HERSTORY...
|
FROM LIVED EXPERIENCE AS A COMPLEX TRAUMA SURVIVOR, TRAINING IN PEER MENTAL AND CHRONIC HEALTH COACHING CERTIFICATIONS, PLUS END OF LIFE CAREGIVING, ELIZABETH BEGAN TO EXPLORE HOW SHE COULD INFLUENCE HER OWN PATH OF RECOVERY AND HEALING OUTSIDE OF A SYSTEM THAT WAS NOT ONLY NOT IMPROVING HER WELLBEING, BUT ACTUALLY UNDERMINING IT THROUGH IATROGENESIS (MEDICAL HARM).
SHE BEGAN TO GROUP TOGETHER AND EMPLOY TOOLS AS HER PRACTICE TO HELP HER NAVIGATE A PATH OF ADVERSITY. SHE WAS ALSO ABLE TO DEVELOP TOOLS WHICH SUPPORT CONNECTION, WELLBEING AND INTEGRATION - WHAT SHE CALLS A RE-MEMBERING PROCESS, THROUGH DOWNLOADED TRANSMISSIONS AND REAL TIME APPLICATIONS. |

SHE IS PASSIONATE ABOUT OPENING TO PRESENCE, A PLACE WHERE ENCOUNTERS WITH MYSTERY AND DIVINITY FLOW FROM.

"THE MEDITATIVE STATE WHICH OCCURS THROUGH CREATIVE FLOW
IS A WAY TO CONNECT WITH UNCONSCIOUS PARTS OF OURSELVES
AND TO BECOME OPEN TO NEW WAYS OF UNDERSTANDING
WHAT OPTIONS WE HAVE. WHAT WE LEARN ABOUT OURSELVES
THROUGH CREATIVE EXPRESSION IS COMPARABLE
TO GROWING OUR IMAGINATIONS".
SHE HAS STUDIED MINDFULNESS AND PRACTICES A MINDFUL APPROACH TO WHAT IS UNIQUELY ARISING FOR HER. THIS NOT ONLY IS AN ENTRYWAY INTO AWARENESS- AS A MEANS TO BECOMING A WITNESS TO THIS EXPERIENCE, IT MOVES ONE INTO COMPASSIONATE ACCEPTANCE FOR WHAT IS, THE NEEDED STEP TOWARDS TAKING CONSCIOUS ACTIONS.

