Coach with Elena: Coaching Sessions and Workshops
Elena Greco’s Integrative Holistic Life Coaching provides skilled and compassionate support for those who want to experience transformation in their creative art and in their lives. All singers, instrumentalists, composers, writers, actors, artists, dancers, and other creatives are welcome, as well as people who perhaps don’t work in the creative arts, but want to expand their creativity. And to those who have big dreams, you’re welcome here, too!
My coaching practice gets right to the heart of creativity and the creative life. It includes holistic life coaching, creativity coaching, career-specific strategies, and health coaching, depending on the individual’s needs. Our life is not segmented, but like a prism which reflects every aspect of ourselves, so neither is my coaching segmented; it encompasses the whole of life.
I work with all creative people, although my work is particularly beneficial for singers. Being a singer poses demands that no other professional has to face. With an instrument that is organic and sentient, there are unique challenges. It is my intention to support singers, as well as other performers, in being supremely healthy and vibrant performers, and in bringing their whole being freely, authentically and creatively to their performing. Being a creative in any genre can be a challenge, and I’m here to ease the way.
My practice is both holistic—encompassing the whole person and their environment—and integrative—utilizing solutions from East, West and in between. In addition to coaching, I offer a comprehensive yet concise means of supporting and maintaining health that focuses on balance and draws on the best of all worlds.
I’m a multi-discipline creative artist and performer myself, so I understand the unique needs of creative people. And as someone who has been in the New York City singing business, both classical and popular, for over 30 years, I know what you’re up against.
Most of all, I genuinely love helping creative people, and I’m here to help you get where you want to go with your life and career. Whatever issues you have or areas you want help with, I can and will help you find solutions, and offer support along the way. I want you to be out there creating and succeeding wildly!
I can help any creative at any stage of their career who wants to open creatively, resolve issues, develop career strategies, or learn how to support their physical and mental health while pursuing their career successfully.

I loved my creativity coaching with Elena. She encouraged me to identify and pursue my own goals related to creativity and helped me examine ways to carve out more time for creative projects. The questions she posed for personal reflection were particularly helpful in terms of increasing my awareness of the role of art in my life. This was a very positive experience. ~ Pam P., PhD, Visual Artist
I’m a creative artist: a singer, writer, producer/director, and visual artist.
I’m also a coach/counselor to creative artists and creative people. As a creative myself, I bring my understanding of the need for personal and spiritual expression through the arts to my healing work. I utilize my innate talents and extensive training to help you in any way I can. I’ve spent years training myself to be a healer and coach by studying with the best in those fields so that I can help you be your freest and most creative self, while making your mark in the world.
I have a lifelong commitment to self-actualization for all, and, most of all, to promoting the power and flow of creativity in everyone. I have a keen interest in creative expression in all forms. I believe strongly that sharing our creative arts is a simple but extremely powerful means of enhancing communication and understanding, and that expression through the creative arts drives human evolution and therefore deserves and requires our respect and support. I very much want to bring healing to people through music, which I believe is the most transformational and uplifting tool on the planet. My life is dedicated to creativity and allowing it to flourish in all of us.
I also know the cost of living in this world as a creative artist. Creatives don’t receive a lot of support from society, as a rule, and their lifestyle is a particularly difficult path to tread.
