“There comes that mysterious meeting in life when someone acknowledges who we are and what we can be, igniting the circuits of our highest potential.” –Rusty Berkus
Elisabeth started Total Lifestyle Consulting in 1996 as a medium for her to share her passions in life. Originally her mission was to help others feel physically healthier and more confident, but as she evolved, so has Total Lifestyle Consulting. Today her goal for TLC is to help others be the best they can be in mind, body & spirit.
Elisabeth has been involved in the health and fitness industry since 1988 with added experience in the medical and rehabilitation community. She has a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Science from Slippery Rock University, Slippery Rock, PA. and a Master of Science degree in Physical Education and Kinesiology/Wellness Management from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, CA. She is certified by the American Council on Exercise (ACE) as a fitness instructor and is a member of the International Association of Fitness Professionals (IDEA). She is a certified Pilates instructor and certified through Jon Hinds and the Monkey Bar Gym as a CNT (Certified Natural Trainer) which focuses on functional fitness training and Eischens Yoga. Elisabeth is also a certified Life Coach through Coach University, an international known coach training program.
A native to the east coast (a small town in Pennsylvania to be exact), Elisabeth moved to the Central Coast of California to attend Graduate school at California Polytechnic State University (CalPoly). She loved the area so much that she never left. While working in Physical Therapy at a local hospital, she was asked by one of her co-workers to be their Personal Trainer (they had heard that she had done this in college). She loaded up her car with as much equipment as she could haul and before she knew it her In-home Personal Fitness Training business was born. Elisabeth’s clientele grew rapidly and provided her with a way to stay in San Luis Obispo, the town she fell in love with. Not only was a business born but so was her passion, helping to empower people to be the best that they can be. Elisabeth is dedicated to supporting and motivating her clients and helping them to care for themselves physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
The joy that her work brings her and her passion for being a catalyst for change in her clients’ lives lead Elisabeth to the profession of Coaching. It was a natural fit since she had been coaching, through her fitness training, since the inception of her business in 1996. Now, with the added service of Life Coaching, Total Lifestyle Consulting has the capabilities to meet your every need… body… mind… and spirit. Elisabeth now lives on the central coast with her twin daughters. She is dedicated to being a positive role model to her daughters and teaching them to be loving, empowered, strong and healthy young women.
