We found Elena to be welcoming, thoughtful, understanding and extremely knowledgeable. Her passion for nutrition and healthy living is inspiring! We are looking forward to meeting with her again.

The Soup and Stock class was worth every penny plus the drive from Dallas. The three hours was packed with valuable nutritional cooking advice and tips for making healthy, tasty soups. Your beautiful porch with the view of the garden was the perfect setting. You were so organized, I could tell you put a lot of thought and planning into the class and I appreciate you giving us the recipes for the three soups which were the best I have ever had.

A true understanding of nutrition in today’s world is a rarity. At the Centre Vida Birth Center meet-up group, Elena combined old world techniques and western ideas in a great discussion of diet. I really enjoyed her in depth knowledge and thinking outside the box. Several times I have read over the articles and links on her website, and also recommended it to family.

Upon entering Elena’s kitchen, the savory aromas tantalized my taste buds. Elena enticed us with tastes and secrets into the art of soup making, all sprinkled with stories of her childhood in Ukraine. The "melt in your mouth" soups soothed and satisfied my growling belly, which is like riches for an 8 months pregnant woman. For a couple of hours on a Saturday, we were like family members treated to these delectable delights prepared with heart and soul.

I can't say enough about Elena's wisdom regarding diet and nutrition. She is an enlightened young women clearly born to teach the natural ways of the world and our human connection to nature. I had both nutritional consults with Elena and taken a cooking class where I learned to prepare borsht from her native land Ukraine, the best miso soup ever put in my mouth, and a hearty fish soup . . . all delicious and full of pure healing nutrition! As an alternative and complementary healthcare professional myself, I whole-heartedly recommend Elena's nutritional consults as well as her healing foods cooking classes. You will learn beyond any expectation!

I recently took Elena's "Soups and Broths" class and I highly recommend it. Her class was very informative and the best part was eating the delicious soups at the end! Elena is very passionate about good food and its role in creating and maintaining a healthy body, and she is clearly living her higher purpose by teaching these classes. I have a fantasy about getting rich and hiring Elena to be my personal chef, but until then, I'll just have to keep taking cooking classes from her! Yum!

I felt very confident in the QRA session that Elena gave me. It helped to identify the key areas of health for me to focus on and then identify which supplements would help address the problem. Elena gave me a very thorough session. She also helped my sister in 5 minutes figure out what doctors could not figure out for months. After taking the supplements, my sister improved her energy and focus within a few days. Thank you, Elena!

I thought that we were eating really well over the past several years. Our produce is usually organic and we eat many grains and legumes. I love spending time in the kitchen. When I made an appointment with Elena I was just hoping to get reassurance that what I was cooking for my family was indeed the healthiest food. I also had many questions about the health foods that have been popularized over the past years. I was surprised by how much I didn't know! She gave me simple tips for maximizing the health benefits of the foods my family already loves to eat. My husband used to get a really bloated feeling after eating beans, oats and other grains. Since I have been preparing our grains according to Elena's advice, none of us have experienced any stomach discomfort from eating the same foods that didn't agree with us before! Elena also helped us dispel many myths and misconceptions about the foods that nourish and those that starve our bodies.

I have lived most of my life in a kind of mental fog. I found myself searching for common words and forgetting things all the time. At times my energy levels were so low that I would crash on the couch for an entire day. I am usually a pretty active guy and I am only 34. I never knew that the food I was eating was breaking me down! I have an underactive thyroid and I was making matters worse by the food choices I made every day. After eating fish soups, good quality meat, eggs and dairy for a few weeks my brain fog has lifted! Elena gave me a lot of no-brainer information I could put into practice right away. You don't have to be a chef to eat well!
