Jelena Duma has extensive experience in studying and applying research into the human mind and consciousness. She’s been studying and practicing Yoga and meditation for over 20 years incorporating that knowledge into modalities of psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, NLP, Reiki and many other healing art therapies. Her long experience as a mathematician and software engineer brings structured and analytical method into the intuitive field of consciousness. Having the belief that a human mind can be reprogrammed to accomplish any desired goal, she guides her clients to release emotional blocks, allowing the flow of boundless creativity to bring meaningful and fulfilled living.

Jelena started her carrier as a mathematician and a software engineer. By working in software development and corporate settings she has seen and felt a lot of pressure and stress. She has seen the effects of stress on herself and others frequently resulting in physical illness. During those fifteen years in business she realized that the only way to release the stress is to become aware of how it affects your body, mind and spirit. She decided to leave her software career and to turn to the path of awareness. Along the way she became a psychotherapist from Transformational Arts College in Toronto, hypnotherapist and master of NLP from Ontario School of Hypnosis, and a teacher of Yoga and meditation. She led numerous retreats and workshops around Canada, US and Europe. Since 2005 she has been the founder and the director of Bliss Yoga Studio where she teaches and practices full time with other healing arts professionals.

"...What is really important is to let your inner nature speak to you no matter how odd it looks. Usually, people use only intellect, and they think that they possess the knowledge. But, when they are faced with crisis and emotional suffering, that knowledge does not help. They become depressed, anxious and fearful. The way to "know" yourself and the world around you is to let the spirit talk to you through any means of communication other than the intellect. Let it talk to you through dance, art, meditation, love, play with children. What you need to do is to listen to the messages and the truth will be revealed..."
