Elena Harder is a Joygasm Catalyst and Bulletproof Mom Coach. She started her awakening journey when she conceived her son in an abusive relationship, and then spent 7 years in crippling postpartum depression, self-loathing, and people-pleasing. She never gave up hope on finding a way through. Her search for “mental health” led Elena to study Mindfulness, Spirituality, NLP, Theta Healing, Tantra, Optimal Nutrition, and Intermittent Fasting to find a way to finally recover her mind and joyful soul.   Now she works with other mothers to help them master the tools and skills that really work to remove their negative self-talk, eliminate stress, heal their hearts, and remove anxiety, fear, and depression.   Elena shares her vulnerable stories and hard-earned wisdom so that others women don’t need to make the same mistakes and are empowered to find their own Joygasmic Life.

Take a look at what Kirstin said, "Even though my birth was not natural at all, I don’t feel robbed… I don’t feel like anything was taken away from me. None of the joy of making decisions for myself was taken from me.

Kirstin shares the story of her birth center birth turned hospital transfer after 24 hours of laboring at the birth center.
