Elaine McDaniel, FMCA Certified Coach, RYT
As a functional medicine coach, I truly enjoy turning what appears to be complicated into simple steps meant to lessen overwhelm and exploring how to incorporate changes. I work with you to design workable solutions for your needs.
"Coaching with Elaine is like having a warm cup of tea with your best and unconditionally accepting friend. She has a way of gently steering you towards epiphanies and then offering clear-eyed perspectives and tools for navigating these within yourself and out in the world. Working with Elaine has resulted in increased self-care and self-love, true gifts! I highly recommend her services."
~ Dr. E. Polinard PHD, RN
Food as medicine
I have had personal experience with how food affects our lives as I overcame complicated health issues with supportive foods, herbs, and supplements. 2 of my 3 children had health issues related to food, which gives me a unique understanding of what changing your diet involves.
I am currently working on a cook book and am also available to “revamp” your kitchen and shopping experiences.
I have studied herbs, nutrition, and yoga for over 30 years. I am practicing PAYA (Passive Assisted Yoga Alignment) which is a modified Thai Yoga body work, bringing all of my knowledge together to maximize the body, mind, and spirit experience. I studied anatomy and "resist and release" with Deane Juhan (Job's Body and Trager). While my Yoga Teacher training is under "Hatha", my experience is with alignment based (Iyengar) using props and proper alignment to relieve the stresses of life. I like to think of "my" style of yoga as "adaptive yoga" supporting all body types as well as accommodating and supporting injuries.
My personal philosophy around yoga is, it is not a competitive sport, it is a thoughtful and mindful practice designed to support the body on many levels.
I am very curious and science driven.

"What a delight it was to find Elaine and finally make progress in my resistance weight loss. The surprise is how many other health issues have improved since I have shifted my diet and become more aware of how food is affecting me. I am 70 years old and have more energy this week than I've had in years, along with the delight of looking in the mirror to see clear skin and no psoriasis." Pat Cuney, J.D. Mediator
"Elaine has such practical wisdom. She is my "go to" person for all things health. I know she has the natural solutions to most any problem and can find help for my family if I need support. I do not know anyone who studies as much as she does. She loves sharing her extensive knowledge." Rosita Alvarez, LMT, Resonance Repatterning Practitioner
