Hello, my name is Elyse Thren. I am a natural health educator residing in Isabella County with my spouse and two young children. I enjoy gardening, cooking/baking, exploring, lake life and learning more about natural health.

I earned my cosmetology license during high school and spent seven years working in the field. In addition, I hold two associate degrees from Mid Michigan Community College: one in Business Administration and one in Entrepreneurship. I later completed my Bachelor’s degree in Business Management at Northwood University.

My career began with ten years in the business field. During this time, I sustained a neck injury, which led me to seek care from a chiropractor. This experience introduced me to a naturopathic doctor, who expanded my understanding of natural health.

Inspired by these experiences, I began taking classes in natural health and discovered a deep passion for the field. My journey has brought me here, where I now educate and teach others how to care for their mind, body, and spirit through natural means.

My mission is to enlighten and empower individuals to take charge of their own health, sharing the inspiration and knowledge I have gained throughout my personal journey.
