Elisa Silva
Breakout Leader 2022
Certified MH Coach 2025
In 2018, Elisa attended her Marriage Help Workshop, not because she wanted to - she felt obligated to go. Her marriage to Marcos was falling apart. She was having an affair and had planned to leave her husband for the other person. But the workshop changed things. She saw Marcos start to change in surprising ways, which made her think twice about leaving. Though it was very hard, Elisa finally ended her affair. This was a major turning point that started a new phase in their lives.
 Over time, Elisa and Marcos worked hard to fix their marriage using the tools from the Workshop. They didn't just repair their relationship - they made it stronger than before. Both of them grew as people too. Now Elisa helps other couples, using her own experience to connect with people. She understands both those who want to save their marriage and those thinking of leaving, because she's been there herself. Today, Elisa and Marcos work together as a team, telling their story of healing and hope to people everywhere.
