Welcome to The MVMT Studio

For the past six years, Elisa worked in a hospital-based cardiac rehab program, supporting patients through recovery after heart attacks, heart failure, and other cardiac events. What she saw changed everything.

Hundreds of men completed the program. Only a handful of women did.

Why? Because the traditional model wasn’t built with women in mind.
Women are caregivers. Professionals. Mothers. Partners.
After a cardiac event, they often get just a week or two to recover—before real life calls them back to work, family, and caregiving. The structure of traditional rehab—three days a week, for three months—just isn’t realistic for many women.

Too often, they drop out after just a few sessions. And worse, they internalize it as a personal failure.

That’s when Elisa realized: We don’t need more programs. We need different ones.

Her Heart First was born out of that realization: that women deserve recovery plans and preventive care that actually work for their bodies, their lives, and their responsibilities.

This coaching model reimagines what heart health can look like for women at every life stage—whether navigating pregnancy, healing from a diagnosis, or managing risk during menopause.

With over a decade of experience in exercise physiology, lifestyle medicine, and women’s wellness, Elisa built this program to honor women’s real-world challenges—and help them rise with support, not shame.
