Hi, I'm Elliott. I've spent the last seven years working in public health, and my passion is helping to bridge the gap between healthcare and people's lived experience. I became a health coach because I believe whole-person wellness is a human right, not a luxury.
My coaching style is warm, non-judgmental, and client-centered. I also work from a trauma and equity-informed lens. I identify as Queer, Trans, Neurodivergent, Disabled, Fat, and Polyamorous, and I welcome clients from all walks of life.
When I'm not coaching, you might find me working on a crocheted sweater, hammocking in my backyard, or camping with my family. I look forward to getting to know you!

Body sovereignty - your body, your rules.
Anti-diet culture - food is fuel, not the enemy.
Self-efficacy - you know yourself best, and have the power to make meaningful change.
Perfectionism is a tool of oppression, and it's okay to make mistakes.
AI - I am actively moving away from the use of AI in my life and work. Coaching sessions are never recorded, and I do not use AI to generate notes or messages.

Heartwood Wellness Co. was founded in West Michigan, on the ancestral, traditional, and contemporary lands of the Anishinaabek People of the Three Fires: the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Bodéwadmi. As a guest on this land, I acknowledge that my life, safety, and business directly benefit from the systemic displacement and destruction of Indigenous peoples and their ways of life. I recognize that I inherit the material privileges of settler colonialism perpetrated by my ancestors—a legacy that carries through in my body today. Grounded in this truth, I commit to honoring life, land, and water through conscious learning, supporting Indigenous sovereignty, and the deliberate practice of good stewardship. I strive for this land acknowledgment to be not merely a declaration, but a continuous reminder of the work that remains to be done.
