Hi, I’m Elizabeth...
(yes, all four syllables)
My mom made me promise never to shorten it to Liz—though I’ll admit, I rebelled in high school and college.
Eventually, I came back around to honoring her request. These days, my clients keep it simple and just call me Dr. E.
​
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been curious about how to be better—whether it was figuring out how to make my friends laugh, ace a test, or impress my crush. I didn’t just want to get things right; I wanted to understand how to grow and improve, even if I didn’t know that’s what I was doing at the time.
​
Back then, I thought chasing perfection was the key to confidence. (Maybe you can relate?)
But instead of feeling secure, my pursuit of perfection left me riddled with even more self-doubt.
There had to be a better way.
​
That curiosity became my life’s work. I earned a Master’s in Physical Therapy and a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, not to mention certifications ranging from Master NLP Practitioner to group fitness instructor (yes, I taught aerobics for nearly two decades). But my education didn’t stop there.
Whether I’m devouring an audiobook on neuroscience or taking a negotiation course, I love geeking out on anything that helps me grow—and, more importantly, helps me help others.
Winning starts within—and I’m here to help your organization achieve extraordinary results.
After working with clients for over 30 years, I’ve developed a process called
Neuro-Regenerative Training (NRT)—a science-backed approach that rewires the brain for lasting change. In my keynotes and coaching sessions, I bring this powerful method to life, helping leaders and teams unlock their full potential.
So how does it work? NRT is grounded in cutting-edge neuroscience and techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Positive Psychology, designed to shift habitual thought patterns and create new neural pathways. By applying these strategies, individuals can retrain their minds to work for them, not against them.
Because here’s the truth: Every transformation starts in the mind. The way we talk to ourselves—often without even realizing it—shapes our emotions, drives our actions, and ultimately determines our success.
And this isn’t just theory—it’s proven neuroscience. Through intentional, structured exercises, NRT helps repattern thinking, increase resilience, and cultivate a success-oriented mindset. Attendees don’t just leave my talks inspired; they walk away with practical, research-backed tools to create real, lasting shifts in their behavior and leadership.
Why does this matter? Because when individuals and organizations harness the power of their own minds, they build stronger cultures, make better decisions, and achieve extraordinary results.
The Power of the Mind
I started my career as a physical therapist, but it didn’t take long to realize that the mind plays just as big a role in our health and performance as the body. So, I went back to school to study psychology, and I remember thinking, Why do I need a Ph.D. to learn this? Everyone should know how their brain works! That’s why I wrote my first book, A Happy You: Your Ultimate Prescription for Happiness, to share these life-changing insights in simple, digestible ways.
Of course, writing a book led to speaking opportunities—which terrified me. The idea of speaking to a group larger than three used to make me feel like I was about to skydive without a parachute—terrifying, ill-advised, and likely ending in disaster. But I practiced what I preach. I used the very mindset tools I teach to overcome my self-doubt, train my brain, and build confidence.
Fast forward to today, and I’ve been featured in over 100 national media interviews—including The Today Show, Good Morning America, and CNN—with my insights quoted in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Forbes, and even Cosmo.
And speaking? It’s my ultimate passion. Stepping onto the stage, connecting with audiences, and sharing game-changing insights that spark real transformation—it’s where I thrive.
My younger self never could have imagined this journey. Or the fact that my face would end up on a Wheaties box!
Dreams do come true!

This Work Changes Lives
What I share on stage isn’t just theory—it’s lived experience.
For over 30 years, I’ve been navigating life’s challenges, including nearly a decade by my husband’s side as he faces ALS on a ventilator. I know firsthand that resilience isn’t just about overcoming obstacles—it’s about finding strength, growth, and meaning in the process.
The insights I bring to my keynotes aren’t just concepts; they’re real, practical tools that help people lead with clarity, navigate change, and thrive—even in the face of adversity.
Because when we shift our mindset, we unlock new possibilities. And that changes everything.
Resilience isn’t just about overcoming obstacles—it’s about learning how to thrive through them. My talks focus on the science-backed techniques that have helped me navigate life’s most profound challenges with strength and clarity.
