Working with Elizabeth has been such a joy! In just a few sessions, I can feel myself learning a new way of relating to myself and life - one that creates space for love, joy, playfulness and flow. It is hard to describe what exactly she does because she is so seamless in her coaching style but she has shown me there is a path back to myself. I appreciate her way of bringing it back to the body and I sense a new connection to my body emerging. So grateful to have met her at this point in my journey.”

I've met with Elizabeth 5 times, and the change I've seen in my life is dramatic. She gave me tools to help me orient when I feel overwhelmed, plus helped me develop a stronger intuitive sense which I've used in stress management and even my creativity. Elizabeth is an amazing listener, she is very patient and understanding, and she has great insights. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to be heard and actually work on healing their trauma, mental health, or emotional wounds.

Working with Elizabeth is nothing short of transformational. With integrity and a balanced blend of strength and loving compassion, Elizabeth brings authenticity and power to her healing sessions. I chose to work in a series with her because the power of our first session was so real. After, I felt the stress leave my body and in its place a fresh perspective on the present day. Working in a series enables her to understand my patterns and challenges so that each session serves as an opportunity for deeper and more profound healing to occur.
Elizabeth holds a unique strength and wisdom, creating the conditions for an appropriate level of healing and progress to occur within each session. I have had the opportunity to work with many healers along my path and few match the strength in presence and integrity that Elizabeth holds. She is a clear, clean, supportive presence, free of ego and preconceived outcomes. If you are looking for a transformational experience, where real results will manifest through work with a loving and effective healer, then you need look no further than Elizabeth Stauder.

The session was more than helpful... Your allowance of my expression of shadow aspects and painful memories was incredibly helpful. I've never felt a more sacred container for such energy to be released. That pain had been buried for years. Especially when you were holding my head; I never have felt safer. I don't know how I would have improved the process. It was simple and concise, yet with amazing depth and power being unveiled. I would absolutely return for further support and plan to recommend you to any friend in need of such a healing.

For the past year and a half, I have been going through a health crisis. I began seeing Elizabeth about 7 months ago and my entire outlook on my condition has shifted. Not only has she helped in terms of my physical and emotional health, she has helped me connect to my true purpose and ground myself in the wisdom of my elders and ancestors, in a way that stands out from other therapy I received. Elizabeth is an amazing healer and a wonderful person, she is one of my main cheerleaders and helps me see the rich colors of life.

Regardless of the obstacles or challenges I'm facing, I always appreciate Elizabeth's grounded presence and exceptional questions. She is skilled at getting to the heart of my anxieties and helping me find the inner resources to keep going and keep growing. I'd highly recommend her.

Every interaction I've had with Elizabeth has catalyzed an evolution and expansion of my understanding of myself and the world. Her earnest commitment to the Greatest Good shows through her deep integrity and humility in her work, and creates an unbreakable sense of trust between patient and practitioner that is essential to healing. I have had encounters and formed relationships with quite a range of energetically sensitive people and I can wholeheartedly say that I find Elizabeth to be in the top tier in terms of her clarity, sense of purpose, and ability to create and hold a safe space. I trust her, and in doing so, I am able to trust myself more fully in the work we do together.

Before working with Elizabeth, I noticed repeating patterns in my life that were limiting my ability to break through relational roadblocks. Roadblocks that were keeping me from experiencing the depth of intimacy that i truly want to experience. After finally having enough of the old patterns playing out, I took the step of booking an appointment with Elizabeth, feeling that her knowledge of trauma work might be a match with whatever was playing out in my life. During the session I felt fully seen, heard, and held in her presence. Elizabeth showed a tremendous ability to make me feel totally safe and accepted, no matter what came up in the session.
A few of the benefits I gained from my session with Elizabeth were:
1) The benefit of unconditional witnessing. Having another simply witness me in my vulnerability was profoundly healing. A deep vulnerability that was available through her unique gift to cultivate such an experience.
2) The benefit of compassionate understanding. Having another being so deeply in touch with the human condition that is able to understand my unique journey, emotions, feelings, traumas and triggers was potent medicine and let me know everything was going to be okay.
3) The benefit of compassionate questioning. Having another being able to see the roadblocks that i was unable to see, and compassionately questioning what is seen until the discovery was "self made" allowed me to take full ownership of the healing process since it derived from within, rather than through the words of someone outside of myself.
I highly recommend booking your own session with Elizabeth today. After working with 20+ professionals over the past 10 years, I can honestly say that Elizabeth is the most gifted trauma healer I've ever come across. I'll be sending all of my friends, family, and clients to Elizabeth knowing she'll take good care of them, and will make a significant impact in improving their lives.

