I worked with Elise a few years ago for about a year. She was recommended to me by a practitioner I was working with at the time. I have been to several counselors and therapists over the years, and having Elise as a coach was so different and such a breath of fresh air! From our first 15 minute consultation call, I felt like we were immediately best friends. I felt so comfortable with her right away. On our calls, she always made me feel so seen and validated. Elise is incredibly empathetic and has such a gift from the Lord for serving others. She was always able to put my thoughts into words and help me see my circumstances more clearly. I loved how she gave me actionable and practical steps for healing and helping change my thought patterns. I still implement some of the things now that she taught me years ago. She is an absolute gift and I will always remember our time working together!!

"When I first connected with Elise, I was navigating the overwhelming grief of losing my father while stepping into the uncharted waters of first-time motherhood. Amidst the chaos of contemplating a move from Los Angeles back to my roots in North Carolina and managing complex family dynamics, she became my anchor.

Through our bi-weekly sessions, Elise helped me rebuild my confidence, my voice, and my sense of self. She didn’t just coach me, she met me exactly where I was, with both wisdom and warmth. Unlike any therapist I’ve ever had, she shares her own story and relates to you like a close friend.

She taught me that being a sensitive empath is a superpower, not a flaw. Her guidance helped me find clarity in chaos, softness in strength, and the courage to trust myself again. She’s a Texas fireball in the best way—fierce, intuitive, loving, and grounded in something deeper.

I’ll forever be grateful for her presence in my life. If you’re lucky enough to cross paths with her, take it as a sign. She’s the real deal."

“Elise has been a godsend for me! I've worked with her off and on for almost 10 years (as both our schedules have allowed). She's seen me through college, post-grad, dating, marriage, and now motherhood. I think it's rare to find a life coach who you'd also consider a friend, but I can say wholeheartedly that she is one of the most selfless friends I have. Elise leads with her heart in everything that she does. Book a session with her! I promise you will not regret it.”

"Working with Elise has truly been a transformative experience. From our very first session, I felt seen, supported, and gently challenged in the best possible way. She’s incredibly personable and easy to connect with—and she has a great sense of humor, which made even the heavier moments feel a little lighter. I always left our sessions feeling encouraged and more grounded. What stood out most is that Elise has been through her own health journey, so she really gets it —not just on a professional level, but from personal experience. That made me feel safe and understood in ways I didn’t even realize I needed.

Through our work together, I’ve gained so much more confidence and clarity. Elise helped me identify and release the limiting beliefs that were holding me back, and guided me toward showing up more fully as myself—in my relationships, in my work, and in my own inner dialogue. She also empowered me to take real, aligned action toward the life I want, instead of just thinking or talking about it. I’ve also learned how to set healthy boundaries and approach life with more calm and intention. If you're looking for a coach who is wise, grounded, real—and will probably make you laugh when you need it most—Elise is absolutely the one."

“I began working with Elise during one of the most pivotal and vulnerable moments of my life. I was stuck in a job I was struggling to leave, and just as I was working on building the confidence to move on, I was unexpectedly laid off—and found out I was pregnant with my first child. It was an overwhelming, emotional time, and that’s when Elise stepped in and changed everything for me.

She helped me shift my perspective and find clarity amidst the chaos. With Elise’s support, I began to recognize my strengths, navigate the job search with more confidence, and embrace the journey into motherhood with greater peace of mind. She didn’t just coach me—she empathized deeply, made me feel seen and heard, and reminded me that I wasn’t alone.

Elise also helped me learn how to better communicate my feelings and stress with my husband, which strengthened our relationship during such a life-changing transition. Her approach is both practical and heartfelt, and she has a rare gift for connecting with people on a truly personal level.

Now, nearly three years later and expecting my second child, I still find myself turning to the wisdom and tools Elise gave me. She is a truly incredible human being and so talented at what she does. Elise has a way of making you feel comfortable, confident, and deeply understood—and she offers tangible, meaningful guidance that can positively impact every area of your life.”

