Elena Hull is a licensed creative arts therapist, a licensed marriage and family therapist and the clinical director of Midtown Marriage and Family Therapy center. She is also a Retreat Specialist with Joyful Heart and helped to create the Foundation’s retreat model.

“Working in a healing profession, your greatest capacity is how you respond to something. If you’re stressed out or anxious or you don’t have the time, you’re not responding to what is happening; you’re cutting off from it because it is too much. So much of working with suffering is having the spaciousness and the time to be fully present for what is happening. As healers, we have to hold our own wellness as our number one responsibility.”
