Facilitators need to know their own wounds, because they shape how we hold others...

-Elaine Yonge

Elaine Yonge is a rare bridge between science and spirit. With decades of experience in both the medical field and transformational facilitation, she brings a grounded, deeply intuitive presence to the spaces she holds. Her background in surgery, anatomy, and patient care has shaped her trauma-informed approach to energy work, shamanic breathwork, and ritual facilitation. Known for her integrity, clarity, and powerful presence, Elaine creates containers where deep transformation feels not only possible, but safe.

In this episode, Elaine shares:

• Why emotional intelligence is still at the edge of our collective evolution.
• Her journey from scientific skeptic to master energy facilitator, and what made her believe.
• The crucial difference between physical and energetic pain (and how she learned it the hard way).
• Why breath is a bridge between the conscious and unconscious, and how it reveals both wounds and power.
• What it takes to truly hold safe space without unconsciously disempowering others.
