Hi, I’m Eliza
A Certified Nervous System & Somatic Coach
My Approach
Rather than chasing quick fixes, it's my mission to get to the root of what's keeping you stuck, helping you understand your nervous system and learn to work with it rather than against it, to transform your health and wellbeing.
I use an integrative, trauma-informed mind-body approach combining nervous system work, somatic practices, subconscious rewiring and parts work with forward focused life coaching.
This work is not about coping better or pushing through. It is about understanding the patterns beneath the exhaustion, the overwhelm, reconnecting with yourself and living a life that feels good to you.
The Living Empowered Method was born out of lived experience and the methods that worked. At the heart of the framework are three phases:
Explore Bring awareness to the patterns, pressures and responses that have been keeping you stuck in stress, anxiety or survival
Reconnect Come back into balance, with yourself, your body, your needs and the life you want to live
Empower Create lasting change with the right tools, clarity and support behind you
Because insight is powerful. But it’s the integration that transforms a life.
Why I Do It
The greatest privilege of this work is watching someone go from running on empty, to feeling at ease and energised by their life.
Witnessing that moment when someone realises they aren't powerless, that they can trust themselves, their body and their intuition, is incredible. It is why I do what I do.
Because this work really is so much more than transforming your health. It's about reconnecting to the version of yourself that exists underneath years of stress and conditioning.
I create a safe space where you are met exactly as you are with warmth, honesty and compassion. Together, we work to understand what your body is asking for, rebuild trust in yourself and create lasting change that feels aligned with who you are.
Supporting people through that journey is, without question, the most meaningful work I have ever done.
In a world that constantly pulls us outward, this is time you can invest in coming back to yourself.
My Story
I know what it’s like to feel stuck and overwhelmed, wondering if anything will ever change.
I spent years throughout my teens and early twenties building a life that looked exactly right from the outside, always striving, performing, achieving and showing up to meet everyone else's expectations.
But underneath it I was running on override, shaped by years of societal conditioning about what I should be doing, how I should look and how much I should produce. In reality I had very little sense of what I actually wanted or needed. I just kept going.
Over time I became so normalised to living in a state of chronic stress that I stopped noticing the warning signals my body was sending me, partly because they are so normalised in people today. Eventually my body stopped cooperating, in a way I could no longer ignore.
I tried everything I could to get my life back.
What followed was overwhelming. A tightness in my chest, a racing heart, aches and exhaustion I couldn't shake - all signs of a nervous system completely stuck in survival. At my worst I was housebound, barely able to walk or manage even the smallest tasks.
The turning point came when I discovered the mind-body connection and the role our nervous system plays in our health, not just physically but in how we respond to the world around us. Our energy, our mood, our emotions, our capacity, how we show up in every area of life. It is the root system. And until you work at that level, nothing else will hold. A system that, when you learn to work with rather than against, changes everything.
Today I am healthier, happier and the most myself I have ever been.
Within months of using the methods I now teach, my health improved dramatically. But I didn't just reclaim my health. In the process I expanded my capacity to handle stress, started meeting my own needs, turned my inner critic into a voice of self compassion and learned to say no and set boundaries without guilt.
Going through this transformation has left me with a completely new appreciation for my sense of self. I trust myself, I know what I want and have clarity on what I value.
I now live a life that feels incredibly fulfilling, no longer on autopilot but doing all the things I love and soaking up every experience I can. I couldn't be more grateful.
And I want you to know, there is nothing special about me or my system. If I can get unstuck, so can you.
