“Drawing on research, clinical training and experience, it’s my mission to help others find healthy - to look and feel their best at any age.”
Hi, I'm Elan!
I’m a scientist, senior business professional, health educator, and wellness coach helping clients achieve glowing skin + health.
With a background in biology and health management, I take a multi-faceted approach to client wellness that is focused on skin science and holistic health, including lifestyle and environmental factors.
I’m also pleased to provide consulting for medical, spa, and wellness organizations. Where appropriate, I work with your healthcare team to assist in managing complex, chronic conditions.
Life in Layers
I began my career as a biologist over 20 years ago by studying the links between human health and the environment— a passion that fuels me to this day.
My quest for knowledge led me to further my education in nursing and eventually in skin health. These experiences deepened my understanding of the components involved in building and sustaining overall wellness.
BECOMING THE SKIN HEALTH COACH™
Through years spent working as an accredited scientist, I have researched evidence-based actions to successfully navigate specific situations, including acne, aging, fatigue, hair health and more.
I like to say that the coaching path found me. Oftentimes I would be doing a business presentation and I’d get stopped afterwards by clients saying “Your skin looks great, what do you do?” This grew into regular requests for my advice and insight, and eventually I decided to take the plunge into starting a coaching business. (Check out this blog post for the full story.)
Are you ready to glow?
Now, as a degree-certified health educator, I help others transform their skin + health from the inside out.
As a wife, mother, and business owner, I understand how difficult it can be to balance our many roles with trying to prioritize health— while still leaving room for a little fun! That’s why I’m here to help support you on your journey, no matter where you’re at.
Together, we’ll focus on your goals and use them to create strategic steps that help you find what works for you.
“You can be confident investing your energy in the right approach – one that’s taken 20+ science-based years to develop.”
