Resume

Elena V. Nezhinsky, M.S.

Life Transformation Mentor • Clarity Consultant • Runic Diagnostics Specialist • Writer • Speaker

Professional Profile

My work developed through an unusual combination of analytical training, direct revelations and mystical experience, decades of contemplative practice, psychological inquiry, and sustained work with symbolic and energetic systems.

I am the creator of Runic Diagnostics for Clarity and have more than fifteen years of experience working with people through spiritual awakening, life transitions, complex personal situations, and human development. My multidisciplinary background includes engineering, systems analysis, mentorship, and consciousness studies.

Earlier in my career, I worked as a Senior Systems Analyst, developing the ability to enter complex systems, recognize underlying patterns, and identify where meaningful change is possible. Today, that same analytical capacity works together with sustained attention, direct conversation, and Runic Diagnostics to help people gain clarity in complex life situations.

My current work includes Personal Clarity Sessions and Deep Life Diagnostic, combining analytical discernment, direct human engagement, and Runic insight to identify what is happening beneath the visible surface of a situation and where meaningful movement is possible.
