You can't change
The past, but you can shape your future."

HI! I'M

Elaina

Hello, my name is Elaina (or Lena), and I’m an American expat living in Riyadh and also working in Jeddah. I’m here to be a trusted friend and support for you. Regardless of where you’re from, all women have parts of their stories they wish they could change or erase. Although I can’t change the past, I can help you process and find hope again after grief. One of my greatest joys is seeing women find hope and healing despite their circumstances.

Pathways to Healing
& Growth

Group Sessions

Group trauma care sessions are structured therapeutic environments where individuals who have experienced trauma come together to share, process, and heal collectively.

Individual Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a type of therapy that helps individuals process and heal from traumatic memories. Through guided eye movements.

Unique Retreats

What Others Are Saying...

“My time with Elaina couldn’t have come at a better time when I was making a huge transition in life as well as deal with old pains and how they presented in my life. It was a great time of awareness and finding some space to give myself understanding while pushing me to grow from the pain not use it to stay the same. She is easy to talk to and such a delight to have in your corner!”

“Elaina has a vast wealth of knowledge when it comes to how to address, work through, and heal from trauma. While coaching a community of trauma healing practitioners, she had great insight in how to approach a variety of trauma scenarios, how to best support our clients, and how to be healthy practitioners ourselves. She is a kind, empathetic life-long learner who I would recommend to anyone.”
