Eliana Baccas is a truly gifted healer, with deep empathy and radical compassion. She is exceedingly calm and grounded and creates a beautiful and safe space for exploring multiple levels of vulnerability. In each of our sessions together, Eliana’s insights have guided me to a particular piece of healing that I needed in that exact moment in my life. I am so appreciative of her deep listening and steady guidance, as well as her wonderful sense of humor! No matter where you are, Eliana will meet you where you are and support you on your healing journey.

Eliana’s calm, steady, flexible, and loving presence sets the foundation for a powerful healing container. Her intuitive gifts helped me to identify and clear some stuck energy from early childhood, and as a result I was able to step more fully into my authentic power. I am grateful for her wisdom and her ability to make me feel more at home in my body!
Workshop Participant
Exceptional levels of conscious and intelligent sharing, asanas, directions and tips. Exceptional and irreplaceable instructor! Eliana’s knowledge far exceeded my expectations without any ego or hero-worshipping. She created an environment, which surpassed any other that I have been in....in terms of comfort, individual fit, and emotional preparedness. Again, exceptional in organization for the seminar, yet flexible to adapt to participants’ needs and desires. Exceptional in sensing and then establishing the needed ambience for all attendees.

Eliana's teaching style is life-giving and empowering. She invites her students to participate in the teaching and learning process by sharing our experiences, insights and questions. With humor and grace, she allows that sharing opportunity to unfold organically in her classes.
Eliana conveys direction and purpose in what she is teaching, while spontaneously tailoring her approach to meet people where they are in the moment. For me, a class with Eliana opens doors and windows of wisdom and learning. At the same time, I receive energy and support to step through those doors and windows on my own, and in my own time.

Eliana brings to her healing sessions a lifetime of deep spiritual training and experience. I have had the privilege to know Eliana for over 30 years and have shared portions of her journey as a spiritual aspirant and healer. I know from long experience, that she is a very compassionate, grounded, deeply spiritual healer. I have had several sessions with Eliana through the intuitive Healer Training Program. Each session uniquely addressed the issues I presented. Eliana follows her intuition beautifully. She listened with compassion and wisdom to my needs in each healing session.
Workshop Participant
Eliana Baccas is a presence. The workshop affected me deeply, both in my physical yoga practice and in my spiritual development. I didn't want the session to end. Eliana brought so much to a three-hour class: warmth, yogic philosophy, asana practice. She is among the best, and the session was amazing.

Eliana’s point of view, her ideas, and her way of explaining things really strike home with me. Even when I’m feeling challenged on an emotional level, her workshops help me to feel grounded and pulled together, reminding me that I do know how to be calm.

Eliana possessed the uncanny ability of profoundly sensing the parameters of pain that need healing and calmly moving into those waters with compassion, incredible insight and quiet directives for release. I could never have imagined the power of such a healing and thanks to Eliana’s innate sense of the complex journey and subsequent path to peace and restoration, it was extraordinarily real.

Eliana Baccas is one of those rare people you meet in life that you never forget. Her presence alone is peaceful yet disciplined. She is extremely attuned to the mind-body connection, both its challenges and the infinite resources one encounters as they engage in the deep exploration her classes encourage. She believes that everyone can achieve an ever-increasing mind-body equilibrium.
Her collaborative and very personal teaching style encourages and challenges students to tap into their mental, emotional and physical bodies and connect to this part of themselves—this sensory, emotional-spiritual self that Eliana seems to know so well. It’s with deep conviction that I unconditionally recommend Eliana’s teaching.

Eliana Baccas is a clear and concise communicator who makes abstract concepts concrete through the use of powerful imagery. I find that her lessons stay with me long after a workshop is over.
Eliana is also a generous teacher, who shares not only the fruits of her formal training, but her own experience as well. She navigates the dynamic of any group with poise and ease. I wholeheartedly recommend Eliana to any organization that is ready to inspire its people and heal itself.
