefully as we discuss health and nutrition matters. She helps set realistic goals and takes into consideration life’s situations that impact the process. Her check-ins are thorough, and the overviews she provides after the check-ins are great tools to have for reference so I can keep on track. If you need support from someone with expertise and a kind heart to help you on your healing journey, Elena can be just what you need.”

“I completed Elena’s one month vegan and fitness challenge. Both the meal plan and the workout plan were simple and very easy to follow. How to make your meal healthy and well balanced is something I learned from this experience that I can apply to my everyday life. I noticed a big change in my body the first week just from eating so clean. I love that that I could do most of my workouts at home. It was challenging enough but not too hard, I never had to give up in the middle of it. Once it got easier for me to do the workout plan towards the end, I made it harder just by doing more. It was very easy to adjust and find what worked for me. Eating healthy and exercising will lead you to have a happy mind, which was the biggest change I saw in me. I felt motivated, energized, and strong during the challenge. Loved it!”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about aerial class-and especially about Elena. Walking in, I had very little experience and honestly wasn’t sure what I’d be capable of. But from the very first moment, Elena created such a welcoming, supportive, and energizing environment that all my nerves quickly melted away. What truly stood out was her ability to break down complex movements into simple, achievable steps. She celebrated every small victory with genuine enthusiasm, which made me feel seen and encouraged throughout the class. She has an incredible talent for meeting each student where they are and helping them build confidence from the ground up. By the end of the first session, I not only learned actual skills I never thought I’d be able to do-but I also left feeling proud, strong and inspired to keep going. That sense of accomplishment is entirely thanks to Elena’s patience, positivity, and passion for teaching. If you’re even slightly curious about aerial-whether you are a beginner like I was or just looking to try something new-it’s an absolute gift. I’m so grateful for the experience and can’t wait to come back for more.”

“A group of girlfriends and I decided to try an aerial class as something fun and different to do. we had such a fantastic time, and I even went back with another group of friends because it was just that great. It was a challenge for the mind and body in the best way. I used muscles I didn’t even know I had. Getting your body to do what your mind is telling it in mid-air was such a unique experience. Elena was a fantastic and patient teacher. I never would have thought my 42-year-old, out of shape body could do the things it did, but somehow Elena managed to make it happen.”
