Meet Elizabeth
Hey there… I’m delighted you’re here…
I’m Elizabeth Barbour, M.Ed, Life & Business Coach, Shamanic Practitioner, Speaker, Retreat Leader, Author & Mom.
I see what’s possible for you when you can’t see it for yourself. I see your strengths, your beauty, your gifts, your talents and all that you can possibly be… and I help you step more fully into the truest version of you.
As a life and business coach, I help entrepreneurial and professional women find work/life balance–and sanity–in the chaos of daily living. It’s not unusual for clients to cry in their first sessions with me because they are just so relieved to find support.
As a shamanic practitioner, I utilize the power of shamanic journey work to access messages and information from the spiritual realms (sometimes referred to as non-ordinary reality) to help my clients cut through the stuck places and gain clarity fast. I’m passionate about helping my clients to design rituals and celebrations when big transitions are afoot (life and death, weddings and divorces, moves, etc.)
As an author, I hope to inspire readers to live their lives with magic and meaning. My award-winning Sacred Celebrations: Designing Rituals to Navigate Life’s Milestone Transitions was published in 2023 and my Kindle book Smart Self-Care: 20 Lessons to Find the “Me” Time You Keep Putting Off was released in 2020 during the pandemic (which turned out to be very helpful timing for so many!)
When teaching and speaking, I’m multi-passionate. I’m equally comfortable facilitating a teambuilding session in an corporate environment, inspiring a room full of entrepreneurs to become authentic networkers, preaching the value of self-care to a room full of overworked realtors or leading an intimate women’s retreat through a fire ceremony ritual to release their stress and to reclaim their balance.
As seen in…
My favorite activities are travel, reading, hiking and learning about all things spiritual.
- I have a *ton* of friends and many of them call me E. (except for the really old ones who call me Lee which was my nickname growing up)
- I’m an adult adoptee living in reunion with my birth family. Since 1999, I’ve known my birth mom, my birth dad and my eleven (!!!) brothers and sisters. And, in 2011, Eric and I adopted our daughter Riley. She is the love of our lives.
- I *really* love to throw a good party. I celebrate everything. Need to woo-hoo for something big or small? I’m your gal.
- By nature, I’m a connector and catalyst for community – always matchmaking both for professional collaborations and personal friendships… and I may have helped a friend or two find their love match over the years!
In business since 2000, I worked as a university administrator for a decade before that. I’ve got a double degree from The College of William and Mary (psychology and biology – who knew, eh?), a master’s degree in counseling from the University of Delaware and a certification from CoachU back in the days when you told people you were a coach and they asked “Which sport?”
I have the best job in the world and when you’re ready for support, please do get in touch.
Don’t wait any longer. Give yourself permission to say yes to the best, truest version of YOU!
Squeeee! My award-winning book!
