Hey there! I’m Elisa.

I’m on a mission to help women in their 40s break free from diet culture, find balance, and genuinely enjoy nourishing their bodies.

Imagine having the health, confidence, and natural weight you desire—without sacrificing joy or flavour. No more complicated plans or guilt around meals—just freedom to eat well, feel incredible, and live life on your terms.

I know what it’s like to chase every diet and detox. I spent years stuck in the cycle—frustrated, restricted, and wondering if food would ever feel easy. What I really craved was freedom: freedom to enjoy food, feel vibrant, and live fully. That’s why I created the 14 Carrots Method—an approach rooted in clarity and ease.

This isn’t a diet. It’s a way of life.

Why 14 Carrots?

No, it’s not about eating carrots (though, shoutout to them—they’re packed with nutrients!). And it’s definitely not about counting them.

Think of it like your favourite 14K gold bracelet: timeless, practical, and something that makes you feel like yourself. It’s about finding a personalized approach to nutrition that fits seamlessly into your everyday life, supports your metabolism and hormones, and leaves you feeling radiant from the inside out.

My approach is built on 5 key pillars:

  1. Joy Matters. If you’re not enjoying yourself, it’s not the right fit. When a healthy lifestyle brings you joy (and deliciousness), it becomes something you’ll want to stick to.

  2. Start Small, Go Big. I support you in making simple, manageable tweaks that fit into your life—not the other way around.

  3. Personalized for You. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to lasting transformation. Your plan is tailored to your unique needs and story.

  4. Seasonal Living. Tuning into seasonal eating and the environment around you can boost your health and help you flow with the natural rhythms of your life.

  5. Perspective is Key. Through educational resources and mindset coaching, you’ll reconnect with your body and gain a new perspective on diet and nutrition. It’s all about creating freedom around food.

If you’re ready to simplify, recharge, and shine from within, book a discovery call with me. Together, we’ll create a path to vibrant wellness that feels uniquely yours.

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.
