Elias Patras is a Best-Selling Author, Intuitive Motivator, Motivational Speaker, Podcaster, Psychic Medium, and Retreat Facilitator with over 25 years of experience in energy work and life coaching. Known for his heartfelt and engaging teaching style, Elias supports individuals on their journey to self-discovery, helping them unlock their intuitive gifts, overcome personal blocks, and realize their limitless potential.
Elias believes that developing intuition begins with developing yourself. When we nurture self-awareness and shift how we see and speak to ourselves, our intuitive abilities naturally expand. As Elias puts it, “We can’t talk poorly about ourselves and expect our clairaudience to flourish. We can’t look in the mirror and see negativity and expect our clairvoyance to grow.”
He has studied with renowned psychic mediums including John Holland, Lisa Williams, Tony Stockwell, and Dougall Fraser, and has completed a two-year apprenticeship in Peruvian Shamanic Studies. Elias also co-facilitates an Earth Honoring Altar apprenticeship program, bringing ancient wisdom into modern practice.
Elias’s achievements include winning the 2019 Celebrate Your Life Speaker Program, which gave him the opportunity to share the Sedona stage with luminaries like Denise Linn, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Anita Moorjani, Neale Donald Walsch, Dr. Bruce Lipton, and Sunny Dawn Johnston.
As a creator, Elias developed a line of Energy Balancing Sprays and Bath Salts to align the mind, body, and spirit, offering tools to support balance and harmony in everyday life. His new book, Changing the F-You into Thank You: How to Flip the Script and See the Gift, introduces readers to the M.I.N.D.S.E.T. principles, a transformative framework for personal growth. Elias is also a featured author in the upcoming compilation book Synchronicity: Exploring Meaningful Paths of Connection, where he shares his journey of trusting life’s timing and honoring the power of synchronicity.
Born in Athens, Greece, Elias was adopted at 22 months by Greek-American parents who instilled in him a never-give-up attitude. His mother often reminded him, “If we took no for an answer, you wouldn’t be here today.” Those words inspired Elias to pursue his dreams, no matter the odds.
Elias lived in and around Chicago, Illinois, for most of his life, where he studied psychology and communication and deepened his fascination with the interplay between the psychological and spiritual realms. He now resides in Camas, Washington, with his husband, two children, and their beloved dogs, Harry and Willow.
Elias’s mission is clear: to help others listen to their inner voice, recognize the signs and synchronicities in their lives, and co-create their highest good in partnership with the Divine. His passion for teaching and personal transformation shines in everything he does, from his workshops and retreats to his writing and podcast, Your Inner Voice.
