What Our Students Are Saying

Quotes from past participants:

“Elena and Dr Greg teach an enlightened course on Energy medicine that is perfect for the novice and expert alike. Their Alchemy of science and art in this course is a truly one of a kind experience. The course begins with a comprehensive review of the interconnectedness of earth science, plant medicine, homeopathy, traditional Chinese medicine and human physiology. This sets the stage for the didactic portion of the course and then the hands on part teaches the practitioner the proper use of a tuning fork and vibrational frequencies to aid in the discovery of disorder within an energy system. Then the practitioner learns how to apply this resonant energy to bring the client/patient back to a state of homeostasis. I have attended many conferences over the years and Elena and Dr. Greg are an alchemical force that is truly worth experiencing. They bring yin and yang, female and male, intuition and knowledge for a transformative workshop.”

Dr. Kevin Logan, MD Integrative Medicine Physician

“Dr. Greg and Elena have transformed my life. They listened to me and my body and brought awareness to areas of my life and with that, advice to make immediate shifts towards healing. They saw all of me- the inner intelligence my cells have been trying to scream for years. There is a wisdom that they speak that is from years of dedicated research and a passion for knowledge. The mind/body connection is a practice lost in most western medicine and through their ability to see what is in alignment and what is not, Dr. Greg and Elena are able to help move their patients towards wholeness. I highly recommend that anyone seeking wellness and to understand themselves and the history that is stored in your body's cells make an apportionment and prepare for your lives to be forever changed. A transformation in the most positive of ways!”

Reconnect. Realign. Restore.

The Vita Institute offers a uniquely relational approach to healing. Our trainings go beyond technique—they cultivate awareness of how we relate to everything: our food, our environment, our ancestry, and the elements within us. With deep roots in vibrational medicine, mineral wisdom, and spiritual truth, we help you align with your calling to heal—whether you're a practitioner, parent, or passionate seeker.

In modern medicine, we often treat symptoms in isolation—organs apart from emotions, food apart from function, and the body apart from the spirit. But healing doesn’t happen in pieces. It happens in connection. Many are left feeling burnt out, disconnected, and overwhelmed, searching for real answers that go beyond surface-level fixes. Imagine knowing how to listen to the body’s subtle signals—its minerals, microbes, energy fields, and emotional imprints—and responding with precise, powerful interventions that restore balance. Imagine helping yourself, your family, or your clients find alignment with their truth and vitality. After training with Vita Institute, you’ll see health through an entirely new lens—one that honors the body’s design, the wisdom of creation, and the unique path of each individual.
