“Nurturing Resiliency was an amazing session. Elaina did a fantastic job going on the four pillars but allowed voice and choice and I feel like it really impacted everyone in that session. She allowed us to feel our emotions and validated that what we are feeling is okay and that things will get better.”
Kendall Krawchuk, Teacher, Sun West School Division
“It is crazy to think that 7 months ago I was at the lowest time of my life – as low as thinking about suicide. Having you teach the Mental Wellness 30 course helped me improve the state of my mental health. I honestly think school systems all around Canada should have this class. Thank you for everything you have taught me and thank you for an amazing semester.”
Student, Sun West School Division

“Elaina is a joy to work with from start to finish. She is enthusiastic and innovative, while balancing the needs of the project, such as deadlines, budgets, and other administrative requirements. We enlisted Elaina’s talents to develop a full training program on the transferability of learning into the workplace, including presentation design, participant activities, and all associated materials. She delivered an engaging and impactful product which we continue to receive rave reviews about.”
Alison Wall, B.Comm., Director, Strategic Partners & Planning, Service Hospitality
“I loved the mental health conversation. It was nice to have an honest, open, and vulnerable conversation about the struggles we face and to truly feel heard.”
Cassandra Kirby, Teacher, Sun West School Division
“I think that Elaina’s Mental Wellness 30 course should be mandatory to take. It is so important, not only for those suffering from poor mental health, but also those behind all the stigma. I want to make a binder of resources from the course so that I will always have them. Maybe if everybody had to take this course, people would be less cruel or judgmental, and be more understanding.”
