Hello and welcome!
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Elena Ciesco and I’m delighted you found your way to my website. The website gives a glimpse of who I am and what I do, but I am so much more, having released a lot over the last few years to show my true self to the world. Through the things I do, my inner compassion expresses itself.
My floristry career happened quite organically after a very long career in beauty therapy. Sadly, in 2020, my Papa passed away. Making flower arrangements became a focus to help me channel my grief for him.
That palpable loss, and the gradual shedding of heartache, supported my change into a new being. It happened organically, having always been a creative person with an eye for detail, colour, structure and flow. I’m very passionate about what I do and after only a few years in the industry, I now have a thriving business, which is just wonderful as it is dedicated to my Papa. Hence the name.
I have a beauty therapy business, which I still love after over 30 years. Dog walking and pet sitting under the guise of Papa’s Paws is a new business that makes my heart sing. Being with animals is just purr-fect.
Yes, although I spin many plates now, it works wonderfully as I love the buzz and the diversity. Every day is different and present new challenges.
With love from Papa and I.
