Elina Fuhrman is the mother of the groundbreaking Soupelina Soup Cleanse and the creator of the Healing Journey Method. A modern-day medicine woman, intuitive healer; not to mention, an internationally acclaimed author known for bridging ancient medical wisdom with modern wellness. Her work blends science and spirituality, offering a transformative synthesis of food as medicine, sacred rituals, and intuitive guidance. She draws from her studies with world-renowned oncologists, naturopaths, and holistic practitioners, as well as her direct experiences with shamanic healers, yoga masters, and spiritual teachers across the globe.

​

Elina’s journey into healing began after an aggressive breast cancer diagnosis that turned her life upside down. A former CNN war correspondent, she pivoted from journalism to a deeply personal mission: to understand what truly heals and to teach others how to transmute illness into vibrant, purposeful living through the combination of both science and spirituality.

​

Central to Elina’s work is her patented Soup Cleanse, a therapeutic system that lays the foundation for disease reversal by restoring the body’s natural healing intelligence. Unlike typical cleanses - this is a detoxification program that delivers cellular nourishment while giving the digestive tract a vital rest. When the gut microbiome is rebalanced, inflammation cools, immunity strengthens and the body can finally focus on healing.

​

Hailed as “the culinary shaman,” Elina has been featured in VOGUE, GOOP, The New York Times, Good Morning America, and Yoga Journal for her innovative work in modernizing ancient healing practices. Through her signature approach—nourishing the body, mind, and spirit—Elina empowers her clients to move beyond survival into full-spectrum transformation.
