Our story

Jess Ringgenberg, founder and CEO of ELIXR, left a thriving corporate career in rare-disease and biotech to work toward closing systematic gaps in the workplace for women and mothers. As a mom and a woman leader in a Fortune 500, she witnessed first-hand the existing gap for all women and working mothers, and she couldn’t look away. She believes women are meant to thrive at every intersection.

Jess became a matrescence expert, a certified and accredited coach through the International Coaching Federation, and an advocate – all used to provide businesses with focused programs that empower women and moms at work. These programs are designed to ignite change by providing education and support leading to retention, re-engagement, and re-discovery.

ELIXR aims to unlock fulfillment, personal growth, and professional development. Bridging neuroscience, positive psychology and the research of matrescence. We strive for a future where the whole person is not just understood but embraced. Our commitment extends beyond filling gaps to transforming corporate cultures into empowering spaces where all women and mothers can work, thrive, and lead.

ELIXR was created to lift up women and moms at work.

Behind the brand

Our Name

ELIXR’s name was inspired by the magic that can happen when women and mothers remember to discover themselves at every stage of life. 

Putting their “I” into focus and what they need from work, family, community and self, ELIXR exists as a foundation to manifest magic for women and working moms, starting in the workplace. 

Our Logo

Our mark is a symbol of strength and symmetry. 

Strength in the integrity drawn from the “X” in our name and rounded for the heart that comes with motherhood. 

Symmetry across four petals representing work, family, community, and self that serve as a visual reminder of harmonic co-existence.
