About Eliana

Eliana Baccas

“Real change happens when we embody the wisdom we gain” – these words came to me several years ago, toward the end of my training at the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland, and they reflect my vision of what is possible for each of us, as we fully embrace what it means to commit to the healing process.

For over 4 decades, I have been working with clients and students on a spiritual and somatic level. I began teaching Yoga in the late 70’s, and found that my teaching brought forth the spiritual, unseen aspect of the physical practice, using yoga as an energy healing process. This was expanded through my many years of study with Yoga teachers, Angela Farmer and Victor van Kooten, who helped to awaken my root chakra and my back body. Other somatic study and experience for me has included Yoga Therapy, Shiatsu massage, Rebirthing, and Healing Touch.

In the early 2000’s, I was privileged to meet the great Vedanta teacher, Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati, and began to make frequent trips to India to absorb the wisdom of this ancient tradition through his masterful teaching.

My study to become an Intuitive Energy healer through the sage guidance of Wendy DeRosa has enabled me to integrate the study of ancient wisdom into a somatic practice of energy healing. I enjoy the collaboration with my clients who come to me for guidance as they hunger for living more fully in a way that frees them to embody who they came here to be. I love seeing them blossom and develop in ways they never thought possible for most of their lives!

I am called to work with people who are interested in the deeper healing journey, which requires the courage to drop into the rOOt chakra and lower body, to address issues such as lack, insecurity, loneliness, and fear - in order to heal

what keeps them from actualizing that they are already whole, light-filled beings, embracing the knowledge of deep worth.
