Hi, I’m eliana

I'm 30 years old, but prior to my 30’s I embarked on a journey that has led me through the world of acupuncture and Eastern medicine. After dedicating five years to my medical education, I realized that while I loved my work, I often felt lost in a field that many don’t fully understand. My clinical experience revealed a profound need for support among those struggling with stress, anxiety, and a sense of disconnection. Witnessing severe cases of depression and mental health challenges fueled my desire to create a podcast dedicated to helping individuals reclaim their sense of self through self-development and discovery.

So Welcome to The Breaking Wave Experience! As your host, I bring a unique perspective shaped by my journey as a newly graduated doctor in Acupuncture and Eastern Medicine. My clinical practice has been enriched by internships at Rush Hospital’s Supportive Oncology program and the Jesse Brown VA Hospital, where I focused on alleviating physical pain and supporting mental health. With an undergraduate degree in Exercise Science and a background in Nutritional Therapy, I advocate for a comprehensive approach to wellness that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit. Having navigated my own challenges with childhood trauma, anxiety, and depression, I understand the importance of healing, resilience, and the ongoing quest for clarity in life.
