My name is Elena, and I was born in 1970 in Leningrad, growing up in Germany. After completing my master's degree at Humboldt University in Berlin, where I studied Russian and American studies, I found my way into the world of filmmaking. Initially working as a freelancer, I later became self-employed and established my own film production company.
My journey towards a healthier lifestyle began early on after being diagnosed with hypothyroidism, which later developed into Hashimoto's, an autoimmune thyroid disease. Dealing with the illness opened my eyes to the significance of nutrition for my well-being.

I started to understand the crucial connection between the food we eat and our health.
About 10 years ago, a job opportunity for my husband led us to Barcelona, where we have been living with our children ever since. It was from here that our long-planned sailing journey to the Caribbean began, which, due to the unforeseen impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, lasted for two years. Onboard, my main responsibilities included managing the crew's nutrition and health. After a long voyage, dropping anchor, going ashore, and discovering exotic fruits and vegetables at local markets were truly wonderful experiences. Living in various countries required me to adapt to different foods and cooking styles repeatedly. I take pleasure in cooking, love to improvise, and enjoy experimenting with various ingredients.
Upon our return, I decided to deepen my enthusiasm for healthy nutrition and embark on a new career as an integrative nutrition consultant. Over a period of two years, I studied at the University of Educative Medicine in Moscow and obtained diplomas in integrative and clinical nutrition.
For me, integrative nutrition consulting is more than just a profession—it is my true passion. Sharing my scientifically grounded knowledge and providing practical tools to help clients change their habits brings me joy. My goal is to empower them to find their own personal, healthy lifestyle.
I look forward to guiding people on their journey to a more conscious and healthier life. If you seek support, I am here to help.
