Hey there! I’m Elisa.

My Story

My journey began with big dreams in sports and medicine. I studied Kinesiology in Vancouver, aiming to become an orthopedic surgeon, but fashion found me instead. I moved to cities like London, New York, and Toronto, diving into the world of magazines—covering fashion weeks, producing photoshoots, and writing about trends. It was glamorous and fast-paced, and I loved the creativity.

But I spent those years consumed by work, surviving on Diet Coke and crash diets. I struggled with self-doubt, body shame, and fitting into an industry that didn’t align with who I was becoming.

Then, life took a turn. My mom passed away, and grief overwhelmed me. I moved home to reconnect with my roots, but nothing felt right. In the following years, I lost seven more close family members, which deepened my exhaustion. I bounced from job to job, constantly running from burnout.

I began questioning everything: “What am I missing? How can I take control of my health?” I experimented with my diet, fitness routines, and learned to cook with confidence. I got stronger and more energized, but still felt off. Despite all the testing, cleanses, and learning about macros and gut health, I was stuck in a cycle of restriction, obsessed with my weight, and constantly sick.

Then, I discovered meditation, which shifted everything. It wasn’t just about detoxes or workouts—it was about listening to my body. The pandemic allowed me to dive deeper into self-care, and just before my 40th birthday, I enrolled in a natural nutrition diploma program.

Three months in, it all clicked: truly understanding the interconnectedness of our body systems, how nutrition powers everything, and being empowered with the knowledge I craved. I had found the missing pieces—not just about food, but about wellness itself. Now, I enjoy the things I love—wine, donuts, and my morning coffee—but with a balanced way of eating that fuels my energy and supports my life. I’ve learned to handle life’s ups and downs with resilience, using food as a source of joy, not restriction.

Today I’m passionate about helping other women find clarity and freedom around food, especially at a time of our lives when our bodies can often feel at war with us. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan to help you feel vibrant and energized. Your journey won’t look like anyone else’s—it’s about finding what works for you, so you can live a life full of energy, fulfillment, and joy.
