When I first started working with Elisabeth over a year ago, I was a new mother in an abusive marriage. But I thought I was the problem. I had no self-esteem. I hated motherhood. My son triggered memories in me I didn’t know existed. I was severely suicidal because I’d lost all hope. After a decade of counselling, I couldn’t think of another way out. I’d tried everything including drugs, doctors, friends and relatives, but nothing was working. Thanks to Elisabeth, I found my strength and my voice. I left my husband and emotionally disconnected from my abusers. I’ve realized my worth. I’m a happy mom and I’m no longer suicidal. Is my life perfect? No. But Elisabeth helped me process my childhood trauma. She was my guiding light. She was my substitute mother, my earth mother. I wanted Elisabeth to save me, but she accomplished more than that. She taught me how to save myself. Elisabeth is a truly remarkable, kind, nurturing, firm, wise and intelligent woman. She gave me the tools to mother myself. She gave me the tools to mother my son. Without her, I’m terrified to think where I’d be. Most importantly, she believed me. She validated my truth. We went to dark places, but she wasn’t afraid. She never judged me or humiliated me. She heard me. She intuitively picked up on my needs. She was consistent and reassuring. She answered every email and every question with prompt and thoughtful compassion. She gave me a second chance at life. I’m forever grateful for her work and her presence in this universe. I’m still rebuilding my life and making lots of mistakes, but I love myself unconditionally… perhaps for the first time. Thank you Elisabeth!  Andrea
