End-of-Life Doula Clients

When my Mom expressed her wishes to have a home death when ‘her time comes,’ I was at a loss of where to begin. Thankfully we found Liz. She supported us in talking about this uncomfortable topic and encouraged Mom’s input with each decision made. Liz guided us through all the steps including paperwork to complete, doctors to speak with, community healthcare services to engage and probably most importantly how to plan for the tiny preparations to make that day as perfect for Mom as possible. Our family and Mom are confident in the process and plan Liz has helped us create and are so thankful for the peace it has brought us.

Elizabeth worked with my husband and me to fashion End of Life Plans to accompany our legal documents. This topic is emotional and difficult to talk about. However, Elizabeth brought a patient, compassionate and knowledgeable approach that, in a series of discussions, allowed us to create plans that captured our hopes and desires. We are very grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her to those in similar situations.

Elizabeth’s death doula and grief care offerings are deeply meaningful and radically supportive. She provides a grounded container for folks to move through the complexity of grief-based emotions in a safe and embodied way. I brought various loss experiences to our sessions to be witnessed, from pregnancy loss, to the death of loved ones. Elizabeth offered clear, kind, and attuned companionship through each of these losses. Working with her taught me that I can do hard things, and I get to do them with nourishing support.

Elizabeth provides a safe and supportive environment to deal with all forms of grief. I never felt any pressure to share. I felt relaxed and comfortable in the group and I learned some practical tools for dealing with ongoing grief.

Somatic Experiencing® Clients

I am totally convinced that your wonderful touch made the healing so much faster. I never dreamed I’d be able to lift my arm up on its own again, and I can! Thank you so much, Liz – it’s a miracle!

~ Molly B. (Vernon, B.C.)

My session with Liz was incredibly helpful. I walked in feeling powerless and disconnected. Liz gently guided me back to my own inner knowing and offered practical tools for when I end up in similar situations. I left the session with greater confidence in my capacity to handle overwhelming situations in the future. I now have an expanded tool box for regulation and self care! What a huge gift! I highly recommend her as a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner to help with dysregulation or stuck stress/trauma patterns.

Registered Massage Therapy Clients

Elizabeth’s gentle touch is truly a healing balm. I experienced a reflexology (foot) massage and was blown away by how light and gentle I felt afterwards. Her intentional care and gentleness (while still having exactly the right amount of pressure) was wonderful for helping me process some of my grief at my dad’s recent death. I highly recommend Elizabeth’s massage services.

Elizabeth’s calmness, kindness, and comfort with the dying process are contagious.
