Welcome, I'm Elizabeth

I'm glad you landed here.

I truly love what I get to do each day, work with others in a meaningful way and learn together as we navigate the human experience. 

 

My intention is to be myself in our work together so that you feel it’s safe for you to do the same. I believe the best gift we can bring into this world is to be ourselves, to truly walk in our own light. 

 

I have my own daily practices that allow me to listen to my body, soften my mind and connect to Source energy for my spiritual path. I value working in the physical and spiritual realms through somatic and intuitive practices that include our mental and emotional processes. 

 

I embrace living in the unknown and listening within for guidance to make choices in my daily life. I love to travel solo & with others, being in nature, exploring creativity, moving my body and delicious snacks.

MY STORY

I'm here now because I've been there too.

I’ve been on the other side of the couch with not a clue as to what I was going to do or how I was going to change but I knew I needed help.

 

From a young age I felt as if something was wrong with me then life experiences-culture-society helped to reinforce that feeling. There was a sense of shame and guilt that felt embedded in my personality. I learned how to pretend like everything was okay and do what I was “supposed” to do to fit in.

THESE PAINFUL FEELINGS GREW OVER THE YEARS SO I LOOKED FOR COMFORT IN ANYTHING I COULD FIND. I  SOUGHT SECURITY AND VALIDATION FROM OUTSIDE SOURCES-- ANYTHING TO DISTRACT ME FROM MYSELF.

I had a constant internal battle and felt trapped inside my mind filled with negative thoughts about myself and the world around me. It became clear this wasn’t working for me and I needed to learn how to actually help myself.

 

Through therapy, yoga, nature and spiritual explorations I learned skills that helped me face life in a new way. I was able to gain self-awareness which allowed me to make different choices and decisions for myself. I developed relationship with myself and connection to my intuition for continued growth and change. 

That’s why this work feels so close to my heart. As I gained strength in myself I knew I wanted to help other people do the same.

I believe we’re all on this journey together.

DEEPENING THE FRIENDSHIP

PROFESSIONAL LIFE

My professional trainings and explorations:

 

I'm filled with gratitude that I alongside my practice I have the opportunity to work at The Trauma-Conscious Yoga Institute which trains professionals around the world in the The Trauma-Conscious Yoga Method℠. 

 

The Trauma-Conscious Yoga Method℠ is healing modality rooted in social justice and integrates somatic psychotherapy practices with trauma-informed yoga as a compassionate way to help guide clients through trauma. 

My dual training as a mental health professional and yoga professional (RYT-200, TCYM) has allowed me the space to integrate Eastern philosophies and Western science to widen my scope of practice. In addition, I've received my Yin Yoga certification with focus on trauma-informed yin classes. 

I'm a Usui Reiki Level II practitioner with a deep connection to energy work and understanding of the Chakra system. I'm also trained in EMDR and Emotional Freedom Technique as well as extensive training focused on working with shame and somatic therapies. 

I'm committed to social justice work to understand the impact and be part of the change in relation to oppression from white supremacy, patriarchy, homophobia, size and disability discrimination as well as to help save our Mother Earth from climate change. This includes my ongoing self-study, learning, understanding and raising consciousness around these issues.
