ELAINE WAKSMAN
Mind & Body Specialist
Elaine embodies the Paper & Diamond philosophy with her infectious spirit, positive energy and dedication to her clients. Elaine is a healer by nature. Born near the Caspian Sea, a highly trained elite sports physical therapist and wellness advisor, she has spent the last two decades traveling the globe, creating holistic wellness retreats.
Having forged powerful bonds with clients around the globe, she's no stranger to travel and its ability to enliven all five-senses. "It's not just about the event, it's the experience of the entire journey." Expertise embodied by Elaine stems from her wide range of certifications. She is 500h YTT certified international yoga instructor, with an emphasis on Reiki infused yoga practice, as well as a Transcendental Meditation and Theta Healing practitioner and instructor. Additionally, she is Usui level 1 and 2 Reiki certified. She is also trained under the Joseph Pilates Method. Her programs focus on everything from Ayurvedic medicine, to stress management and rejuvenation techniques including massage, meditation, yoga and Pilates.
Elaine explains, "My programs are customized for each client, mixing ancient therapies with contemporary treatments. I help my clients heal and rejuvenate based on their needs and personal goals.”
Blending the common threads from the variety of certifying trainings she has participated in led Elaine to develop her own program, the M3 Method: Mindfulness, Movement and Meditation.
• Mindfulness is a practice which alters the brain wave activity and produces peace of mind, a connection to deeper emotions, and aids in a restful sleep.
• Movement is the invigorating practice that strengthens, lengthens and tones your body, while also increasing hormones and detoxing excess energy for a healthier central nervous system.
• Meditation increases our alpha brain wave activity, which is the bridge between our conscious and subconscious.
