Elizabeth Santiago launched Ignite Your Inner Glow (IYIG), a health coaching and mentorship program for people who suffer from problematic skin. IYIG is a revolutionary and evolutionary program that came out of a need for people looking for a holistic and safe way to heal chronic skin ailments by treating the root cause-how you feed, fuel, and free your body from dangerous toxins.
This tenacious woman is motivated by seeing people’s transformation and changing the world. When sickness prevented Elizabeth from becoming a physician, she found a way to continue practicing medicine in a non-uniformed way: soap making. This foundation blessed her to create other skin care treatments to help your body from the outside in.
Elizabeth’s unique company name, Celebritay, came to her by divine intervention. She felt the urge to write her children’s names down. With the combination of all three names, Celebritay was formed. Like the creator, the name and company are powerful and intentional.
