Elyssa Penney

Elyssa came aboard the Barbell Therapy staff after being a patient for some chronic low back pain that she didn’t think would ever get better. She comes to us with over ten years experience working as a manager and nutritional therapy practitioner at a natural healing center looking to improve health through nutrition, diet, and lifestyle changes. She knew there was a creative side she had that she was passionate about and decided to switch her career path. She joined our team as marketing director with her purpose being to help build our brand so we can help more people who are in many situations much like she was, find relief and experience a better quality of life.

She acts as our marketing director and is responsible for all our email marketing, events, promos, social media, workshops, networking, podcast, and strategic planning.

She also plays the role of our in house nutritionist and helps any of our customers who are struggling with nutrition, digestive issues, inflammation, and performance get back on the right track.

Elyssa received her bachelors of Nutrition and Wellness from the University of New Hampshire and completed further specialty training as a nutritional therapy practitioner through the Nutritional Therapy Association. She is also a certified personal trainer through the National Academy of Sports Medicine.

In her free time you can find Elyssa working out, skateboarding with her husky Gatsby, or traveling.
