— Andria, Educator
Working with Elana for the last 3 years has been an absolute gift. I never have to worry about how my online events will go, I know she will be on it 200%, bring the right energy, sense the different personalities, and notice when we need to switch things off. The only thing better than her online work is her offline facilitation. Her energy is contagious and she is so quick to know what to do when, adapt and react to whatever situation you can fully relax and focus on delivering your content, knowing your audience will laugh together, dance together, reflect, share and genuinely connect through Elana’s magic.
