Ann Chisholm
Owner + CoachBorn and raised in Quispamsis, New Brunswick, Ann’s interest in nutrition and fitness began at 14 while playing high-level basketball and experimenting with being a vegetarian. She played university basketball in Halifax where she completed a bachelor’s degree in public relations and marketing. During this time, she also struggled with disordered eating and hit a low with weight, energy, stress and the inability to keep up with her team. She knew she had to make a change and she decided to start with learning about proper nutrition and changing her mindset to use food as fuel. Over the following six months, she bounced back and completed her university career racking up national credentials including Academic All-Canadian, Canadian Collegiate Athlete of the Month and a National Silver Medal. Ann is driven to help others discover how nutrition can be a powerful tool to fuel their bodies and their lives.
In 2014, after a five year career in marketing, Ann decided to make health and fitness a career and a way of life. She completed her personal training certifications and began working as a Professional Training Coach at Innovative Fitness Victoria in 2017.

Heather Davey
Nutrition CoachOriginally from Nelson, BC, Heather’s journey into nutrition and fitness began through her own struggles with body image and competing in a fitness competition in 2017. That experience sparked a deeper commitment to understanding the science of fuelling the body and helping others escape the cycle of diet culture.
Heather now works with clients who want to heal their relationship with food, build strength, and improve body composition in a sustainable way. She is passionate about helping people move from confusion to confidence by building knowledge, structure, and realistic routines.
Her coaching challenges all-or-nothing thinking and crash dieting mentalities. She believes true balance means making your health a non-negotiable, often by learning that eating more and fuelling properly is the key to lasting progress.
Certified in both nutrition and personal training (2025), Heather integrates strength training with evidence-informed nutrition to support long-term results. She is currently expanding her education in endurance athlete fuelling.
Outside of coaching, she enjoys lifting heavy weights, hiking, biking, hot yoga, and unapologetically enjoying a good doughnut. She believes strength and nourishment should coexist — in the gym and at the table.
Heather is proud to be part of the team at Fettle + Food, contributing her lived experience, professional expertise, and holistic approach to the shared philosophy of balance and evidence-informed nutrition.

Elissa Carroll
Nutrition CoachElissa had lived all over BC and southern Alberta before settling down in her hometown of Sparwood BC. In 2010, after struggling with weight and body image for all her teens and early 20s, she decided to make a change. Unfortunately, with the mass amounts of misinformation out there she found herself on the other end of the spectrum, severely undereating and over-exercising. She knew there had to be a middle ground.
She started diving into nutrition for health and performance. During this time, she fell in love with the human body and how much it was capable of. Knowing how hard it is to navigate exercise and nutrition alone she became a Certified Personal Trainer through NASM in 2018. After a few years of training clients, she realized how many others have the same struggle she did with their nutrition, so she became a Certified Nutrition Coach through the Nutrition Coaching Institute.
Elissa loves spending time with her family and friends, especially outdoors. Helping others and seeing them succeed is one of the things that she enjoys most. She aims to support clients with compassion, understanding, knowledge and accountability to help them reach and maintain their goals.
