Oh Hello!
I’m Elisabeth.
And I’m delighted that we’ve found each other.
I’ve always been drawn to the helpers. My career path has always been about supporting the people who are too busy supporting everyone else. The dedicated leaders, the tireless non-profit founders, the compassionate healthcare workers—you are my people. You’re the ones who show up every day to make a difference, even when it feels like a heavy lift.
I believe that even the strongest among us needs a safe place to land. My approach is rooted in the idea that you can be brilliant and successful while also being human and vulnerable. I’ll challenge you to think differently while always offering a gentle space to process.
If you’re a professional looking to find balance, a leader trying to prevent burnout, or an organization wanting to invest in your team, I'm here to help. Consider me your personal pit crew—I'll help you refuel, tune up, and get back on the road with more clarity and confidence.

Life Experience
It’s amazing how life can throw a curve-ball at us. After over 20 years working in healthcare, leadership at a meg-church, and for non-profits globally, I found myself crushed. I had the honor of being a witness to some absolutely incredible things, but after working among broken systems and people, I was overwhelmed. I had been spiritually abused, put in unsafe situations, seen things beyond my comprehension, and was left jaded and burnt out. Bruised from experiences that I felt I couldn’t talk openly about, I began to notice that everyone I worked alongside felt the same way at times. Defeated.
A desperate, stubborn part of me decided to quit all of it and go to university to become a therapist. I wanted to be the support people in these positions (and I ) so desperately needed. I wanted to bring the experience I had walked through to the therapy space, my coaching, and my educating.
When we are in unique positions, we need a unique person who can walk alongside us with depth of understanding. I am glad you are here.
