About
Hi, I’m Elly.
I’m the author of The Gate Keeper: Setting Boundaries and Building Healthy Friendships. I’m also a health insurance advisor who enjoys helping individuals and small business owners navigate complicated insurance decisions.
After a long career in consulting and technology, I’ve learned that many of life’s biggest challenges come down to one thing: understanding where to draw the line. Our boundaries are the lines that defend our time, our energy, our relationships, and even our finances.
My work today focuses on helping people think clearly about those boundaries and make confident decisions that protect what matters most.
What I Do
Author
The Gate Keeper
I wrote The Gate Keeper to share a practical way of thinking about emotional boundaries. The book grew out of years of observing how people struggle to protect their time, energy, and well-being…and a strong desire to help my kids learn their own boundaries.

Health Insurance Agent/Advisor
Health insurance without the overwhelm
I work with people who are navigating change, whether that’s a business trying to take care of its team or an individual facing a shift in life or work. My role is simple: to help you understand your options and choose coverage that actually fits how you live and how your business grows.
Speaker
Where clearer thinking meets real life
I speak about boundaries in a way that’s practical and grounded in real life, not theory. It’s about helping people see where they’re overextended and make clearer, more intentional decisions.
Book
The Gate Keeper
Setting boundaries and building healthy friendships
Many people struggle with boundaries.
They say yes when they want to say no, take on responsibilities that don’t belong to them, and feel overwhelmed by the expectations and demands of others. But what if we could have learned how to manage our boundaries earlier, long before the adult-sized problems grew so big?
The Gate Keeper introduces a simple and memorable way to think about personal boundaries. Imagine yourself as the confident gate keeper of your own life!
The book offers practical insights, examples, and exercises that help readers recognize their boundaries and how to strengthen them in healthy, respectful ways.
The Gate Keeper is primarily targeted at young women, but women and men of all ages have found value in my words.
