About Elle
Bio
Elle is a writer and creator interested in the patterns that quietly shape human behaviour, learning, and identity.
Her writing grows from a long-standing curiosity about why people behave the way they do and why certain patterns repeat across relationships, learning environments, and institutions.
Her work engages with research in stress physiology, nervous-system adaptation, and trauma-informed approaches to understanding behaviour.
Before focusing on writing and creative work, Hernandez left her corporate career in Toronto and moved to Vancouver Island. Burnt out and searching for direction, she rediscovered herself through yoga, later training as a teacher and founding Namaskar Yoga Studio.
Her childhood and life experience, combined with the journey of building a studio and navigating her business through an impossible time (2020 -) placed her in direct contact with survival mode, chronic stress, uncertainty, and change — experiences that continue to inform her observations about human systems.
Her work appears in books, essays, and educational projects such as Dummify™, which translates complex subjects into clearer forms.
Hernandez lives and works on Vancouver Island, where she continues teaching, developing projects exploring behaviour, learning, and human systems.
