"I highly recommend working with Elise if you struggle with communicating not only with others, but also with yourself.”

“Working with Elise, I was able to let go of some of my fears around perfection or looking silly, and sink into what it meant to identify myself, my desires, and my goals. Elise helped shift me perspective from being a passive character in my own life, to a much more active one.

“Elise encouraged me to listen to myself ~ REALLY LISTEN TO MYSELF for the first time in my life

 ~ She helped me open up another door in my life's journey that allowed me to lean into my purpose with new fervour.”

Knowing that you have something special inside of you that needs to be brought out into the world requires a great deal of tenacity. Elise nurtures this tenacity through patience and compassion, even when you may not have enough of it for yourself. If more of us are attuned to our purpose in our work, we can innovate in ways that help heal our societal ills. If that all sounds rather lofty to you, you just need to work with Elise to experience it. Elise is a gentle maverick in the coaching industry!”

Frequently Asked Questions

YOU’VE GOT QUESTIONS, I’VE GOT ANSWERS

What is your qualification to do this coaching work?

I'm so glad you asked! I'm an ICF (International Coaching Federation) Certified Neuro Somatic Leadership Coach, I'm trained as a Transformational Life Coach, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, A Voice Body Connection Leader (candidate for certification), & Certified in Somatic Voice Work. I've also studied Non-Violent Communication, Somatic Conflict Resolution, PolyVagal Theory with Deb Dana AND have 20+ years experience as a Voice and Stage Performance Coach. 

How do I know if this coaching is right for me?

All of the buttons linked above are to book a discovery call to chat about whether this is a good fit for both of us. 

Private coaching is for growth-oriented women who are ready to evolve past the shrinking and staying silent that has kept them safe but is not longer serving their highest good. 

How is the coaching delivered? Do I have to come to you? 

Coaching and VIP Days are delivered online worldwide via ZOOM OR in person at my Halifax NS studio. Want to fly me to you for a 1:1 intensive in your home town*? Let's chat and work the details out!
* travel, and accommodation fees are in addition to coaching/consulting fees.  

Can you help me gain confidence to speak in public? I have a TED Talk in me, I think!

YES! And you're gonna ROCK that TED Talk! One of the nick names some of my clients gave me years ago was The Stage Fright Whisperer , so rest assured this work targets all of the concerns that keep us from feeling comfortable in front of crowds or on camera too! CHECK IT OUT HERE! 

Is this therapy?

This work is trauma aware somatic coaching and consulting. Although my clients find the work "therapeutic", it should not be used as a replacement for therapy, if that feels like what you need. I started studying Somatic Experiencing and nervous system science because my clients inevitably come to me with trauma. While I am well equipped and trained to support what comes up in sessions, it is recommended that if you have unprocessed trauma, or are in an abusive relationship this work is best done in tandem with a mental health therapist. 

Do you work with folks who don't identify as  women?

I'm so glad you asked this question. My coaching and consulting is approached from an intersectional point of view and I absolutely welcome non-binary folks into this work. I frame my work from the perspective and experience as a white cis gender woman with privilege AND I have also purposely created this work to celebrate diversity with intention, to create an affirming culture of bravery and belonging, where every client can be their fullest selves and speak their authentic truth.

This is where your nervous system heals so you can BE seen in your bold presence and speak your truth with unshakeable confidence. 

Ready to do this thing?! Book a chat now and let’s go!

If you’ve made it this far…

You're ready to speak your truth unaplogetically!
