Hey There,
I'm Elena
I have dedicated a decade to serving in non-profit and public service as an executive assistant. Throughout my career, I found myself prioritizing others' needs while neglecting my own. It was a journey marked by shattered boundaries and a voice initially unheard.
Realizing the critical need for self-care, I began speaking up, understanding that no one else would advocate for me. This journey out of burnout has led me to unexpected personal growth, reshaping both my body and mind in ways I never imagined possible.
Now, I am passionate about creating resources to support others who resonate with this experience, helping them navigate their own paths to recovery and holistic well-being.
