Helping Women Transcend Trauma to Embrace Spirituality

Life coaching is a purposeful and transformative conversation between two individuals one seeking clarity, healing, or direction, and one trained to guide, witness, and illuminate the path ahead. Through grounded dialogue, reflective practices, and compassionate inquiry, the coach helps the client connect more deeply to their inner truth, identify patterns, release limitations, and move toward aligned action. It is a collaborative partnership centered on empowerment, self-awareness, and long-term growth.

🌙 An Invitation from My Soul to Yours

Every word I write, every offering I create, is born from a deep place of healing — a reminder that you are not alone on your journey.
By reading, sharing, or purchasing my work, you’re not just supporting an author… you’re helping to sustain a movement of women (and all souls) reclaiming their light after darkness.

Are you ready to rise from your pain and reclaim the sacred, spiritual woman within?

Sometimes you need someone to help deal with the ugly that life puts in your life. Someone unbiased who understands the ugly and to work through it. Elise was my person. Her honesty and her accountability checks helped me navigate the tough stuff until I was ready to release it. For that I will be forever grateful for her. Thank you Elise for being my life coach and guiding and providing the tools to overcome life and finding my joy again!

“Elise is a powerful and remarkable healer.
I had been yearning for a shamanic journey and met her at a spiritual retreat where she taught and offered Reiki and crystal healing to all of us. I was able to have a private session and journey under Elise’s guidance. She is a gifted shaman with both natural and developed intuition. My journey held truth, insights and information for me. She holds harmony with nature and source, and she facilitated meaningful connections to my higher self and ancestral souls. She is both strong and gentle which suits my sensitive nature. I have much gratitude to have Elise in my life to guide me with my expansion and life path.” -Hanna

Elise is truly amazing. I have had the pleasure of attending multiple online workshops, received many readings, and also purchased her books. Every reading has been super accurate. Her printable self help work books are the greatest and I use them regularly to help guide me thru this thing we call life. I suggest everyone book a session with her to gain insight and clarity.
— Penny
Elise’s classes have been so helpful, and she is beyond supportive. One thing is that she has a wealth of knowledge and is always there to talk if you have something going on. I have had her do a birth chart reading that was super helpful and explained a lot. The classes do make you cry, but they also liberate you from the pain that has been carried for years. I can now talk about them without being triggered or breaking down into tears. She has been by far the biggest asset in my healing process. The workbooks are packed full of information without being overwhelming, and are easy to follow.
