Hi, I’m Elaine Dusetzina – founder of Evoke Strong Health and Wellness LLC.

It’s blessing to be a part of your wellness journey! 

I’m a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach with a heart for wellness. I’m here to provide the support you need to implement healthy lifestyle behaviors and take care of your body, mind, and spirit.

Being able to transform my health has driven my passion for helping others do the same. I believe in the power of healthy behaviors as the path to restoring the body and mind to balance. So, let’s bring out your strengths as you stay true to your values while making impactful changes to revitalize your wellbeing.

Evoke Strong Origins

Evoke Strong was born out of my own health transformation. After leaving the Navy to become a stay-at-home mom, I poured everything into my kids and let my own self-care slip. I skipped checkups, thinking I was fine—after all, I had just run the Marine Corps Marathon.

Do you see your doctor yearly, or have you been skipping out too?

But in November 2015, a routine doctor’s visit revealed something I never expected: high glucose (A1C) and triglycerides pointing to insulin resistance. I was shocked. How could this happen when I was so active? My doctor wasn’t concerned, but I knew deep down something wasn’t right.

Have you had unexpected and concerning results after a doctor’s visit?

That wake-up call pushed me to dig deeper. I realized my running was adding stress, my nutrition was off, my sleep was poor, and I wasn’t truly caring for myself.

It became clear: to serve well, I needed to be well.

I began making small, intentional lifestyle changes—better nourishment, balanced movement, improved sleep, and stress management. Even when it wasn’t easy, one thing that helped me take steps forward was envisioning my life in the future.  Being well meant I can best serve God’s purpose for me. I realized when my vessel is empty, those whom I love are most impacted.  Within a year, the results were transformative. I felt strong, healthy, and grounded in purpose.

Evoke Strong was created to guide other women through this same journey—because lasting health isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about building habits that help you thrive so you can live fully and serve wholeheartedly.

At Evoke Strong, we believe you can transform your health through positive lifestyle changes. With compassion and a focus on growth, we create a supportive space where you build self-awareness and confidence to make lasting changes.

FUN FACTS ABOUT ME

  • When I was 12, my family (mom and 3 siblings – Dad was already in the U.S.) immigrated to the U.S. from the Philippines. I remember I was so excited to see water flow out of a faucet in our 1-bedroom apartment that I volunteered to wash the dishes every day! Growing up without running water – meaning no showers or flushable toilets- helped me develop a greater sense of gratitude. I’m definitely grateful for all blessings – big or small.
  • My love for running started when I joined the cross-country team in high school. I dream of finishing all six World Marathon Majors (3 more to go! – Tokyo, London, and Berlin) before turning 60. Running marathons helped me discover a part of me that I didn’t even know was there. Notably, the depths of my strength in mind and spirit as I dove deep inside to get through the most challenging parts of many races. As a result, I understand how resilience is built when we learn to overcome our biggest obstacles.
  • Receiving an NROTC scholarship in my first year in college was one huge blessing! It set me on the path to serve as a Naval Officer for 11 years. In the Navy is where I learned to become a mature and responsible adult. Where I harnessed courage and developed a thicker skin. It’s where I also learned how to connect and interact with a myriad of personalities. Best of all, I met lifelong friends and the love of my life.  Being a part of the military has led me to where I am today.
  • Motherhood has changed me to be a better person – more loving, more patient, and having pure joy. The best part of motherhood is bearing witness to two playful, fun-loving, and kindhearted souls grow in front of my very eyes. My heart has grown exponentially with so much love and compassion because of them.
  • To be a believer is transformative, that my renewed faith in God has pulled me in the direction of serving His purpose. 1 Peter 4:10 – As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.
