Elena Brown, also known as Elle, is a holistic health and wellness coach with a passion for sharing the benefits of juicing. Born in New Orleans, Brown has always been influenced by the culture, food, music, and people of the region. After obtaining her Bachelor of Science in Marketing and Mass Communication degree from Southeastern Louisiana University, she began her career in the non-profit sector before transitioning into instructional design. In this role, Brown has worked for a Fortune 500 company creating and delivering instructional materials and experiences for both digital and physical assets.
In addition to her professional pursuits, Brown is a mother of two who became interested in holistic health when her teenage daughter was prescribed a month’s worth of antibiotics for a skin issue. Seeking a better solution, Brown connected with a holistic doctor, and after 90 days of dietary changes and herbal supplements, her daughter’s skin began to clear. This experience inspired Brown to further educate herself in holistic health, becoming a certified health coach and master herbalist.
It was through her own struggles with health and wellness that Brown turned to juicing, sparking a desire to share her healthy and tasty recipes online and gaining a following in the process.
“I was going through a tough time emotionally, I was encouraged by my therapist to find a way to express myself and show up for myself, so I chose to share my love for juicing and holistic wellness,” Brown shared. “It was something that had been near and dear to my heart for years, and I leaned into it at that time to nourish myself emotionally and physically. Although I’d practiced and studied this lifestyle for years, I’d never really let people into that side of myself until recently. However, when I did, it took off!”
Brown’s goal is to encourage others to prioritize their health and show how small changes can make a big impact. She is particularly passionate about women’s health issues and aims to educate others about natural remedies for common health issues within the community.
“Women are the pillars of humanity. I am a black woman and mother who desires to empower and encourage other matriarchs to find and use natural tools to care for themselves first, their families and communities,” she said.
Although she did not originally set out to become a social media influencer or teacher in the health and wellness space, Brown believes that sharing the things that have helped her maintain peace and achieve health and mental clarity is a part of her purpose. “I believe it is a part of my purpose to create content and safe spaces for people to learn and grow in that area,” she said. “God cleared the path, and I’m just walking in it.”
On her way to further developing her brand, Elena Brown also aims to empower people through holistic wellness. “I want them to know that small changes in their life can lead to big and positive impacts,” she excitedly shared. “I want them to know they are worthy of living a full, abundant, well life!”
