— about me —

I come to coaching from a 25-year career in family defense.

"Working with Eliza felt like a structured and warm hug. She very quickly cultivated a safe and open environment. The passage of time slowed for me, as if taking a deep stretch, and I knew I could look forward to giving my otherwise hyperactive brain a breather in our next session."

— Gillian, six-month program

"Working with Eliza gave me tools I didn't expect — I can now identify my feelings by how they manifest physically, and access real truths about myself that I couldn't reach before. I came searching for career clarity; I left with something more valuable: a path toward a more fulfilling existence. Eliza is perceptive — she knows exactly which insights will land most powerfully in the moment."

— Kevin
