Her approach blends over 20 years of study in the fields of functional nutrition, gut health and microbiome science, emotional healing, mind-body medicine, trauma-informed care, and lifestyle wellness.

Ellena’s work is rooted in the belief that true healing doesn’t happen by fighting the body — it happens by listening to it.
She honors the body’s natural intelligence, guiding clients toward sustainable healing with compassion, clarity, and deep respect for their unique journey.

When she's not working with clients, you can often find Ellena tending to her kitchen creations — fermenting nourishing foods for her family, harvesting vegetables from her summer garden, or gathering eggs from her beloved backyard chickens.
She cherishes her time outdoors hiking the beautiful mountains and lake trails of western Colorado, and treasures every moment spent with her two precious grandbabies, who remind her daily why whole-body wellness matters so deeply.
