About Elaine
Welcome to my corner of the world :)
I’m Elaine, here to support you toward better health and well-being.
Whether your goal is to lose weight, stop overeating, feel more at ease in your body, or improve your overall well-being, you’re in the right place.
My Mission: Empowering Women to Thrive
I’m passionate about helping women make lasting, meaningful changes in their lives.
Whether you want to reach your weight goals, feel more energized, or build a more peaceful relationship with food, my mission is to help you create habits that fit your life and make room for enjoyment along the way.
I believe the best results come from simplifying, not overcomplicating, the process.
As a Certified Nutritionist and National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach, I’ve spent over 15 years supporting clients on their health and weight loss journeys—helping them develop healthier habits, build confidence, and achieve sustainable results without extremes or all-or-nothing thinking.
My Approach: Simple, Sustainable, and Effective
My approach blends practical structure with the flexibility needed to navigate real life. It’s grounded in science-backed strategies and timeless wellness principles, not in transient diet fads or trends.
These principles form the foundation of The Elegant Eating Method™—a flexible framework I’ve developed over the years of working with clients.
It’s designed to help you simplify meals, break free from unhelpful eating patterns, follow through on your plans with more confidence and ease, and create a healthier, more balanced approach to food and well-being—whether your goal is to lose weight, quiet the food noise, or simply feel better in your body.
a bit about me
I currently call Toronto, Ontario home, where I live with my husband, but I have the privilege of working with women all over the world through my online health and nutrition coaching practice.
-
I graduated with First Class Honours from the Institute of Holistic Nutrition (IHN) in Toronto in 2008 where I earned the Certified Nutritional Practitioner (CNP) designation.
-
I'm also a National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) and a Master Certified Health Coach through Precision Nutrition (PN).
-
My academic background includes an Honours Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Guelph, but my true passion led me back to school to study nutrition and health.
-
I’ve provided health and wellness consulting to various companies and organizations, developing and implementing programs that support employee health and well-being, and promoting a balanced approach to work-life integration.
-
Having lived and worked in Osaka, Japan, I had the opportunity to travel extensively across East and Southeast Asia, enriching my appreciation for diverse food cultures and traditions.
-
My original website and blog was called “I Like Real Food,” but as my business evolved, I rebranded to reflect my expanding coaching practice. (Don’t worry—I still love real food! :))
-
My happy place is in the kitchen, creating simple and beautiful meals. Cooking relaxes me and brings me peace. You’ll also find me exploring the vineyards of the Niagara region, where I grew up and escape to on weekends.
