JILL TANIS, CO-FOUNDER
Jill Tanis is a personal story in motion, sharing the good news that it is possible to experience true freedom from weighing, dieting, obsessing, counting and living in a body with pent up blame, guilt, shame and victimhood.
Two years into college, she found herself completely malnourished, profoundly depressed and fighting the most intense eating disorder. With an open and willing heart in pursuit of healing, Jill discovered the power of non-conventional therapies that deeply changed and healed her from the inside out, discovering lasting freedom with food and body. No more counting, obsessing, dieting, or weighing.
From this experience, she discovered her life’s passion to help women create lasting mindful transformation with food and body and soul. It isn’t a quick fix. She holds space for the deep work to be done and sits alongside you, exactly where you are, with love, grace and undivided attention.
A playful, curious spirit and lover of delicious food and life around the table, Jill will inspire and challenge you to show up fully for yourself with honesty, authenticity and love.

ANGELLE BATTEN, CO-FOUNDER
Years ago Angelle Batten was struggling with sugar addiction, severe PMS and debilitating depression. While she initially chose to use conventional medicine to help herself, she intuitively knew that what she was experiencing would not be healed by taking prescription drugs. She decided to follow her gut and look deeper into why she was feeling such imbalance.
Once Angelle opened up her mind and heart to true healing, she began to learn how to tune into her body and spirit to discover how to live a truly nourished life. Angelle dove into nutrition and holistic health and with the help of many mentors and guides, she’s embraced a holistic approach to health and deeply understands that physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health are woven together and all have to be addressed for true healing.
Angelle draws on her experiences, knowledge and skillful coaching to support women who are ready to create a sweeter life (with a lot less sugar!). A life they love waking up to each morning and are grateful for each evening.
Angelle is the co-founder of The Nourish to Flourish Society. She is a teacher at heart, studying Elementary Education at the University of Detroit and earning her Master of Education Administration through Wayne State University.

Angelle has coached thousands in person and through her highly recognized 14-Day Get REAL Challenge, which was adopted by New York Times Best Selling Author and Wellness expert, Jordan Rubin.
