My name is Kristel Elling. I’m a classically trained actress from Estonia, a small and scenic country in Northern Europe.

I studied acting at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre and earned my master’s at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London.

Since then, I’ve worked across film, television, and theatre in Estonia, Europe, and the U.S.

Along the way, I’ve found grounding in other practices and disciplines that shape who I am: I’m a certified vinyasa yoga teacher and a dedicated martial artist, with a black belt in Taekwondo. Movement, mindfulness, personal growth and healthy living are a big part of my life.

I also sing, tap dance, ice skate, and play the piano - always exploring new ways to move, express, grow and deepen my work as a performer as well as a human being.

When I’m not acting or training, I’m travelling the world or connecting with nature.

If my work can offer a spark of hope, touch a heart with kindness and bring some joy, then my mission is accomplished.