2019, MIXED MEDIA ON CANVAS WITH DIGITAL EFFECTS. ELIZABETH IZZO
ELIZABETH NAVIGATED A SPIRITUAL EMERGENCY AND A SPIRITUAL AWAKENING AS A THEN PSYCHIATRIC PATIENT WHILE RECKLESSLY BEING WITHDRAWN FROM PRESCRIBED PSYCHIATRIC MEDICATION WITHOUT A TAPER. IT WAS LIFE-THREATENING. THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HEALTH HAS RECENTLY (2023) ADDRESSED THIS MEDICATION'S HARM THROUGH RESEARCH WHILE NAMING IT, BIND.
SHE SPENT YEARS EDUCATING HERSELF ON THE NOT UNCOMMON HARMFUL EFFECTS OF PSYCHIATRIC MEDICATIONS. THIS INVESTMENT WAS MADE ALL IN THE NAME OF LIBERATING HERSELF OF THEIR INFLUENCE, AND PROTECTING HERSELF FROM LONG TERM HARM DUE TO CHRONIC USE.
THE WITHDRAWAL EVENT WAS CATASTROPHIC FOR HER NERVOUS SYSTEMS AND RESULTED IN CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS. THOSE HEALTH CHALLENGES BECAME HER DEVOTED FOCUS TO RECOVER FROM THROUGH INTEGRATIVE, ANCIENT, NATURAL, AND FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE BRANCHES OF HEALTHCARE. SHE ALSO INCORPORATED HER OWN WELLNESS VISION OF MANIFESTING STARTING IN JANUARY OF 2025. THOSE PRACTICES CONTINUE TO INFORM HER WORK AS A HEALING ARTS PRACTITIONER AND SOUL COACH.
WHILE STUDYING PLANT MEDICINE DURING A TIME OF LIVING AND WORKING IN AN ARTS COLLECTIVE IN PORTLAND, OREGON, SHE DEEPENED INTO HER APPROACH FOR HOLISTIC RESPONSES. RETURNING TO SHAMANIC PRACTICES (ESPECIALLY AS THEY PERTAIN TO ARTMAKING THROUGH INTENTION AND RITUAL, AND PREVIOUSLY ACCESSED PRIOR TO THE EMERGENCY), TO UNDERSTAND HER OWN LIFE EXPERIENCES AS INITIATIONS INTO A CALLING AS AN ESOTERIC PRACTITIONER IN THE FIELD OF INTUITIVE HEALING ARTS.
THROUGH UNCERTAINTY, CHANGE AND ADVERSITY, SHE RETURNS TO AN ABILITY TO RECONNECT WITH HERSELF AND MAKE SENSE OF INNER AND EXTERNAL INFLUENCES THROUGH ARTMAKING AND OTHER ECO-PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACHES.
UNDERSTANDING THAT THE PROCESS IS THE WAY TO BEGIN ANEW, AND TO BE OPEN TO NEW AND EMERGING DIRECTIONS THROUGH ACTIVE EXPERIMENTATION.
THIS IS A WAY TO RESPOND TO A DYNAMIC LIFE PATH.
HER INTERESTS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INSPIRED BY THE INQUIRY AND UNFOLDMENT OF THE CREATIVE AND PSYCHO-SPIRITUAL LENSES. SHE ALIGNS WITH A TRANSPERSONAL COSMOLOGY, AND ONE WHEREIN ART, SPIRITUALITY AND MYSTICISM INTERSECT.
IS THE GURU WITHIN?
AS AN UNMASKED WOMAN AND SPIRITUAL JOURNEYER, SHE BELIEVES THAT BECOMING OUR AUTHENTIC SOULFUL SELVES READIES US TO BECOME AVAILABLE FOR THE UNFOLDMENT OF EMERGENT ENERGIES. THOSE ENERGIES GUIDE AND GIFT US WITH A KIND OF INNER WISDOM BYWAY OF THEIR CREATIVE INQUIRY INTO MANIFESTATION.
THIS KIND OF PROCESS WORK IS A PRACTICE.
IT BEGINS WITH A WILLINGNESS TO TAKE EACH STEP AS WE'RE INTENDED TO BY DIVINE DESIGN, ONE AT A TIME, WHILE BEFRIENDING OURSELVES ALONG THIS JOURNEY.
"IT IS THROUGH A DEVELOPMENTAL APPROACH OF BOTH ACCEPTING YOURSELF JUST AS YOU ARE WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY UNDERSTANDING THAT ANY CHANGE - WHICH CAN BE ACHIEVED THROUGH DIFFERENT AND NEW CONSCIOUS CHOICES, ONLY FOLLOWS THAT FULL ACCEPTANCE AS AN EMBRACE OF WHO WE ARE TODAY"
THIS WORK IS PROCESS ORIENTED. ANY TRANSFORMATION IS ACHIEVED THROUGH THE INTRODUCTION AND REPETITION OF EMPLOYING NEW PRACTICES WHICH HELP YOU LEARN TO CHOOSE NEW WAYS OF BEING IN THE WORLD. WAYS MORE OPTIMALLY ALIGNED WITH YOUR OWN SENSE OF WELLBEING AND CONNECTION. AGAIN, ONE STEP AT A TIME.
SHE RECEIVED HER CERTIFICATION IN ECO-PSYCHOLOGY FROM THE RETREAT @PACIFICA GRADUATE INSTITUTE. PREVIOUSLY, ELIZABETH STUDIED MYSTICISM WITH SPIRITUAL TEACHER AND COLLECTIVE TRAUMA EXPERT, THOMAS HUBL IN HIS COMMUNITY OF PRACTITIONERS. IN ADDITION, SHE WAS A USA REPRESENTATIVE MEMBER/JOURNEYER WITH THE FINDHORN FOUNDATION'S PROGRAMMING, LIVING THE NEW STORY, SERIES 1-3 (BEGUN IN 2016).
HER BACKGROUND IS IN NON-CLINICAL HEALTHCARE, ARTS AND ARTS PROGRAMMING, FACILITATION, EDUCATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVISM.
SHE HOLDS HER BGS FROM INDIANA UNIVERSITY AS A FIRST GENERATION COLLEGE GRADUATE ADULT RETURNING STUDENT AND SCHOLAR, AND IS A NATIVE AND CURRENT CHICAGOAN.

"Firstly, you are whole. You are enough. You can know yourself as the authentic being you are meant to be - whole and experiencing wellbeing and worthiness.
What if life were a series of initiations? We can and do heal, grow, evolve, become, create and ascend - reaching a higher understanding of consciousness.
This allows for coming into our potentiality.
We are not only capable of transmuting our darkness into light ➤ love, it is our birthright to do so!
We are all witnesses to this truth"

Exquisite Mandala as represented by 6 artists. Chalk Pastel ©2019
Elizabeth will be re-launching her original integration art-making practice of The Exquisite Mandala. This tool, pictured left, was utilized in being with six artist participants. This transpired in a group she participated in for heart-centered women entrepreneurs in Portland, Oregon in April of 2017.
"Elizabeth led us through the creation of the mandala, which was really fun and fascinating! Such a great exercise to see how we all fit, despite difference. I loved it because I could feel my inner being guiding me and I felt free! It's interesting because I'm not normally drawn to creating art, but, when I do, I feel transformed. Thank you, Elizabeth!!!"