“I have been following Elise on instagram for a couple of years through her infertility journey while I was also navigating my own and always found her so inspiring. When I saw she was launching her life-coaching business and read what she was all about, I knew I wanted to jump at the opportunity, as this was exactly what I had been looking for in my life. I’ve been in and out of therapy for over 7 years, but as a new mom navigating a whole new season of life, I wasn’t looking for typical “therapy”. I wanted someone to help guide me through this transition, help me put my goals into concrete, actionable steps, and ultimately help me become the best version of myself for the now and my future. And that is EXACTLY what I have found in working with Elise. I leave every session feeling validated and heard, but also challenged to do better and be better. I can’t wait to continue my journey with her and I am incredibly thankful for the work she does!”

“Working with Elise as my life coach from 2021 to 2022 was truly life-changing. At a time when I was struggling with confidence and navigating a tough chapter in college, she was exactly the support I needed. Elise has a unique way of making you feel completely seen and heard—her presence is calm, compassionate, and genuinely uplifting.

Our sessions quickly became a space for growth, reflection, and real transformation. With her guidance, I started stepping out of my comfort zone in ways I never thought possible. She challenged me gently but consistently, helping me build confidence in myself and make decisions from a place of strength rather than fear. She even pushed me out of my comfort zone to go on a date with my now HUSBAND!

What started as a coaching relationship turned into a truly meaningful friendship. Elise's warmth, empathy, and unwavering belief in me made such a difference during that season of my life. I can honestly say I wouldn’t be the person I am today without her support. I’ll always be grateful for the tools she gave me, the breakthroughs I experienced, and the trust we built along the way.

If you're considering working with her—do it. Her impact is lasting, and her heart is all in.”

“I started therapy with Elise right smack dab in the middle of the Covid lockdowns.  After venting to my husband about all the worries, anxiety, and fear I had about the state of the world he kindly said, ‘you probably need to look into talking to someone who is professionally trained to help.’  WOW am I glad I took that advice of his and, through it,  found Elise.

Elise has helped me step out of comfort zone and be vulnerable with the people I love.  Through this vulnerability my connections with others are stronger than I could ever have imagined.  She has helped me through some of the hardest times of my life and I’ve come out stronger and better because I had her guidance to lean on.  She validates my feelings, tells me when I’m right (or wrong), and helps me feel empowered to do what’s best for me.  She has helped take me out of my people pleasing and really make decisions FOR ME which I will be forever grateful for.

My life has been forever changed by having Elise as my therapist and confidant.  I can’t recommend her enough and I am so glad I took my husband’s advice to find HER!”

“I don’t know what I would do without Elise coaching me through my chronic illness journey! I attribute so much of my healing and quality of life to her expertise & advice. Having walked the path of chronic illness, herself, Elise coaches from a place of pure empathy and offers an amazing toolbox to support both mindset resiliency and help you navigate the best solutions & decisions for juggling your disease alongside relationships, career, goals/hobbies, medical appointments and life in all aspects. If you’re looking to achieve deeper healing and level up your life while managing a chronic illness, you are without a doubt 100% on the right path by choosing Elise as your coach.”

“Working with Elise for the past few years has helped me completely elevate all areas of my life.  She has been a rock in my life during many of life's most intense transitions - marriage, baby, job change, pandemic, moving, health issues - you name it! She has helped me see places that I'm playing small both personally and professionally and been my #1 cheerleader to start showing up fully and being seen. I can't thank her enough!”

Barbra J.

“Working with Elise is perhaps the single best decision of my 20’s. Little did I know when we started working together just how integral she would come to be in my life as a friend, mentor and sounding board. Elise has supported me tremendously over the past two years and I cannot recommend her enough. Through the ups and downs of life, through an autoimmune diagnosis, through heartbreak and finding my dream job she has been there cheering me on and challenging me to grow.”
