I'M READY NOWHi, I'm Elissa!
I am a Domestic Abuse Advocate
Welcome to my nook of healing, empowerment, and transformation. My name is Elissa Swihart, and I stand before you as a survivor, advocate, and coach dedicated to supporting individuals on their journey to reclaiming their power and breaking free from the cycle of abuse.
Peek Into My Beginnings:
My journey into the world of coaching and advocacy began long before I stepped into the role of a coach. As a survivor of domestic abuse, I intimately understand the complexities of navigating the aftermath of trauma and rebuilding a life filled with purpose, resilience, and hope.
A Survivor's Story:
I still remember the warmth of the spotlight as I hosted my own radio show, "Country Nights Live with Elissa." It was a dream come true—a platform to connect with listeners, share stories, and spread joy through music. However, amidst the applause and accolades, there lurked a shadow—a shadow from my past, waiting to engulf me once more.

My Story Continued..
The Dark Path:
One fateful night, an old flame resurfaced, igniting a spark that would soon engulf my life in flames. Seduced by promises of love and devotion, I found myself entangled in a web of manipulation and deceit. The honeymoon stage quickly faded, revealing the true face of abuse lurking beneath the surface.
Love, Lies, and Ultimatums:
As the relationship progressed, so too did the abuse. What began as subtle manipulation soon escalated into acts of violence and control. Yet, in the throes of fear and desperation, I clung to the illusion of love, unwilling to confront the harsh reality of my situation.
Breaking Point:
It wasn't until I found myself sitting alone in my car, my son asleep in the backseat, that I realized the magnitude of my predicament. With tears streaming down my face, I made a decision—one that would alter the course of my life forever. Gathering what little strength I had left, I fled into the night, leaving behind the shattered remnants of my former life.
The Road to Healing:
The journey to healing was long and arduous, filled with moments of despair and triumph. From couch surfing to shelter stays, I navigated the unfamiliar terrain of homelessness with a determination born of necessity. Yet, amidst the chaos and uncertainty, I discovered a reservoir of resilience within myself—a resilience that would carry me through the darkest of days.
Empowerment Through Education:
Education became my lifeline—a beacon of hope amidst the darkness. Through survivor-led initiatives and community resources, I gained the knowledge and tools I needed to reclaim my power and rebuild my life from the ground up. From trauma-informed yoga classes to nutritional education programs, I embraced every opportunity for growth and healing.
