Welcome to River Medicine Healing!
Hello! — I’m Eleni.
I am an online Yin Yoga instructor and Shamanic Practitioner. It is my heart's mission to help individuals alchemize pain into power through the transformation of Yin Yoga and Shamanic Healing.
Whether you're moving through heartbreak, navigating life's transitions or seeking clarity, comfort or support, I offer a grounded space for you to reconnect and traverse the terrains of change with care and kindness.
Through private, virtual, one-on-one sessions in both Shamanic Energy Healing and Yin Yoga, these offerings are held with the intention of creating balance, release and renewed strength for the body, mind, and spirit.
For those drawn to learn more about Shamanism, I also offer personalized Shamanic Mentorship sessions. In these coaching sessions, we’ll explore your unique goals and I’ll coach you in specialized practices and techniques to deepen your connection and growth to the realm of Spirit.
Shamanic Healing
My journey to the Healing Arts began as a student of the Chakra system. As my curiosity for this energy system guided me to study and learn more, my fascination for Shamanism began.
I became a student of the Peruvian Medicine Wheel (as taught by Alberto Villoldo). After the completion of my initial Shamanic training, I have since gone on to study other facets of Shamanism including in-depth Psychopomp work.
What is Shamanic Healing?
Shamanic Healing is a spiritual practice rooted in ancient traditions that focuses on restoring harmony to an individual's life by addressing imbalances in their energy field.
This style of energetic healing work addresses not just the symptoms but the underlying causes of issues, considering physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of a person’s life.
How Can It Help You?
Release Stagnant Energy: If you’re feeling weighed down by past experiences or difficult emotions, Shamanic Healing can help clear these blockages, creating space for renewed energy.
Restore Balance: By working with the body's energy centers (or Chakras), Shamanic Healing helps rebalance internal energy and thus enhances overall well-being.
Reconnect with Your Purpose: Through practices like Soul Retrieval and Destiny Retrieval, you can gain clarity on your life’s purpose and reconnect with your inner strengths and intuitive guidance.
Remove Obstacles: Whether it's cutting energetic ties that no longer serve you or removing negative influences, Shamanic Healing can help you overcome barriers and move forward with greater ease.
What to Expect in a Session:
Each 90-minute virtual session is tailored to your unique needs. Here’s what might happen during a session:
Energy Clearing: We will work to clear any stuck energy from your energy centers (Chakras).
Personalized Practices: Depending on what you need, your session may include techniques such as Soul Retrieval (to reclaim lost parts of yourself), Power Animal Retrieval (to connect with the power of an animal spirit), Cord Cutting (to release unhealthy ties), Extractions (Remove negative energies or blockages) or Entity Removal (Clear any unwanted spiritual entities).
If you are curious to learn more or have questions about this work, please consider booking an initial Discovery Call.
Yin Yoga
“Yin Yoga is simple, but simple does not mean easy.”
― Bernie Clark, Author of Yinsights
My yoga journey as a teacher and student has been deeply fruitful and transformative. I went from teaching 18 in-person yoga classes per week to transitioning to the online space and studio, working from home in 2021.
As I came to yoga in 2015 as an oasis for connecting deeper to the essence of my body, mind and spirit, I noticed that yoga made me feel much different than any other movement-based activity.
In 2018, I completed my 200 hr YTT training and have since taught multiple styles of yoga. I am a certified RYT 500 yoga teacher with certifications in Yin Yoga, Hatha-Vinyasa, Chair Yoga, Prenatal and Kids' Yoga. While I’ve taught various styles over the years, my heart lies with the softness of Yin.
Yin Yoga is a gentle, grounding practice that targets the body’s deep connective tissues — the fascia — through long-held, static postures. This meditative approach supports the release of tension, the increase of mobility and restoration of the body’s natural flexibility.
I offer 60-minute private virtual Yin Yoga sessions, designed to meet you exactly where you are. You can book a single session, or purchase a 5-class package for deeper, ongoing support.
My library of specialized Yin Yoga classes are available for rent in my studio store.

-Sean D, Reiki Master
"I've been working with Eleni for over a year now, and our Shamanic Healing sessions together have been incredible. Eleni has met me in really beautiful ways when I felt anxious and my mind needed to hold onto something tangible. She talks me through the experience and allows space for questions (I usually have many!), while gently nudging me towards the wisdom of my own heart and body. Her approach is eclectic, drawing on a diverse range of modalities and techniques to fit my needs in that moment. Eleni is very intuitive and she has strong connections with her own guides. While the sessions sometimes stir things up for me in uncomfortable ways, the work is deep and transformative. I've noticed shifts in my life since I've started working with Eleni, including more emotional freedom from painful situations. If you have the opportunity to work with Eleni, do it! She can dive deep with you and help you find air again."
-Vicky V
"I went into this session with an open mind, and Eleni still blew me away with how energetically attuned she is. Too many times to count throughout the session, she actually answered questions I had asked in my head, and she had information she only could have received from the souls she spoke with. She has a very calm and welcoming presence, which allowed me to feel completely comfortable during the session, even when I was crying. I will be booking another session with her and I highly encourage anyone reading this to do the same!"

Testimonials
"This Yin Yoga class was wonderful. It was exactly what my body needed. Eleni explained how to do each pose and what the benefits were. We held each pose for various amounts of time and that allowed my body to relax and stretch the fascia. She called it, "sinking into the pose." My hips were tight going into class and they felt 98% better afterward. Along with helping the body, Eleni had us focus on our breath and cued ways to relax our mind, creating a mind, body and breath connection. Eleni is a gifted teacher and I'm excited to take many more Yin Yoga classes. "
-Nicole Z
"Eleni is the most gifted Yin Yoga teacher I have ever had (and I've had a few!!). Her classes are so special because she knows exactly when to talk, how to take you to the pose with her gentle voice and she also knows when to stop talking so we can really feel the feelings. And then she will, softly, start preparing you to get out of the pose. Always gently, always caring and giving! Some little readings are added to the classes, sometimes, to enrich the experience. She has this gift that I hope she can share with many more people! "
-Claudia H
"My wife and I have recently taken several of Eleni's Yin Yoga classes. We thoroughly enjoy these, especially for the emotional release aspect of the soothing and slow transitions from pose to pose. After class, we both feel so much lighter, as though we've awakened from a deep and restful sleep. It may seem impossible, but I personally feel as though (after only 3 classes) that I now have a better range of motion, particularly where my legs are concerned. The gentle nature of this practice allowed me to participate fully in the class even though I am almost 70 years old!! Thank you, Eleni. "
