History

Established in 2004.

Total Health by Elizabeth was founded in 2004 by Elizabeth Sherman. Elizabeth Sherman is a certified Wellness Coach, Personal Trainer and Sports Nutritionist, but considers herself a Health Educator. Elizabeth has over 10 years experience training adults; her philosophy being that education is essential to changing our behaviors. Elizabeth began her career in the computer field, but it was through her own pursuit of fitness that she found her passion in exercise and nutrition, and chose to change careers to total health and wellness.

Her approach to wellness is one that focuses on balance & making wellness work within the confines of our lives through incrementally small behavior changes. «If changes are too rigidly different from where we are today, we aren’t going to stick with the new behaviors (healthy eating or adding activity into our day). If we don’t feel comfortable, then we are more likely to lapse into old behaviors.»

Meet the Business Owner

Elizabeth S.

Business Owner

In the spring of 2001, Elizabeth’s mother passed away from Breast Cancer. Although just starting an exercise routine the year prior, Elizabeth had continually struggled with her weight. It was through researching Breast Cancer causes that she finally understood the possible long term health impact of her poor eating habits and excess body weight as they are major contributors to diseases such as Heart Disease, Diabetes, Hypertension and Cancer.

Although it took a few years and plenty of mistakes, making gradual changes to her lifestyle choices that allowed her to go from a 22 dress size to a 6.

In the winter of 2003, working as a Business Analyst for a software company, Elizabeth realized that her true calling in life was to educate and inspire others to lead healthier lives. «If I can prevent just one person from losing their life to cancer, I’ll have succeeded in making the world a better place.»
