I'm Elettra — a speaker, storyteller, and meditation teacher working at the intersection of food systems, ecological stewardship, and human wellbeing.

I give talks. I help others develop and deliver theirs. And I teach meditation — for adults and children — to train your mind's capacity to see more clearly, act more deliberately, and meet life with more calm, clarity, and compassion.

My work is research-grounded and experiential. An MSc from the London School of Economics. Almost a decade co-founding and running a regenerative farm on Long Island. A meditation practice rooted in more than a decade of daily experience. I've spoken alongside a Nobel laureate, the World Food Programme's Nutrition Director, and the President of Italy's Superior Health Council — and to elementary school students the week after.

The through-line: I make complex ideas feel immediate and personal, so people can find their own entry point — and actually do something with what they've heard.

  • "At XTANT, Elettra captivated our audience by weaving together personal experience and cultural insight with warmth, humility, and depth. Her talk sparked meaningful conversations."

    Kavita Parmar, founder XTANT

  • "Elettra worked closely with us to distill complex ideas into a presentation that was both intellectually rigorous and accessible to a broad audience. The result was a sold-out event."

    Drs. Francesco Sylos Labini & Matteo Caravani

  • "Her ability to reach both complete beginners and experienced practitioners was her greatest strength."

  • "Elettra played a key role in translating complex environmental science into clear, actionable steps."

    Marc Rauch, Chair, Bellport Environment Committee

  • “Elettra used wonder as a tool. The kids didn't just learn something. They left wanting to do something — and with tangible ideas about where to start."

    Laura Romano

  • Elettra's meditation classes helped me immensely. She has the gift of being an authentic and empathetic person, and this comes across immediately."

    Luca Ragazzi (Meditation student)

  • “Elettra translated complex content into an accessible, human, and seamless experience that fostered real connection and clarity."
