It's Your Time To THRIVE!
Marquita Ell is a board certified holistic health coach & herbalist, with an online practice in St. Louis, Mo specializing in lifestyle medicine, emotional fitness & weight loss for women.
Since 2006, she's been on a mission to heal. What started on the workout floors of Gold's Gym as a NESTA certified master trainer and NASM certified nutrition coach has expanded into her own private practice with the launch of Ell's Wellness LLC in 2018. Beginning in 2019 Coach Ell became a certified herbalist through Bitter Herb Academy, a graduate of Legacy Holistic Health Institute in 2020 w/ 2021 Hall of Fame Induction, board certified in 2021 through the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaches and its collaboration with the National Board of Medical Examiners and certified as a corporate wellness coach through the Spencer Institute in 2023.
With accompanying bachelor's and master's degrees in Communications, what sets her apart from other health coaches is her unique approach to healing. Communication is her wild card; developing the necessary tools for clients to release burnout, overcome impostor syndrome, improve on the job performance, boost emotional resilience and enhance physical well-being. Coach Ell is teaching her clients how to slow down, reconnect with their health and THRIVE in every aspect of career and life.
Outside of her professional titles, she considers wife, bonus mom, daughter, sister, aunt and friend to be her most valued roles of all. Coach Ell has also recently picked up a new hobby; playing the ukulele.
In the words of our founder,
"If you didn't come from good health, let good health come from you."

Today, at 75 after surviving the COVID pandemic and treatment for Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, both my blood pressure and diabetes are under control.
I’ve never been as excited as I am now and can’t wait to see what happens next.
All I can offer is never give up.
It took me 54 years

Empowering clients to design a life of inner peace, harmony & great health.
In today's fast-paced & demanding world, it's easy to get caught up in the hustle of everyday life, often neglecting your own well-being.
Together, we will:
- Identify your health goals: Define your specific health objectives and understand the areas of your life where you want to see positive lifestyle changes.
- Slow down: Listen to, and reconnect with your emotions, in order to replace negative thought patterns with more positive ones that support you feeling healthy, happy and well.
- Visualize your success: Envision the vibrant & healthy life you desire, allowing you to stay motivated and focused on your goals throughout your coaching journey.
- Learn how to build: A more loving relationship with yourself first, in order to gain more confidence and resilience.
- Transform your mindset: In a way that empowers you to not give up on your health goals, in spite of inconsistencies or challenging times.
- Empower you: To become more proactive rather reactive to life's stressors and midlife changes.
- Bring you back to balance: That works in harmony with your current & future health and life goals.
DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
- You are highly accomplished in life, but still struggle to establish a healthy relationship with your mind & body.
- You tend to be overly critical and hard on yourself when things don't go as planned. You don't feel like you can afford to mess up.
- You are better at taking care of others than you are at taking care of yourself.
- You have a go-getter, do it all mentality which keeps you in a constant state of overwork, overthinking and overwhelm.
- You identify as being a superwoman, perfectionist or a people pleaser.
I empower clients to medicate themselves with positive lifestyle change and compassion - and my motto, go hard on your goals and soft on yourself."

Our Whole Person Approach
Lifestyle Medicine
Applying the 6 pillars of lifestyle medicine- daily nourishment, daily movement, quality sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky behaviors and healthy relationships has been proven to prevent or reduce the risk of lifestyle-based chronic conditions by up to 80%. No other form of medicine can match that.
Holistic Health
We coach the person, not the problem; therefore we take a comprehensive approach to healing that addresses all aspects, including the physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual components of health.
Soft Living
A soft life means taking more active steps toward making yourself a priority. A reminder to the nervous system that you are a delicate humanbeing who requires downtime, compassion, rest and recovery in order to live a healthy, successful and balanced life.
