When I lost my son, Joel, in 2017 to complications due to heroin/meth addiction, I entered a time of deep depression and utter hopelessness. When others tried to offer well-meaning support, they often tried to connect me with “their friend who lost their son in a car accident” or “someone whose child died after a tragic bout with cancer.”
It’s not the same.
There is a stigma associated with deaths of this kind and the judgment that says, “they did this to themselves” or a tendency to blame those who loved them. Those of us who have experienced this kind of loss understand there is no one-size-fits-all to working through grief.
Personalized Grief Support – Scheduled by you, on your timeline.
Some people prefer weekly “touchpoint” sessions, while for others, this is too much, too soon. You schedule your appointment via my personalized calendar. We will meet either by Zoom or, as many prefer, simply by phone.

I found my way to holistic wellness coaching and grief education after losing my mother and sister to cancer within six months of each other. Caring for them through their transitions forever changed me.
The healing journey can be difficult to travel alone. Whether you are grieving the loss of your loved one or a caregiver struggling with anticipatory grief, a Holistic Wellness Coach and Grief Educator can help you through the process. While the pain from losing a loved one will never completely go away, through a holistic process of self-discovery you can find peace and meaning. Please reach out to schedule a free virtual discovery session to see if I am the right fit for you.

I integrate the field of Health and Wellness Coaching based on positive psychology with Grief Education which focuses on emotional and physical needs of the clients/peers who are grieving.
I offer Grief talks through ZOOM/audio or video calls based on preferences for 30 mins to an hour.
In these sessions, my clients/peers and I have conversations about life and death which might bring awareness and clarity around these following topics: how to move through the pain while working through the feelings, how to navigate the daily life without the loved ones, is it possible to turn the pain into purpose, how to experience peace again!!
Conversations will be formed mostly by clients based on their experiences, their needs and expectations.

I do grief coaching with clients who have experienced loss. I have a special place in my heart for those who have suffered losses, because I know firsthand what it’s like to lose a loved one, having lost my precious 5-year-old daughter (Jackie) to an inoperable brain tumor. I know how extremely helpful a grief coach can be.
If you are struggling with grief, please contact me – I would like you help begin the process of healing! I offer grief coaching and counseling for individuals and in a group, either in person or via Zoom or FaceTime. I also am a Certified Celebrant and perform Celebration of Life Services.

Elana is one of a handful of Certified Financial Therapist™s in the US who solely focuses on financial therapy and coaching and also has a Certificate in Financial Planning®. She is also a Certified Grief Educator.
As a financial therapist, Elana helps clients with the emotional side of money as it relates to over or under-spending, clarity on financial goals, estate planning, inheriting money, being comfortable looking at and addressing their financial situation. As a result, her clients are able to take effective actions to achieve their financial goals and go from feeling avoidant to empowered about their finances.
Many of her clients also suffer from grief, which can have unique and profound effects on their feelings of identity, self-worth, and their relationship with money. Often people dealing with grief are in new situations where they must confront money matters directly, sometimes due to the loss of financial resources, sometimes related to inheritance, or other changes which can feel overwhelming and compound feelings of grief. Elana helps clients who are stuck in grief so they can both deal with money in a positive way and deal with their grief.
