Elizabeth is a health and wellness coach, yoga instructor, vegetarian cook, and lover of life!
It may have started with picking blueberries and raspberries in my backyard as a kid, or when I decided to be a vegetarian at age 10. My passion for food, health, and sustainable living took me around the world. I started a farm-to-school vegetable market program in New York City, worked as a vegetarian whole foods “jungle chef” at a sustainable education center in Costa Rica, led social justice leadership trainings with Oxfam America, and taught yoga classes to hundreds of students along the way.
After working in offices, on farms, at retreat centers, in restaurants, and at yoga studios I’ve learned what makes me happiest (working barefoot, among other things) and designed a balanced and fulfilling life where my work is fed by my passions. I work with individuals and groups on their nutrition and wellness goals, teach yoga to stretch and strengthen bodies and minds, and encourage everyone to live in a way that sustains our global community and our planet. |
Still curious?My credentials and experiences have created a strong foundation for my coaching and yoga practices. I have a BA in Latin American Studies and Film Studies from Connecticut college and am fluent in Spanish. I am a certified cooking instructor with FoodChange and received my certificate in Holistic Health Coaching from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. I am certified by the American Association of Drugless Practicioners and am a member of the International Association for Health Coaches. I have also participated in seminars and trainings on coaching for peak performance, cross-cultural communication, goal setting, and time management.
I completed my yoga teacher training with 5th Element Yoga and am a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200) with the YogaAlliance. I also hold certifications in Prenatal Yoga from Tranquil Space, Aerial Yoga from Trancend, and Thai Yoga Massage from Anahata Grace. I continue to learn from my students and clients every day. You are a constant source of inspiration and always surprise and encourage me to keep living my passions.. I created Siena Wellness to inspire people to make choices that positively impact their own health and wellness while improving the world we share. I hope you'll join me! |
