About Elizabeth
I created Siena Wellness to inspire people to make choices that positively impact their own health and wellness while improving the world we share. With each season of life, I have grown and adapted this community to reflect my values and offer support wherever I can. I've worked in rural communities in Central America, collaborated to improve health & wellness in New York City, worked in global education, and am currently harnessing my fierce passion to support women and mothers in the DC area.

I thought I understood the value of community - then I gave birth to my daughter in November 2015. It truly does take a village to raise a child - and a mother - and I am incredibly grateful for the strength and support provided by my friends, family, colleagues and mentors.
I made some big changes to Siena Wellness that put community at the heart of my work and allowed me to support women from pregnancy through motherhood - a transformation that is truly life-changing. |
I am so thankful that I get to wake up every day doing work I love and maintaining the balance that allows me to be a big part of my daughter's life in these early years. With another child on the way, I hope I'll be able to share even more as my family grows.
