Hi, I’m Liz

I’m a skilled listener.

And I offer professional coaching and education to people who devote themselves to caring for others.

I know what it feels like when the fog settles in.

For 15 years, I walked the long, winding path of supporting my mother-in-law’s early-onset Alzheimer's.

I’ve spent my adult life investing in education, relational health, spiritual authenticity, and helping people (including myself!) grow.

I’ve lived the reality of losing and then finding myself as a family caregiver.

As a Chaplain, Educator, & Director, I understand that you’re wrestling with the impossible balance of a demanding professional life while supporting others, plus a full life caring for yourself and family.

Vocation: Creating Sanctuary For Helpers

I’ve spent my career in spaces where life is most intense. My background combines the clinical, the spiritual, and the developmental.

Board Certified Chaplain

I’ve stood in hospital corridors and hospice rooms since 2010. I’ve learned how to listen to the best of people when they are facing their worst days. I provide the Sanctuary.

Professional Coach

I believe coaching is both a compass and an architecture. I help you find your path and build a structure for your life that will support the weight you carry. I help you draft your Blueprint

Spiritual Care Educator

I train leaders to navigate the complexities of illness and aging with compassion. I understand grieving, growing, and resilience, but more importantly, I know how to make it practical in your life.

Credentials

Why Work With Me

You are here because you are devoted to your family or your vocation, but you are tired of losing yourself in the process.

I understand the ‘hardest things.’ I’m not afraid of the grief, the anger, or the exhaustion that comes with long-term devotion to others. Whether you are navigating professional development, an immediate health crisis or the marathon of chronic illness, I am here to ensure that when the storm passes, there is still a recognizable “you” left to enjoy the view.

Beyond The Work

When I’m not coaching or teaching, you’ll find me on a bike ride in the sunshine, navigating the ‘wild ride’ of life with my husband Dan and our three young daughters, or finding quiet moments with nature restoring my spirit.

You Are In The Right Place

  • You are devoted to your work, but don’t want to lose yourself in the endless demands of caring.

  • You want this chapter of your life to include moments for yourself. Moments of calm, of peace, and space to breathe.

  • You want to be a compassionate leader for yourself, your people, your team, and your family.

Don’t Lose Track of Your Spirit!

Care for yourself while devoting yourself to others.

A life with a bit of joy is still possible while serving others.

I Understand

  • I was a caregiver for 15 years, both in my home and from afar. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done (and I’m not afraid of hard things).

  • I’ve worked with countless religious leaders, patients, families, older adults, senior living executives and healthcare leaders.

  • I teach leaders how to build connected, resilient and positive relationships. It takes a unique skill set and can be learned.

It Can Get Better

  • I’ve taught about spiritual resilience, self-compassion and a greater capacity for love amidst loss for over a decade

  • I’ve worked with hundreds of individuals towards growth in emotional intelligence and spiritual grounding

  • I’ve cared for caregivers in senior living, hospice and hospital settings.

I’d love to meet you, learn about your unique situation, and discern how I might be of service to you.

My Philosophy on Coaching, Chaplaincy & Education

What Is Coaching

Coaching is Architecture

Future-focused, action-oriented, pulling dreams into reality.

The ICF defines coaching as “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”

Coaching helps you tap into your innate wisdom to build a life that will support and shelter you through challenges and transitions.

What Is Chaplaincy

Chaplaincy is Sanctuary

Association of Professional Chaplains defines chaplaincy as “a professional role that provides spiritual, emotional, existential, and religious support to individuals and communities in a variety of settings.”

Spiritual care holds space to explore the deeper meaning and purpose in work and life. It supports people through the messy process of grief, anger, and fear towards a life of joy and gratitude.

I am a professional chaplain with the Association of Professional Chaplains.

As a chaplain, I welcome spirituality into the healthcare journey.

What Is Education

Education Is The Growth Blueprint

Education builds upon all the gifts and knowledge a person brings to the work of caring, and adds new growth, concepts, theories, best practices, and possibilities.

As an ACPE Educator, I practice the clinical method of learning, which requires action, reflection, and new action in an ongoing cycle of improvement.

Educators see the ever-present possibility of growth in each person. Liz is a Certified Educator with the Association of Clinical Pastoral Education.
