About

Welcome Beauty, I’m Eliza. I write. I paint. I knit. I meditate and play around with yoga. I drink green juice and have big issues with the fact we have never had a female president. I’m seriously passionate and fascinated with the birth process although I haven’t had a babe of my own yet. I am fascinated with Frida Kahlo and always wished I had met John Lennon. I light candles when I am grouchy and hope for a miracle of loving positivity to shine through (it always does). I’m always bare foot when I’m at home. I don’t believe in diets or quick fixes. I am shy around people who don’t know me, but fiercely loyal to my inner circle. I love hard and I practice gratitude like its my job. I’m also a coach and teacher dedicated to teaching women self love and building courage when under fire.

I guess you could say I’m on a mission to share with you what I’ve learned about self love (aka self acceptance) over the years. I’m tired of seeing beautiful, smart, amazing women (like YOU) only see the worst in themselves and I want to hold the mirror up for you so you can see just how amazing you actually are. It’s hard work loving ourselves but with practice it can become second nature. Don’t roll your eyes, it is true I believe being a woman is so much cooler than being a dude, we have the ability to create life, our bodies are miracles and we are strong, resilient, radiant, fabulous beings but we don’t give ourselves any credit most of the time.

My wish for you is simple. I want to give you the tools, the courage, the strength and tenacity to love yourself in a way that makes you feel proud, inspired and blessed to be You. I want you to know in the deep, deep pockets of your soul that you deserve to love who you are and have peace in your life – with your career, with your relationships, with your health, and especially within yourself. I wish for you to connect (or re-connect) to who you are and what lights you up and I want you to feel confident shining your Light in the world. I want you to accept your desires for what they are and hold on to them like they are beautiful jewels of wisdom the Universe has given you as a gift simply for breathing.

So, here is your permission slip to stop feeling guilty and start taking loving care of yourself. If you are here, chances are that you beat yourself up, your critical or you put everyone else first. Stop it. I’m here nurturing and loving you now. You can take a big deep breath in now. Go ahead, I’ll wait. Breathe in for 5 seconds. Hold it. Now, breathe out for five seconds. Better? Did you notice you were holding your breath as you were reading this? Totally normal, please remember to BREATHE!

I love and adore you and I don’t even know you (yet). But I’m here to support you, love you, cheer you on and kick your butt until you get it that you are freaking amazing, that you deserve IT ALL. And I seriously mean ALL of it…

I’ve had many lessons that I believe brought me to who I am today and what I teach my clients. Something we do that is so clever is we line ourselves up with ‘teachers’. I believe we all have lessons to learn and we have people come into our lives to help us learn and grow. These usually suck, but they are meant to bring us closer to who we are meant to be.

Here’s a great example, I aligned myself in 1st grade with an incredible ‘teacher’. She reiterated to my little, adorable, quirky 6 year old self that she was better than me in every way. Right from the beginning she sold me of my unworthiness. Little by little my confidence sank. I believed everything she said, went along with every mean judgement she had, and believed in my young heart I literally was not good enough. It hurt so bad. She had had enough fun torturing my by the time I was 11. She dumped my ass with a nasty Dear John letter and I cried the ugly cry all the way home from school.

And that was the beginning of the end, at the tender age of 12 my heart closed up and I finally felt I had ‘proof’ that I really was worthless, that I really should be ashamed of myself, that I really never would be pretty or special or ‘enough’ – otherwise I would have been friends with whats-her-name still – at least, that’s what my mind told me.

My point here is that we have things to learn from and look back on and say, wow, that was a big learning lesson and that stung, but I was amaze balls and I got up and triumphed anyway. That’s what happened when turned 25. I started getting my act together. I’d learned to make the bad choices for so long I didn’t know what it felt like anymore to make a good one. I did an awesome job of creating toxic relationships and forcing and controlling the things in my life that ended up ironicly controlling me.

But when I turned 25, it was like a switch went off. I finally had miracles come into my life one by one. Something shifted inside of me. I couldn’t control it anymore, it had me doing things I didn’t yet understand but I was on the path to where I am today. My very first teacher appeared in the form of a book that helped me see something in myself I didn’t think was possible for anyone except those happy models in magazines, I mean, those girls love themselves, right? I thought, ‘look how gorgeous they are, they can’t have problems like me’… That cracks me up now because those girls are probably just as miserable as their eyes appear in their photoshopped editorials (but that’s a conversation for another time).

Check out my first teacher, you will love it. You Can Heal Your Life by: Louise Hay. She will rock your world…

There is something happening on the planet where people are waking up to who they are, what they want, and ultimately the gift they want to leave behind on this planet when they leave. Because if you are here now, that means you were born. If you were born that means you have a purpose. That’s so cool. I want you to know that this is a space you can come back to where I am committed to creating a loving community of women who get you, who inspire you and who will help lift you up in times of limitation, lack, fear and freak outs. We all experience all of those, and it is ok. You just remember to pick yourself up and keep going because we need you here. I adore you already. I want you to Shine, to Thrive and to have peace in your heart so that you can smile every time you see your reflection in a shop window. You. Are. Enough. (and I love you).
