Meet Elizabeth

  • Comfortable with pets

I am a 55-year-old, recent empty nester. I have nurtured three thriving human beings into adulthood. I have a Masters of Science in Restorative Practices and am a teacher of Non-Violent Communication. I work with individuals, couples, and groups teaching conscious, effective, and compassionate communication. So why am I offering myself up to spend time with your child/children? Because I enjoy being in children’s lives. They are magic in the making. I enjoy using my presence and care to confirm with them that they matter, they are powerful, they are needed. Also, I want to support you. You are amazing. Being a parent is hard. The nuclear family often leads to isolation and overwhelm (in my experience). Did you know that a key contributing factor to child resilience is having a non-parental adult in their lives (in addition to their parents)? I’d love to be one of those people in Read more childrens lives. In addition to raising three children and studying the science of how to build relationships, collaboration and connection, I was also the program manager for a mentor program at Gateway Mountain Center in Truckee California. The Whole Hearts, Minds and Bodies program works with high need and hisk youth. Through supported authentic relationships, outdoor peak experiences and community engagement, it helps youth develop self-efficacy, resilience and grit. Here is a bio piece from my consulting resume: I imagine a place where we are engaged at our highest capacity, having our gifts received & appreciated by others. In this place, all receive the care they need to live with truth, authenticity, love & courage. Every voice has an eager audience. Love & compassion are given & received in every connection. In this place we are safe. It is my calling to work with others to create these sacred places.
