I’m Coach Kenya Elliott, a Best-Selling Author, Retired Professional Counselor, and Behavioral Specialist who has dedicated my life to helping others achieve true wellness.
Through my work as a Transformation Coach and founder of I.R.I.S.E., I’m honored to empower individuals to overcome life’s greatest challenges and embrace lives filled with health, strength, and self-love. My journey began in adversity, but today, my mission is clear: to help people rise above struggles and find a new path to lasting transformation.
From my own journey of incredible transformation to the creation of I.R.I.S.E., my purpose is to establish a worldwide movement that redefines wellness, focusing not only on physical health but also on mental and emotional wellness. Here’s a glimpse into who I am, what drives me, and how I.R.I.S.E. is designed to address the worldwide epidemic of obesity and emotional struggles that many face.
My story is one of resilience, faith, and relentless determination. I grew up facing immense challenges, including childhood trauma, poverty, and severe health struggles that eventually brought me to my deathbed. At my peak weight of 592 pounds, I found myself eating to die, using food as a way to cope with pain, trauma, and feelings of unworthiness. I was preparing for my funeral, convinced that my life was over.
But in that moment of despair, I made a choice: to fight. Step by step, I began to reclaim my life, ultimately shedding 479 pounds naturally through a unique blend of mindset shifts, behavior changes, and consistent, realistic strategies. At my lowest weight of 122 pounds, I experienced a transformation not only in my body but in my mind and spirit. My journey taught me that, no matter how daunting life’s challenges may seem, we all have the power to rise.
This journey inspired my purpose. As a retired Professional Counselor and Behaviorist, I used my expertise to develop programs that tackle the root causes of emotional eating, food addiction, and generational obesity. Through I.R.I.S.E., I now dedicate my life to helping others who feel trapped, just as I once did, find their way to freedom and health.
The epidemic of obesity, mental health struggles, and emotional eating affects millions around the world. I created I.R.I.S.E. to address this crisis with a holistic, therapeutic approach that goes beyond just weight loss. My vision is to empower people with the tools and support they need for true, sustainable wellness. Here’s how I.R.I.S.E. makes a difference:
Transformative Programs:
I’ve designed offerings like the 5-Week Weight Loss Mindset Transformation Program and the soon-to-launch 12-Week Transformation Program to break unhealthy cycles and foster lasting lifestyle changes. These programs emphasize therapeutic coaching, emotional resilience, and comprehensive support, meeting people wherever they are in their journey.
Daily Support and Accountability:
Through the I.R.I.S.E. Tribe, I’ve built a community where individuals find daily support, encouragement, and accountability. I know firsthand that true transformation requires more than just willpower—it requires a community that uplifts and motivates every step of the way.
Mindset and Behavior Coaching:
Drawing on my experience as a professional counselor and behaviorist, I coach clients to shift their mindset, improve their self-worth, and build resilience. I.R.I.S.E. isn’t about quick fixes; it’s about rewriting the relationship with oneself and food, helping people unlock a new way of living.
Holistic Products and Tools:
From I.R.I.S.E. athleisure wear to customized wellness tools, each product is crafted to support clients on their journey. These pieces aren’t just clothing or accessories—they’re reminders of strength, designed to empower and motivate.
We’re facing a global epidemic—not only of obesity but of mental health challenges, emotional pain, and generational cycles that keep people feeling trapped. My mission is to expand I.R.I.S.E. to reach as many people as possible, breaking down the barriers that prevent individuals from achieving wellness.
I’m committed to making I.R.I.S.E. accessible worldwide through virtual coaching, online communities, and resources that people can access from anywhere. My goal is to offer affordable, effective options that support people in creating real, lasting change.
Education is at the heart of everything I do. By helping people understand the root causes of their struggles with weight and wellness, I’m empowering them to make informed, lasting changes. I.R.I.S.E. is more than a brand; it’s a legacy of wellness that can create ripple effects across families, communities, and generations.
My vision for I.R.I.S.E. extends far beyond individual coaching and products. I want to inspire a global movement where people can break free from generational cycles of unhealthy habits, emotional struggles, and physical illness. Through speaking engagements, partnerships, and outreach, I’m working to make wellness a way of life worldwide.
Wellness is not a journey we have to take alone. The I.R.I.S.E. Tribe is a supportive, empowering community that values resilience, self-love, and strength. Every product, program, and piece of advice I share comes from a place of understanding and empathy. I know the depths of feeling defeated, and I know the freedom of overcoming it.
In the I.R.I.S.E. Tribe, we believe in rising together. We believe in lifting each other up, celebrating every victory, and supporting each other through every challenge. I created this community so that no one has to face their battles alone. With daily coaching, early access to exclusive products, and a supportive network that genuinely cares, the Tribe offers all the resources needed for lasting change.
Let’s Rise Together
If you’re ready to start your journey, know that you’re not alone. I’m here to guide, support, and celebrate with you every step of the way. Together, we’ll tackle the challenges, celebrate the victories, and create a future filled with health, resilience, and joy. With I.R.I.S.E., you gain a coach, a community, and a whole new way of approaching wellness.
