BIO & CV

Elizabeth Carpenter,

I came to medicine by way of professional dance.

An injury became a blessing when it threatened my career. As a last ditch effort, I saw a colleague’s acupuncturist.

The treatment acted like magic, utterly rewriting the story around the injury, and my future, entirely.

In the space of single hour, my life was returned to me.

I went from needing surgery, getting replaced - what I worked my life for disappearing, hopelessness and anxiety . . . to being back in the game.

I remember calling the company from her office: "I'll be back in rehearsal tomorrow."

That miracle was the beginning of a greater journey. My health transformed through the power of Chinese medicine. My life transformed through its wisdom teachings.

And so it was that I found my next calling, before I'd even concluded my first. I'd been planning on law school after dance. Instead I headed straight to Chinese medicine school the week after I retired.

Over the next 25+ years I would work with thousands of patients, and teach hundreds of students.

I would also devote myself to studying several additional mind-body & energy medicine healing systems.

I developed a signature way of integrating and layering multiple therapies for amplified results.

MSOM, LAC, CLHYP

As a Chinese medicine acupuncturist & herbalist, Bowen therapist and hands-on healer,

I experienced a thousand times over, your own energy’s power to heal you.

I developed skill in cueing the body’s innate healing intelligence through instruments such as needles, herbs and touch.

Over the decades

As a hypnotherapist, counselor & mind-body therapist,

I became well-versed in how your interpretation of your own life events impacts your physical body, your mental health and your emotional wellbeing. How your beliefs, thoughts and emotions heal or harm you, and most importantly, how you can use your mindbody connection to heal on every level - to harness "the consciousness factor.”

As a HeartMath mentor and instructor & energy medicine teacher,

I’ve seen that everyone can learn to connect within, to their own energy and Greater Energy, the spirt of mind-body-spirit, to foster wellbeing in all four energy dimensions: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual.

My passion now

is to mentor, teach & empower people to become self-healers.

To empower as many people as I can to wake up & activate these energy, or spiritual self-healing and wellbeing technologies inside themselves. To connect within.

To help people end “the war within,” to unlock the secrets of their own energy and spirit, so they experience more abundance in their bodies, minds, and hearts, in their relationships and lives.

And that they share these skills with others - their families, and communities.

Vision

Beyond our own individual needs for healing, personal energy mastery has the potential to become a common bond between us.

A bond with the potential to bring much need healing to how we relate to one other, and so, to initiate healing on a grand scale.
