Stories of Growth
As an entrepreneur in a dynamically shifting industry, I was struggling with overcommitting, overbooking, and trying to be everywhere at once, which took a toll on my well-being and my output. Dr. El's guidance was insightful and instrumental in reshaping my perspective, helping me recalibrate my systems and foci without sacrificing my drive for success. Now, I move through my days with greater intentionality and agency, regularly experiencing deep and sustained flow states. This newfound balance has propelled me to greater openness to unfolding opportunities, significant creative leaps, and more impactful work, which has resulted in professional success, but better yet, personal fulfillment.

I began working with Dr. El at an extremely difficult time in my life. What I found in him is someone safe who I could reflect into. He helped me find stillness and gently nudged me to turn inward and learn from my own reflections. He patiently nurtured and inspired a new practice for me in creative writing that has become an incredibly potent tool. I appreciate his expansive curiosity and his reflections that tend to make poetry of my stories. Our talks have catalyzed some of my biggest personal transformations, and I attribute that to his skills in attentive, nuanced listening and his loving, supportive presence.
As my creative pursuits evolved into a thriving business venture, the balance between maintaining artistic integrity and meeting market demands became increasingly elusive. Dr. El's unique blend of creative psychology and business acumen served as my compass. His approach to cultivating creative potential while fostering strategic growth was just what I needed to focus less on compromising and more on delivering high-quality services with authenticity. Each session with Dr. El has been a deep dive into innovation, self-discovery, and pragmatic problem-solving that has not only fueled my professional success, but also reignited my passion for creation. He has my highest recommendations!
