Blessed to share a little bit about how it all began to where I am now. Since the beginning of time (haha) I have been in the hospitality field. From the front of the house to the back of the house, the front desk of a daycare to assisting in rooms, and prepping food for the kiddos. Experiencing the insides of a NICU floor preparing and assisting with lactation services to being Back in the restaurant helping with catering gigs, serving, bartending, and prepping food. For the longest time, I would ask myself “Why am I doing this, why am I here, what’s the point?” Truth be told it was all part of the process. I just had to trust. If I hadn’t taken all the jobs at places I may not have wanted to, I wouldn’t be here. I wouldn’t have been nudged over to the West and still in the Midwest. I wouldn’t have had light at the end of the tunnel. I questioned my purpose, I questioned if I should really take the role of the black sheep of the family who didn’t go to college, I questioned everything. I moved out to Arizona and it changed my life. I met outstanding humans right away who welcomed me with open arms. They saw something in me that I hadn’t discovered for myself yet. My purpose. The creation of EVOLVEbyLys first started in April 2022 at my first big gig! An opportunity to Chef my first ten-day retreat. Three meals a day. It may not seem like much but I proved to myself I could feed ten people three meals a day, clean, prep, and do it all again for ten days! Since then I have been trusting the journey with an open heart and open mind.
“I let the energy flow through the mind and heart then out of the hands”

"I've been looking for a local Phoenix meal delivery service for a few years and I finally found it with Evolve By Lys. I tried other pre-prepped meal services, and this one blows them out of the water. I enjoy the consistency in the weekly meals with soulfully sourced ingredients, they are so flavorful and filling. I 1000% love the way that Elyssa cares about the environment and works with me to reuse containers for a zero-waste food offering. So delicious and so conscious!"
-Tom Marthaler, Yogi & Busy Tech Professional
"I am so grateful that I was introduced to Elyssa to be our private chef for our Rise Wellness Retreat in Sedona! Wow, she met and exceeded all of my expectations. Being a wellness retreat, it is very important that our meals are not only made with love but all made with healthy ingredients to fuel our guest's bodies to be prepared for the workshops and activities we have planned! We always want our guests to be satiated throughout the weekend and leave with new ideas on ways they can eat healthier at home. Elyssa was on time, catered to all of our guest's allergies and preferences, took time to present/explain what she created for each meal, and always cleaned up right after the meals! Her energy was such a blessing. You could feel her calm presence which is so important at retreats where we focus on cultivating peaceful spaces for people to rest, relax and rejuvenate and so much of the experience is centered around the meals! We would absolutely recommend Elyssa for your upcoming events, retreats, and meal prep needs. We will certainly be having her back with us again in the near future!"
"Lys is now our resident Chef"
-Lauren D with Rise Wellness Retreats
EVOLVEbyLys catering services have exceeded my expectations. Elyssa provided a custom menu for our two-day community event in the winter, which had over 70 guests. Elyssa did a phenomenal job in every aspect, from her prompt arrival to the delicious food she prepared and served.
Not only were the dishes beautifully presented, but they also tasted absolutely amazing. I highly recommend EVOLVEbyLys if you are looking for a friendly, professional, and attentive catering service. Elyssa was communicative and took good care of our guests. She went above and beyond to accommodate any special requests or dietary restrictions- there was something for everyone.
Elyssa's commitment to quality food options and outstanding service continues to make a lasting impression at our Phoenix-area gatherings. I couldn't imagine working with any other catering company. EVOLVEbyLys is without a doubt the best in town!
-Melovee, Director at A Consciousness Rising
It has been a pleasure working with her for three events so far! She has high energy and passion, she loves to build a menu that fits well for her clients. Always professional and ready to work her magic! Honestly, the food is AMAZING! You take one bite, and you want more! Her passion and love for food is exquisite.
-PartyWithLiz, Event Planner
Here we have the gentlest giant you'll ever meet. The amount of respect, love, and gratitude I have for Roy is almost indescribable in words. Roy has been cooking for 41 years, teaching for 20, and a recent graduate of IGNITEwellnesscollective’s RYT 200-hour training. His devotion to love and self-love does not go unnoticed. His commitment to the fact that food is medicine is impeccable. One thing I always ask him is “How did we get so blessed to be surrounded by all of this love” his response is usually along the line of “We deserve it, we work hard, and because our hearts are open to it”
Let me introduce three of the best entrepreneurs you'll ever meet! Steph & Emilie both own their own businesses IGNITEwellnesscollective & Enamoured_Souls_Collective and the three of us together have created such a beautiful trifecta of offerings. Always supporting each other and pushing each other to reach higher potentials.
These two have been a huge impact in the last two years of my life. I could be a bit bias- No shame but on a realistic level I wouldn't of been able to do it without them and their support.
When I moved to AZ in 2021 I took my first yoga class facilitated by Taylor Wray. This introduction into the yoga world was only the beginning. Taylor is an amazing teacher and a close friend of mine! In June of 2021, I was blessed with experiencing a class facilitated by IGNITEwithsteph. She slayed the night with her signature modality IGNITE the night - a hybrid yoga class, HIIT, primal embodiment, twerkasana, and dance fitness. From there, I continued to go to Taylor and Steph's Dynamic Vinyasa classes. Steph has been a huge influence in my yoga journey ever since. She teaches from a very knowledgeable background, with the understanding of the human body on an anatomical level and an energetic level. Her passion and reverence for the practice inspired me to take her 200-hour I-YTT program in 2022. Since December of 2022, I have been teaching the beautiful practice of Vinyasa at a new studio: Studio Scottsdale Fitness.
