About
Looking for more calm, focus, and a greater sense of control in your life? Struggling with anxiety, stress, or poor sleep? Mindfulness is a skill we all have the capacity to develop—but like physical exercise, it only creates change when we practice it intentionally.
As a mindfulness coach with a background in neuroscience, I blend science-based insight with real-life experience navigating anxiety, depression, and addiction. Understanding how the brain works can make your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors feel less confusing and more workable.
In our sessions, you’ll learn practical mindfulness tools while also gaining a deeper understanding of your own habits, and why mindfulness can improve wellbeing in so many ways. If you’re ready to build skills that support your mental and emotional health, I’d be honored to work with you.

Before working with Elena, I was very overwhelmed and struggling with my PTSD triggers. Her Mindfulness Meditation Practice didn’t just teach me techniques, they helped me understand how to use them in my daily life.
Elena explained the process of Mindfulness Meditation in practical way. She created a safe and calming space. I can’t say enough wonderful words about Elena’s Mindfulness Meditation. She has touched my life forever.

Elena is great to work with! I work in the Education & Training unit at my work, and we have collaboration with the Boys & Girls Club. We hosted Elena twice to speak to their middle school students. It was a great experience both times. I could tell the students really enjoyed her talks, were engaged, and asked questions. Each talk was interactive, hands-on, and she even got to know the students, and remembered their names, which I thought was important. I could tell she is very passionate and knowledgeable about the topics presented (brain health, neuroscience, mindfulness coaching, etc.). I believe to get students engaged in these topics is so important for future generations of learners. Therefore, I would recommend Elena!

Working with Elena and TuneIn has been truly life-changing. After struggling with addiction for nearly 10 years, I was finally able to get sober thanks to Elena’s coaching and the resources offered by TuneIn. Elena’s deep expertise in neuroscience, psychology, and mindfulness allows her not only to educate but also empower her clients to integrate mindfulness into their daily lives.
Her guided meditation recordings, which I now use almost every day, have helped me better understand the nature of my mind and recognize the mental patterns and behaviors that were holding me back. Because of this work, I have become more present, compassionate—both toward myself and others—and have embraced a much healthier lifestyle.
Most importantly, the skills and mindfulness practices I’ve developed through Elena’s guidance have brought more joy, balance, and clarity into my life. I am profoundly grateful for this journey and would recommend Elena and TuneIn to anyone seeking meaningful, lasting change.

I wanted to click all the buttons about what I liked when working with Elena. Dr. Vidrascu brings the science and the why behind the what when it comes to brain health. She is able to connect with audiences based on her research and her personal experiences. My organization has benefitted tremendously because of our work with Elena and Tune In. She has empowered our youth leaders and provided expert guidance for organization wide projects. I highly recommend Tune In.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer an initial 30-minute consultation for free, which will serve as an introductory meeting during which we’ll explore your current habits, challenges, and goals. We’ll discuss how mindfulness practice can be integrated into your daily life to help you achieve greater clarity, reduce stress and anxiety, and align with your personal or professional goals. This session is all about understanding your unique needs and setting a foundation for your mindfulness journey.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After an initial consultation, we will set up a one-on-one coaching session (60-min). Each session will focus on 1-2 mindfulness techniques specifically tailored to your unique goals. Drawing from neuroscience, you will gain a deeper understanding of how these practices engage key brain regions and functions that align with your individual needs. Together, we will explore how to seamlessly integrate these techniques into your daily routine to enhance performance and well-being, both personally and professionally.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a PhD in Neuroscience from UNC Chapel Hill and am certified in Mindfulness Meditation Instruction from Duke University. I have given talks and one-on-one coaching in all sorts of personal and professional settings.
