We were lucky to catch up with Elena Herrera recently and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Elena thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. If you had a defining moment that you feel really changed the trajectory of your career, we’d love to hear the story and details.

I never ever thought in my entire life that I would be a spiritual healer. I graduated with Finance and Marketing degrees from ASU. This is the direction i thought my life should’ve headed. But I struggled to find a job in the finance field. So, I switched to real estate, but that came to an end a couple of years later. Shortly after I met a personal trainer. She thought me how to take care of my body. I trained with her consistently to get to the desired shape. At the same time she introduced me to fitness competitions and modeling. I loved it so much that I ended up becoming a personal trainer myself. I was really happy to help others to get in shape and have a healthy lifestyle. So, here I was living my life – fit body, perfect health, financial freedom, gratifying job, large circle of friends, beautiful home, awesome car, and ability to do anything i want in life. And while my life was perfect on the outside, I felt lonely, unsettled, and unhappy on the inside.

This realization started me on my quest for personal fulfillment and meaning. It was that strong longing for deeper connection to self, Divine and life that “forced” me to seek a higher purpose.

As a result, I dove into the intensive studies of personal development, became a certified life coach, as well as studied different other forms of healing such as quantum angel healing, core energetics, bioenergetics, chakras system, reiki, and others.

The more inner work/healing i was doing, the more I could see my own transformation. I finally understood that a true fulfillment was an inside job and not what and how much I had on the outside.

Becoming self-aware was the beginning of the most rewarding and fulfilling journey in my life.

I was so blown away by the vastness of the wisdom and Divine connection available to me.

I am happy to say that after a long quest I am finally serving my higher purpose – to awaken to the truth of what I really am and to awaken this same truth within others.

In other words I guide people to connect and embody their authentic Self… to understand their unconscious patterns… to love and respect their body… to deepen their connection with others… to understand their purpose… to live the fullest expression of who they really are.

Today I invite you on a deep personal journey, where life is no longer a string of disconnected experiences of pleasure and pain, or frantic action that is inevitably followed by exhaustion – but a flow you can navigate with confidence and power. I will guide you into deep and intimate understanding of yourself so that you can make choices that are in alignment with your True Self. And once you approach your life from that place, you will experience more balanced radiance and ease, and fully embody the beauty and magnificence of YOU!

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers

My work is a manifestation of my own journey, journey from self-abandonment to healing. I had to heal my own inner blocks in order to be an example for others.

Without gradually learning to embrace – and overcome – my own painful past, I would not feel qualified , or have the adequacy to teach others about life, no matter how many degrees and certifications I have.

My own journey has given me empathy, understanding and compassion for others. These are the foundation of my work today.

My philosophy and teachings are based on the belief that each of us is a house with four rooms: Emotional, Spiritual, Physical and Mental. Unless one consistently visits every room on a daily basis, one is not a complete person. It is the full integration and embodiment of these four rooms that bring healing on a cellular level, create a total wellbeing, and return us to our wholeness. The wholeness that is already within us!

I meet a lot of people who read countless self-help books, attend workshops, see therapists, but there is a point where their transformation hits a dead point and they cannot move pass it. This is because you cannot address the issue on mental and/or emotional level alone. You have to include physical body and spirituality into the equation.

The body is the key to understanding behavior and working with the body is the key to psychological health.

I help you explore the issues that are blocking the forward momentum in your life through intuition, body reading and somatic work involving movement, breath work, visualization, and touch. With time you become aware of and move energy in your body as well as explore your full spiritual potential.

Doing this work will bring consciousness to how you block your life energy by perpetuating defensive survival patterns adapted in childhood which keep you limited and disempowered.
You will discover how your life and worldview is to a large extent a function of these blocked energy patterns. These patterns keep you recreating similar life situations and relational dynamics, leaving you trapped and frustrated.

If you could go back in time, do you think you would have chosen a different profession or specialty?

Absolute!!! 100%

Putting training and knowledge aside, what else do you think really matters in terms of succeeding in your field?

it is crucial for me to do my own inner work so I don’t project my own needs, fears, doubts, limiting beliefs, and agenda onto my clients. This allows clients to have their own unique process and authentic expression. This is when a true healing happens.
