What Does “Elk Health' mean?
Selecting a business name is difficult. I wanted something that encompassed the Elk Health philosophy. Something that was inclusive, compassionate, holistic and unique.
My daughters name has the word Elk in it and if anyone knows her, you know she is the most fiercely independent, determined, confident and capable person. These are the exact qualities that I want my clients to feel after they experience intervention with Elk Health. And hence… the name was born!
