The Yelena Effect

Hi! I’m Celaena S. Y. L. Galathynius. Welcome to The Yelena Effect.

Her name was Selene Yelena László, and she would not be afraid.

I have lived a thousand years, I may live a thousand more, or I may die tomorrow. I no longer fear death, for I have known it once already.

~ Selene Corvinus; Underworld: Blood Wars

You will find, Rolfe, that one does not deal with Celaena Sardothein. One survives her.”

~ Empire of Storms by Sarah J Maas.

About me.

I am a 28 year-old stage actress in my hometown in the Central Valley of California. I’ve basically grown up on stage. First with ballet from my early primary school days through graduating from secondary school. At university, I started doing stage acting, something I’ve always loved but didn’t have time to do because of ballet. I fell in love with acting, which is what I pursued at university, along with psychology and child development. In December 2020, I received a B.A. degree in Early Childhood Development and Theatre Studies (Acting) from Fresno Pacific University.

I am currently in graduate school, getting my Masters in Counselling through National University (online). I am planning to specialise in Substance Use and addiction. I would eventually like to work part-time at a rehab facility and part-time in a private practice where I see clients post-rehab and provide LGBT Affirming Therapy. I am currently studying judo at the local dojo. I would like to bring trauma-informed MMA to my therapy practice.

What will you find on The Yelena Effect?

Here you will learn about all my favourite things. Theatre, dance, various young adult/new adult lifestyle content (beauty, fashion, food, health, etc.), Law of Attraction, manifestation, my personal stories about pursuing a professional acting career, graduate school, and navigating life as someone in her late twenties. Think of me as a big sister you can come to again and again for help with anything.

How does “The Yelena Effect” title and the ending phrase “sending you light and love” tie together?

First, my middle name, Yelena, is of Russian origin and means “shining light.” That’s the effect I strive to have on people. I want to be the shining light in their life.

Secondly, all my friends know I love Marvel and the character Yelena Belova. That character profoundly affected me, and I hope this blog and I will have the same effect on people.

My ending phrase, “sending you all the light and love in this world,” comes from my spiritual beliefs. I am a firm believer in The Law of Attraction. I believe that, like attracts like, everything has a vibration, and that in other universes, you already have your desires. All you have to do now is vibrate to the frequency of what you want, and soon enough, you’ll have it. I believe that everyone deserves “light and love” from The Universe because I believe everyone deserves light and love, especially with how dark and scary the world can sometimes be.How can you get involved and follow my journey?
