They Sing the Good Praise!

A photoshoot with Elyna is like stepping into your most radiant, unapologetic self. It’s a mix of hype-girl energy, effortless fun, and just the right amount of magic to make you feel like the absolute star you are (and always have been). 10/10, would Bloom B*tch again!

Elyna is a photo shoot dream. She understands how to make the process, light, fun, efficient and most importantly not draining. Her creativity shines not only during the shoot making sure you feel taken care of but before and after as well. The pre and after care of a photo shoot is something no one talks about and Elyna knows exactly what to do so you feel amazing.

I was definitely nervous about the photoshoot, but with Elyna's intuitive understanding of neurodiverse needs and energy guidance, the experience transformed from potentially overwhelming to deeply empowering. I'm forever grateful (and the photos were absolutely AMAZINGGGGG!!!).
Danelle Gallo 💗
Elyna doesn't just think about the photo shoot...that woman is thinking 5 steps ahead and 10 after. Her brain is like a super computer when it comes to leveraging your energy. She believes energy is not inexhaustible, I think she must get that from being neurodivergent. So she makes sure you aren't wasting yours!

Hi, I'm Elyna

I am an earth scientist, business strategist and deep intuitive. I earned a degree in Geography from UC Berkeley, and have been an expert coach in 6 and 7 figure businesses for over a decade. 

I am also an autistic woman with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). I have very different needs, and a very different mind.

When it comes to in-person retreats I know the need for structure, fun, and always having room for our multidimensional selves! 

After 10 years of professionally planning transformational events, I like to think you’ve found a good cookie to do an in-person retreat with. My style is a balance of easy going with structure, let’s just say a lot happens without you feeling rushed.

Spring Retreat PRICING

As someone who has pieced all of this together in my business for 9 years, I know the individual investments that goes in to branding, messaging, photography, video, and social media creation (not to mention the time). 

I have spent thousands of dollars, and a lot of damn time, to line these crucial pieces up in my business again and again. And the truth is, so often the custom packages available are a much larger scope than I need. 

Most of the time we just need a refresh in our business, not a total overhaul. We need an influx of fun, clarity, good vibes and meaningful direction. I don’t want that to cost you thousands of dollars. 

That’s why I have created this spring retreat, a way for you to get clarity on where to focus your marketing, and the resources to do it without breaking the bank. Also, I know I’ll have a great time, and that’s perfect motivation for me.

All meals are included (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks!). You will be prompted to give us your dietary preferences prior to the retreat. 

I am REALLY into good home cooked food with local veggies and good quality meats and proteins. So expect good food 😉 

The retreat is in Grass Valley, California.

The closest airport to fly into is Sacramento (we are a 75 min drive). 

The Bay Area and San Francisco are 2.5 hours away (in good traffic). 

There is not good public transportation from either airport. Best is to rent a car, or coordinate with another participant.

I can connect you with a couple people who do Sacramento airport pickups. Expect to pay about $60 each way. 

The photographers are two of my favorite people to work with. 

Cathleen from Azara Images 

and Kat Bacchus from Taming the Tangle. 

Combined these women have over 50 years of experience!  They are who I go to for my photography needs every year. 

The retreat does not include lodging.

However if you’d like to stay at my house in a shared room situation you are welcome to at no additional cost.It will be kind of like a dorm style set up. It’s fun and we’ve done it before with retreats. 

If you want your own space I totally get it. I recommend…
The Pines Inn (1 minute away and most affordable)
The Holbrooke Hotel (3 minutes away, boutique, upscale awesome decor)
The Gold Miners Inn (5 minutes away with fresh, modern design)

There also plenty of airbnbs in the area, and I will be honest when I say I hear they are hit or miss. Some people have great experiences and others have not. 

Yes! It’s the only way to pay 😉

Clarity on your messaging
New photos for your website and social media
Video content for social media
Templates for social media posts, reels and your homepage
Review of your homepage edits
Tutorial for making easy reels
Clarity on your branding
New Connections
and a damn good time! 

This is actually great if you just started your business! You’ll end up with so many pieces you need in one go. I wish someone had this package when I was starting out. 

We have one group call before the retreat where we will guide you through a specific process to clarify your messaging. And then give you clear homework to complete before arriving at the retreat. 

Nope. We are cooking simple organic meals and can easily fold in dietary needs. We will be asking everyone participating their dietary needs anyways! 

Even if you realize you need more ongoing marketing support, you’re still going to want to have these photos and videos. And even if you are not the one creating most of your social media in the long run, it’s good to know the pieces involved so you can better guide whoever helps you. No one can read your mind. And truth me, I have watched a lot of business owners THINK that the contractors they hired *could* read their minds. It doesn’t go well. 

There is non-refundable $250 deposit. If you need to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances you can do so until March 20th with a refund (minus the deposit). After March 20th we are not able to offer a refunds unless someone else registers for your spot (we will put the offer out). 

Is it your time to bloom?

Let’s talk and find out if this retreat is a good fit for you. We only have 6 spots so grab a call time and let’s figure it out. We’d love to have you join us, we’re pretty easy going, enjoy a good time and are really good at what we do.
