Elena

I am Boston Marathon bombing survivor and live with post-traumatic stress disorder. Nearly three and a half years after the bombing I was voluntarily hospitalized with severe PTSD symptoms that were threatening my life. Through that experience I was motivated to become my own advocate and began working tirelessly towards healing. Through my website, Still Blooming Me, I share how I’ve learned to embrace my trauma and mental health challenges, natural healing modalities that have helped me heal, and ways I’ve grown from my experience. I’m passionate about bringing awareness to PTSD and sharing resources that have helped me heal. I’ve contributed to various blogs, podcasts, and I speak publicly.

I’m a dedicated wife and mother. I family lives in Phoenix, Arizona.
