About Us
Our names are Exelee and Isaiah Ruiz, we were both born & raised in Southern Arizona. We are passionate about animals, gardening, herbs, cooking, swapping knowledge, and helping others.
Exelee's current goal as a coach is to guide you towards your wellness goals, with the intention of one day reaching a point where you don't need her guidance anymore. She makes each coaching plan personalized & unique by using the information that is shared in the first consultation. Therefore, every suggestion made will be with the individual in mind.
She specializes in guiding individuals towards their goals inside and outside of the kitchen, whether it be experimenting with new recipes or implementing mindful self-care techniques. We all struggle with the art of self love sometimes, and she hopes to help others find sustainable ways to keep their body in touch with their mind and soul.
Exelee believes that people at any stage of life would benefit from knowing more about the relationship between their body, their diet, and the world around them. If you are seeking guidance in any of these areas of life, you are welcome to schedule a consultation with her. I look forward to a journey together of finding new ways to reach all your nutritional and wellness goals.
