A Russian-born visionary who after 25 years of intense soul-searching is now sharing her insights on the mechanisms and tools for creating our own reality.

Elena had her first formal training in Russia at the College of Arts in theater. Since 1982 working closely with the waterbirth pioneer Igor Charkovsky, she moved on to organizing birth camps at

the Black Sea and delivering babies amidst wild dolphins. Together, they launched a program of natural delivery and birth trauma release for adults as well as for babies.

At the same time she was working wholeheartedly as a facilitator in business seminars called "Games", that were extremely effective in bringing economic changes to the USSR. Also, she was simultaneously involved in "Citizen Diplomacy" - an underground organization created with the purpose of putting an end to the Cold War.

Elena has a beautiful teenage daughter, who is a constant source of her mom's inspiration. :)

Well, now allow me to introduce myself informally. I am a Russian woman with an Italian last name, living in California… My journey - the story of my own healing - has become the poster child for my work.

I graduated from the College of Arts in Russia in 1980 as an actor. After working in a theater for 9 months I had a powerful realization that all my training in performing arts was about my skills to act as somebody else. It left me with no identity of my own! When I was not playing something I was not, I did not know who I was! Throughout the years of my theater school I was taught that it takes a lot of talent to pretend to be somebody else. The realization that happened to me was that it takes a lot more of a talent to stop pretending. I left the stage and never looked back.

Ever since then I was engaged in many very different activities in economical, political, spiritual fields of Russian reality. They all had a common theme for me. Whatever area I was focused on, - it was the energy of a breakthrough that I was after. Surrealistic twilight absurdity of Mother Russia was calling for some changes!

Nine years later another powerful realization occurred! It suddenly became clear to me where I needed a breakthrough the most was in my own personal life! I was looking into my new baby’s beautiful eyes, freshly out of my 6th marriage. Changing the world around me and trying to save the humankind did not pay in family-valued currency; it did not make up for me not being present in my body.

I stopped everything, moved to America and started my life from scratch, again. I had to learn to speak a new language, to drive, to do the shopping “American style”, to be a mother, but most of all to figure out, finally, who or what and why I am. When I remove the ways of identifying myself through my activities or belief systems, what’s left..?

Gradually, I’ve obtained an infinite fascination with such a complex “event” as a human being. As that is exactly how I perceive any individual I’ve ever met on my path – as a multidimensional, ever-evolving event, - not as solid, “carved-in-stone” object. I see myself as a curious, shape-shifting, little explorer, moving through the vastness of our Universe… I found it a comfortable place to be and enjoy any kind of activity, even if I’d wish to return to my theatrical career, I can do that without causing myself any damage.
