Ellen Palmer is an award-winning Certified Holistic Health & Life Design Coach, CEO, National Speaker, Philanthropist, Corporate Wellness Specialist and Wellness Business Consultant. Her work inspires young adults, professionals and entrepreneurs to create and enjoy their ideal life.
She believes that the body, mind and spirit are intricately linked for happiness and well-being and that lasting success comes from practicing simple yet powerful daily habits in all of these areas to support who we uniquely are. This is the basis of her Ideal Life Method, the program she founded that has helped thousands of people get unstuck, find balance and live inspired.
Prior to launching her own successful businesses, Ellen enjoyed a 10-year career in National Account Sales and Marketing for one of the world’s premier insurers and Fortune 100 companies, Cigna Corporation where she also had the unique honor of helping to build one of their subsidiary brands.
During her corporate and consulting years, she moved quickly through the ranks and received numerous awards for excellence in sales, training, customer service, leadership, and team development. However, her health and happiness were the price she paid for success.
After years of putting her personal needs last and coping with health challenges that came with that neglect, Ellen left her corporate career to focus on her own wellbeing both physically and emotionally. She immersed herself in researching alternative and functional medicine. In just 24 months, she healed her allergies, IBS, hormone imbalance and anxiety with dietary and lifestyle changes. These proved to be life changing; not only for her own life, but also for her entire family.
After graduating from The Institute For Integrative Nutrition, Ellen continued her studies in Behavioral Change and Emotional Wellbeing Techniques through a variety of nationally recognized courses and seminars. She created her own Ideal Life and went on to create Ellen Palmer Wellness in 2009.
She has since helped thousands around the globe transform their busy lives, take control of their health and happiness and develop the skill to create lasting change for themselves, their families and in their businesses.
In 2015, Ellen also Co-Founded Healing Meals Community Project, a 501c3 non-profit as a way to support families facing a health crisis while engaging youth in leadership skill development. The meals are 100% organic and are prepared by youth chefs. (www.healingmealsproject.org)
