Elizabeth Whalen

I am originally from New York City but now live in South Carolina. I love this part of the country because it allows me to raise my son, Parker, in a beautiful area where we can enjoy the outdoors more often, which means a lot to me.

When I’m not at work, I like going for hikes, doing yoga, going to festivals, exploring new places on road trips, or taking time to slow down and enjoy a great book. I also hold certifications in life coaching, meditation, yoga, and a form of holistic healing known as Ayurveda.
