Testimonials
“I’ve struggled with burnout, stress and a myriad of perimenopause symptoms, but especially brain fog and low energy. After trying many different treatments, I knew I needed more support in how I ate.
From the moment I started the program, I loved how it was targeted to my specific concerns. After doing a full health history, and taking time to really understand where I was at, Elisa provided me weekly meal plans, coaching calls and a tonne of support and encouragement throughout. I did a personalized reset for 3 weeks, then followed up with a progressively more inclusive meal plan each week. The recipes were varied and interesting.
I felt so supported by Elisa. She supported me not just in improving my nutrition, but encouraged me to build many other healthy lifestyle habits. She even looked up grocery stores and restaurants around my hotel when I went on vacation and was always willing to adapt meal plans to make them fit better into my extremely busy life.
At the end of the program, I had lost about 10 pounds, and was able to go back to a fitness class twice a week, something I hadn’t had the energy to do for years.
I’d highly recommend anyone who needs support with health and nutrition to work with Elisa. She is genuinely one of the most compassionate and intelligent people I know. I loved our coaching calls, and am so grateful for her endless patience as I built new habits in life and nutrition.” — CA

“When I first considered working with Elisa, I was skeptical of my ability to commit and worried I’d fall back into old habits. In the past, I’d only ever tried drastic and therefore short-lived changes and reverted to my usual routine.
From the very first week, I was surprised by how manageable the process was. We began with small, realistic adjustments, like tracking what I ate, how I slept, and my overall digestion. Because I’m gluten-intolerant, Elisa customized meal plans and shopping lists to fit for my needs and health focus.
As a chef, I feel like I had lost track of “normal” or proper portion sizes and healthier cooking methods without sacrificing flavour.
One of the most striking changes is how my hair, which had been falling out for eight years, suddenly stopped shedding so dramatically. Now, I can run my fingers through my hair and hardly see a strand come out. My skin has a healthier glow and I’ve also lost almost 10 pounds without feeling deprived of sweets or tasty meals.
Elisa’s program is not a crash diet—it’s a lifestyle shift. Even though I can cook almost anything, I’ve learned so much about balanced eating and daily wellness habits like simple exercises and lymphatic drainage techniques. These small steps have drastically reduced my water retention and helped me feel more energetic and mobile.
I’m 49 and perimenopausal, was dealing with hot flashes and mood swings. I’d tried dieting for six months with no success and felt resigned to feeling stiff and lethargic as I aged. Working with her has completely changed all that (in fact, I did 15 min of dance unplanned unscheduled just ‘cause I was in the mood today).
I still enjoy coffee and tea, but now they go with a breakfast rather than replace it.
Through family stresses and running a business, Elisa has been a constant guide. She never judges—she listens and offers practical solutions, like cheat sheets.
If you’re struggling with similar issues, I wholeheartedly recommend taking a chance on yourself and working with Elisa. Her compassionate, informed, and genuinely supportive approach has shown me that real, lasting change is possible—one step at a time.” — JP

“With young kids, work, aging parents, and taking care of all the demands of daily life, I had placed myself at the very bottom of my own priority list for many years. Entering my 40s brought on additional physical and emotional malaise: perimenopause. I was suffering through sleepless nights, night sweats, irritability and low mood. I felt sluggish, low in motivation, and had minimal energy during the day, but struggled to get any restful sleep at night. It was like I was going through all the motions without really being present. I knew it was time to start taking better care of myself, so I signed up to work with Elisa to support me in my journey toward overall health and wellness.
Not only is Elisa incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to nutrition, her greatest strength might just be her ability to really listen with compassion, her desire to make sense of what you’re going through, and to curate a plan to support you to feel your best. As we talked about my symptoms, health history, and lifestyle, Elisa paused and said “it sounds like you’re experiencing burnout”. And it was like a lightbulb went off for me. I assumed this was the default setting for someone at my stage of life with all the things I have on my plate, and not something I could take actionable steps to improve. Elisa developed a plan to nourish me – a plan that was tailored to support me toward better sleep and overall wellness. I resolved to be gentler with myself and to work toward recentering my own wellbeing as a priority.
Her approach is informative, thoughtful, wonderfully supportive and gentle. I was worried that it would be overly complex and that I’d fail. There is zero shaming or judgement with Elisa. She meets you where you are and provides a thoughtful plan designed to support your specific needs and health goals. Thanks to Elisa, I no longer find myself awake like clockwork every night from 2-5am. When I wake up, I am able to close my eyes and fall back asleep. This is HUGE! I wake up feeling rested and better able to meaningfully participate in my life. My night sweats have reduced significantly too (also contributing to better sleep!). With the significant improvements to my sleep quality, I can say that Elisa has also cured my perimenopausal rage :)
It has been a transformative experience working with Elisa. I honestly thought I was doomed to experience poor sleep and a lousy mood for the next decade. I am so grateful to Elisa for supporting me on this journey – and for cheering me on during as I made the shift. I’m looking forward to learning more from her as the journey continues.” — MS

“Working with Elisa has been such a game-changer—and so much fun! This was my first time with a nutritionist, and I loved the whole experience. Figuring out why my body was reacting in certain ways was fascinating, and Elisa made the full elimination diet so much easier with her great tips and recipes for cooking and shopping.
After a month gluten- and dairy-free, my skin is glowing, and I’m having far fewer stomach issues—even on stressful days! I feel so much better in my body, healthier, happier, and more in control of what I eat. Plus, I’ve lost quite a bit of weight, which is an amazing bonus!
Thank you, Elisa, for all your support—I couldn’t recommend her enough!” — GH