Elizabeth is an astute listener and is quick to smile and laugh, which makes time with her feel meaningful and enjoyable. She is quick to share insights and ideas and I appreciate the mix of thoughtful reflection and practical action planning that she helps provide.

I find Elizabeth so easy to talk to and connect with, which means a lot to me. She is well-attuned and receptive. She not only listens and allows me to express myself freely, but also helps direct the conversation. I love her active approach, because long silences in therapy have not always felt fruitful and supportive to me in the past. I also enjoy Elizabeth's confident feedback and advice. Every week I walk away with at least one significant resource that fuels me throughout the week. What I love about Organic Intelligence Coaching with Elizabeth overall is that the focus is on cultivating a sense of wholeness without getting too overwhelmed by or fixated on the 'problems'. There is room for everything.

I came to Elizabeth with some fears regarding a new baby/work & life balance. She held a caring yet joyful space and encouraged new ideas and optimism into the conversation. I left feeling hopeful and refreshed, ready to move forward with ease. Many thanks!

I appreciated the way you were so present with me and aided me in being more present with myself. While navigating intense physical sensations that are connected to emotional upheaval, you helped me to stay grounded in my truth throughout. This was helpful because sometimes I just get lost in the pain. The intention and care you set out with the altar pieces you selected for me felt deeply personal and special...I was so serene and blissed out after our session, I had to really focus through the dreaminess to recall the work we did. I really appreciated being smudged and held with as much care and attention as if we were working together in person. It felt truly intimate and nourishing to receive such detailed care.

I remember feeling held by you in the healing container you so intentionally and lovingly created with and for me. I thought that was neat even though it was a session over Skype. What I found most helpful in our session was the grounding exercise you shared with me. Not only could I picture the roots sprouting from my core, entering the earth's surface, and wrapping around the earth's center, I also felt it as it was happening. I felt immediate and long-lasting effects, and I enjoyed it so much, that I continue to practice this technique on a regular basis. I've even incorporated into my personal meditation practice. Thank you! I would absolutely seek out your guidance and support again, and I would definitely recommend you to a friend. I was profoundly impacted by your gifts and counsel, and it would be neat to deepen that experience. Keep doing what you are doing! There is so much light you have to offer. Your insight is precious and much needed.

Elizabeth has a gentle grounded and intelligent approach to holding space. She’s so tuned in.

I found Elizabeth through a friend who suggested I looked into Somatic Thearpy. As a 40year old after decades of traditional talk therapy I knew I needed something different. I could talk the talk but nothing was changing. The cycles I was going through seemed to edge on and I was left white knuckling life again over and over. Enter Elizabeth. I wanted to find a space where I could nurture vulnerability and growth. I needed a place that I could speak truthfully but also have someone help me stop and connect with my body and not just talk through it. Elizabeth was so wonderful at slowing me down to be present in the moment and to truly accept myself for where I am in that time. I always joke with her that we seem to be connecting on weeks where I couldn’t imagine processing these feelings, emotions or events. I’m so thankful I have found her.

Elizabeth is a guide. A compass that allows beings to navigate their inner layers. She does it without conscious effort. And that is quite a gift. The difference between now and three months ago is that the pain has a purpose. It also acts as a compass. I have thought about her often and I feel that she has opened a portal for me somehow. A portal of understanding. I could say to her, "Keep doing what you're doing," but I think the best thing to say is, "Just keep being. You being is enough to flick a switch in someone's consciousness."
~Cat Bernardes, Writer, Traveler
I truly feel so blessed to know you and to work with you. You've been an incredible guide and facilitator who has helped me create a version of myself that I didn't even know could exist.
