Welcome, I'm Elizabeth
I'm grateful my life path took me here.
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.
This space is created with love to foster connection, curiosity, compassion, and evolution.
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.
Due to life experiences coupled with society and culture, I experienced many years of shame that felt embedded in my personality and deep grief that felt never-ending. So I learned how to pretend like everything was okay and do what I was “supposed” to do to fit in until I couldn't do that any longer.
THESE PAINFUL FEELINGS GREW OVER THE YEARS SO I SOUGHT SECURITY AND VALIDATION FROM OUTSIDE SOURCES—ANYTHING TO DISTRACT ME FROM MYSELF.
Eventually the suffering felt too much. Through therapy, yoga, nature, writing, and spiritual explorations I gained self-awareness. These practices allowed me to change my thought patterns, which in turn, opened me to new perspectives. I developed a relationship with myself, creating the way forward to feel my emotions, connect to my intuition, and soften toward all parts of me for continued growth and change.​
​That’s why this work feels so close to my heart. I'm deeply grateful to connect with others on their path as an act of love in this world.
​
I believe we’re all on this journey together.
,,
We're all just walking each other home."

PROFESSIONAL LIFE
My professional trainings and explorations:
I'm filled with gratitude that 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 Methodâ„ .
The Trauma-Conscious Yoga Methodâ„ is a 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.
​
I focus on working from a positive psychology and resilience-based framework using EMDR, Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping), as well as extensive training focused on somatic therapies, neuroscience and attachment trauma with a specialty on healing from shame. ​
​
In addition, I'm a Usui Reiki Level II practitioner with a deep connection to energy work and understanding of the Chakra system, as well as Yin Yoga certified with a focus on trauma-informed yin classes.
​
​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. I'm passionate about Reproductive Rights with specialized training in post-abortion care and support.
This includes my ongoing learning, self-reflection, understanding, and raising consciousness around these issues.​
