Hi, I’m ElizaBeth
I’m a somatic coach with twenty years of experience helping people who live and lead with heart make shifts that finally stick.
For years I understood my patterns, could talk about them fluently, and still couldn’t change them. I’d done therapy, courses, trainings, and I achieved a lot of success personally and professionally. Something was still missing.
I first heard the word “somatics” in 2013, but I didn’t really understand what it was. When I finally decided to try somatics, I experienced more presence, joy, clarity and energy, and the changes I made stuck. I became a fuller version of me, and that rippled out into my business leadership and my relationships.
Today I help people close that same gap: between what they know and what they’re living.

The 5 Day Somatic Reset
Somatics is a bottom-up approach to change. Instead of working only with the head, mindset, insight, intellect, it includes the whole body: sensation, mood, emotion, image, movement, posture.
Here’s why that matters. You can know exactly what you want to ask for, and soften it in the moment. You can understand perfectly well that you should set a boundary, and still hear yourself say yes. Insight lives in one place. Behavior under pressure lives somewhere else: in a nervous system that learned, a long time ago, what was safe.
Somatic coaching works on that second place. We slow down enough for your body to be part of the conversation, and we build capacity to show up differently, so that you can live and lead with more heart.
Go deeper: how can somatic coaching help me? →
Coaching is not therapy or medical care, and it isn't a replacement for either. If you're in acute crisis, or looking for clinical treatment, a licensed therapist or physician is the right place to start.
Working with ElizaBeth has been such a gift. I've been able to do deeper somatic work with her than I ever could because of the trust, safety, and ease she creates.

Sarah — Doctor of AcupunctureI've probably disappointed some people this past month by saying "no." But it's also meant that when I have said "yes," it's a whole-body yes.

Some of it just has to get done: showing up for your family, for your team, for what's actually yours to carry. But some of what's taking so much out of you isn't showing up for the work, it's the years of overthinking, over-giving and over-functioning.
