I’m Elizabeth.
— and I’m here to help you slow down, reconnect, and return to the steady, grounded version of yourself that’s always been there.
Through mindful coaching, nature-based practices, and compassionate support,
I guide women from overwhelm to ease, and from self-neglect to self-
nourishment — one intentional breath at a time.
MY STORY
From Disconnected to Deeply Rooted
For years, I was committed to personal growth — as a psychotherapist, as a client in therapy, and as someone genuinely trying to feel whole.
And still, something felt off.
I was moving through life like many women do: showing up for everyone else, while barely making space to breathe. My baseline stress was constant, and even with all my tools, I didn’t feel centered.
So I started exploring practices that helped me feel again — not just think differently
That led me to the forest. To meditation. To the practice of Qigong — a gentle, meditative movement that helped me soften my nervous system and strengthen my sense of self.
What I found was profound: calm wasn’t something I had to chase. It was something I could return to.
I created The Calming Ground to offer the same kind of support — grounded, accessible, and deeply nurturing — to others. Whether through coaching, courses, forest bathing, or our women’s membership community, I want to help you feel safe in your body, present in your life, and connected to your own inner rhythm.
“Coming home to yourself is the greatest gift you can give — to your life, your heart, and everyone you hold dear.”

MYÂ APPROACH
I’m not here to “fix” you — because you’re not broken.
My work is about helping you slow down enough to hear what’s already wise within you. Through decades of therapeutic experience, I’ve seen how transformational consistent, small shifts can be.
At The Calming Ground, I offer a gentle blend of mindfulness coaching, nervous system regulation practices, guided meditation, Qigong, and forest therapy.
I don’t pretend to be a guru. I laugh at myself often. And I hold space with honesty, presence, and deep care.
Compassion over perfection
Presence before productivity
Nature as medicine
Microshifts that build momentum
Realness over performance
