About Elisa Calosso:
Elisa Calosso supports high-achieving women shift from burnout to burning desire, without burning out again. After 15+ years climbing the corporate Human Resources ladder and silently battling anxiety, panic attacks, and insomnia, Elisa hit a turning point: more meds weren’t the answer. Healing at the root was.
Her mission is to support professional women and business owners in spotting the early signs of burnout and doing something about it before they hit a wall. She helps them uncover the emotional patterns, beliefs, and survival habits that silently drive exhaustion. Her clients don’t just find calm, they reclaim their joy, voice, and vitality. They stop operating on autopilot and start living on purpose.
