I was astounded at the results of my journey

Elizabeth is the real deal. I was astounded at the results of my journey. First, the session answered a deep question inside of me that I had never spoken aloud. The answer brought me great joy and hope. Second, the imagery in the journey was so intimately personal in my life and had significant meaning for me. This couldn’t have been a coincidence. When you combine the (journey) story with the images it was like

Helped bolster our productivity, teamwork, & work-life balance

Although our organization has contracted several expert guest speakers in the past, no one has tailored the program to our unique needs or offered such an intentional, thought-out message as exceptionally as Elizabeth. Several employees commented that Elizabeth was the best retreat guest speaker we have ever had. I was thoroughly impressed with her thoughtful efforts, approachable presentation style, and genuine fervor for helping teams transform. I would gladly invite her back to our organization

Coaching has been life changing!

Working with Elizabeth has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. From the moment I heard her speak to my networking group, I knew I had to have her as my life and business coach. As an entrepreneur, I definitely had a lone ranger mentality, and I was suffering from exhaustion! My tank was running on empty. I knew I would experience burnout quickly from all the commitments I had made. Coaching

Doubled my clients and increased efficiency & confidence

Since coaching with Elizabeth, I have doubled the number of clients in my coaching practice, developed business systems that increase my efficiency and effectiveness, increased my confidence and competence, attracted and seized greater opportunities to expand my business and enhanced my personal development. When I look back to where I was 2 years ago, I barely recognize myself. Even though I’m a coach, I struggled with applying the tools, techniques and practices that would make

The vision you saw in the journey has just come true

Elizabeth, I wanted to tell you that the vision you saw in the journey has just come true. I am at the beach with a circle of like minded women healers. I steped into the circle to receive the healing and claim my power, just like you saw me doing. We meditated on the beach last night with a ceremony. It was amazing! Keep doing this work.

Interactive, informative presentation

Elizabeth came to the ELC as a referral. We initially had her speak to 60 of our contracted childcare providers on business success and she did such a great job engaging the crowd; we invited her back to provide training to our employees! They loved her interactive, informative presentation on using the Myers-Briggs to enhance communication. We look forward to working with her again in the future.
