ABOUT ME

Hi, I’m Elena.

Clarification Coach. Trainer. Facilitator. Public Speaker. Radical Listener.

I help people find clarity when life gets messy.

I help people find their voice, repair relationships, build confidence, and clarify their sense of direction. 

Radical listening means giving someone your full, non-judgmental attention — not just to their words, but to everything around them: their hesitations, silences, shifts in tone, what they can’t quite say.

It’s not about fixing, analysing, or offering advice (unless asked). It’s about witnessing.

Radical listening creates a space where people can finally hear themselves — often more clearly than ever before.

 

Some people come to me because they’re facing a big decision.

Some come because they’re burned out, overwhelmed, or wondering where their energy went.

Others are stuck in long-standing patterns they thought they’d already dealt with.

I help people draw boundaries without guilt, speak without apology, and choose what really matters.

My background blends 20+ years of coaching and training with cross-cultural expertise, creative problem-solving, and deep emotional inquiry. I work in English, Italian, and French with people from all walks of life.

What my clients have in common is this:

They’re articulate. They reflect. They’ve done the work.  

And yet… something’s not shifting.

That’s where Clarification comes in.

CLARIFICATION COACHING

This is the heart of my work. 

Clarification is a powerful,
structured process that works with the whole of you: thoughts, emotions, experiences.
It helps you …

Uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface

Distinguish past from present

Surface what’s unsaid and explore what it mean

Reconnect with your own clarity and courage

Clarification isn’t about managing thoughts or applying techniques. It’s a deeper kind of shift, one that involves your whole system: your brain, your body, and your emotions. 

It gives you space to process things fully and arrive at your own clarity, without pressure, advice, or diagnosis.

You don’t need fixing. You need space to feel what you feel, notice what you notice, and hear what your body and emotions are already trying to say. 

Clarification creates that space, with compassion, curiosity, and
acceptance.
