Elisabeth has a natural gift of healing the body. Seven years ago I was in a major car accident that left me in constant pain. Then in 2005 I had kidney surgery that left added to my already significant back pain. Due to my back’s weakened state, I found that I kept re-injuring it which directly affected my quality of life. In 2008 I met Elisabeth who has helped me tremendously. She started me out slowly, stretching and strengthening me with Yoga and various therapeutic exercises. She was incredibly compassionate and caring. She brought with her a smile, energy, and more knowledge of anyone I have ever worked with in my life. She never hesitated to answer my questions, and with an incredible amount of determination, she never gave up. After working with Elisabeth I would get compliments from my family of how good I looked (I was a model for 15 years) and more importantly I could sleep better, walk better, move better and my quality of life improved immensely. My needs we not as crucial anymore but my time with Elisabeth was, and because of her I am a better wife, mother and woman. She is an incredible woman, trained healer, and someone I would recommend to any person that wants to feel and look better. She helps her clients get strong and healthy in mind, body and spirit. I am proud to know Elisabeth Kahan.

“My physical and emotional journey with Elisabeth has lasted more than 10 years. What started out to be strength training has developed into so much more. Elisabeth has the ability to combine strength training, flexibility training, nutritional assistance (great recipes), emotional and self growth and the knowledge to only do what is appropriate for each person. I personally have several physical problems but I have been able to play golf, take care of grandchildren which wasn’t possible without her expertise. Elisabeth is a breath of fresh air each time she arrives with all of her equipment. Elisabeth is ALWAYS reading , keeping current with new methods and equipment. My personal journey has been aided by our thought provoking conversations. Her workouts are never boring because she takes the time to design each workout to be a little different than the last but only as challenging as she feels is needed. I work hard, feel better but I always hate to see her go.”

“I began working with Elisabeth 7 weeks after the birth of my second child. After I had my first child, I never made my health a priority. I let myself become overwhelmed by my career, being a wife, and mostly being a mom. But I was not truly happy with myself or my life. Elisabeth guided me on a journey of healthiness and wellness that went beyond losing my ‘baby weight’. She taught me about food and nutrition in a way that made it easier for me to eat healthfully. This new awareness has permanently and very positively changed the way I feed my family. It actually prompted me to finally become truly interested in cooking. Elisabeth individualized my fitness training to meet my specific needs and areas of concern. Throughout our relationship, she mentored and supported me in my quest to find balance. Elisabeth is a very talented, engaging, warm, and positive professional who can brighten and enlighten anyone on their journey.”

“Elisabeth’s body camp was great! We did exercises that were a combination of Yoga and Pilates with cardio included that provided quite a challenging workout. She was full of tidbits of helpful information including handouts of healthy recipes and motivational articles. Since it was a small class each of us enjoyed personal attention to form and specific problem areas. Elisabeth is very enthusiastic and you can tell she loves what she does. Her enthusiasm is contagious and motivating! I highly recommend this class!”

“I have known and worked out with Elisabeth on and off for over 10 years. She knows how to motivate people in a kind, gentle and loving way. Elisabeth takes her knowledge of the mind, body and spirit and integrates it into your workout, working in all three dimensions of health and wellness. She keeps it fun and interesting by always mixing things up, staying current in her field, and learning new things. Elisabeth is a true blessing to me.”

About Elisabeth

“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.

Body Camp

Body Camp with Elisabeth Kahan, M.S.

Ongoing Tuesday and Thursday mornings

Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 8:30am
Located at Spiritrek Retreat Center
150 Vaquero Dr., Templeton CA.

Body Camp is not your traditional boot camp. It is a workout that goes to the next level through education and instruction. We start with a series of Eischens Yoga Poses to activate, lengthen, strengthen and align the body. Next we warm up in a dynamic fashion to wake up the body on all planes of movement and finally we finish with a boot camp style circuit workout to optimize your cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength, and toning.

You will not only get a terrific workout but you will learn so much about how to make your body move and function optimally. You will learn how to activate and utilize your core strength, how to expand and elongate your muscles, proper body alignment, how to strengthen weak muscles and release overactive ones, how to elongate and lengthen the spine, increase your range of motion and find your balanced body.

This workout is made suitable for many different levels by showing modifications and encouraging participants to work at their own level. There is no intimidation, just lots of fun, support and healthy exercise. Participants must not have any major muscular or orthopedic issues.

This will be a fun, warm, non-intimidating environment where we encourage and support one another to be fit, healthy and full of vitality.

This four week session also includes a weekly recipe and inspirational quote, free Intuitive Eating advice and spot coaching.

$160 for the four week camp.
