About Elisabeth

If you were to find me in a dictionary, I expect the entry would look something like this: Tree loving nomadic individual with a penchant for books and curiosities. Having spent my formative years living and traveling in Europe, North America and Asia, I am have an almost irrepressible desire to wander.

For me, life is a a journey of discovery, an opportunity to push the boundaries of what we have been told is possible into the land beyond. This, I expect, is what has finally led me to coaching. Life is an opportunity, and through coaching I see the opportunity to help people reach out and grab that opportunity for themselves.

For some reason I have a proclivity towards many and unusual interests including long bow archery, martial arts, pre-Renaissance literature, calligraphy and illumination, heraldry, knitting lace and writing pen and paper letters to friends around the world.
