Thanks kindly for taking the time to connect! Allow me to share a few things with you:
​
I've had the privilege of working with 700+ professionals in the NY metro area where I witnessed not just the dedication and desire for self-care but the gap that coaching conversation bridges between just getting by and living well. This was the very inspiration that led me here to pursue my own business.
My practice is rooted in integrative self-care practices of all sorts, coming home to presence and regaining self-trust in an accessible way. It is my dharma (think: life's purpose) and deepest wish to help others return to this natural state of being though conversation, introspection, tapping into the well of insight you (yes, you) already have. This coaching work honors your values and desires completely, weaving in tools to leverage along the way. We shift smarter, not harder!
The path I've traveled to-date includes 600+ hours of yoga education that has equipped me to be an Advanced Teacher of Yoga Therapeutics. Currently, I am deep in study to become a Yoga Therapist through Kripalu School of Integrative Yoga Therapy (pending completion 2026).
I hold my masters in Health and Wellness Coaching with a concentration in Integrative Practices (M.A), a bachelors in Kinesiology (B.A), and I am board certified by the National Board of Health and Wellness Coaches (NBC-HWC). Energy work (Reiki, muscle-testing), life coaching and evidence-based mindfulness have been generously sprinkled into my professional development as well.
​
When I'm not collaborating or in conversation, you can surely find me in a hammock and connecting with the elements in some fashion. I enjoy nothing more than a long-weekend Airbnb trip to change the scenery as much as the energy and usually have my camera on my hip. As many creatives are, I'm a multi-passionate entrepreneur. I created Elise Cusimano Photography 10 years ago where I channel a love for capturing those engaging with their craft and passion (broadly, lifestyle) as well as the new, tiny humans in newborn photography.
