Her Journey
“If I can’t do what I’m meant to do in this life, to help others, I will continue to do so on the other side.”
Singer, songwriter, actress and author, Elizabeth’s eclectic life led her to her ultimate mission: to help those on their spiritual path.
Born and raised on the North Shore of Long Island, she graduated from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts and co–founded Theco…A Theatre Company in New York City. While singing pop music in various metropolitan area cabaret venues, Elizabeth was commissioned by the New Theatre of Brooklyn to perform a one–woman show. For many years, she augmented her theatre career with work in the advertising and banking worlds.
Elizabeth moved to Tucson, Arizona and worked with the Victim Witness Program (crisis intervention) and remained with them as a volunteer for several years. She obtained her real estate license and published a series of articles on local real estate. She was also an executive assistant at Raytheon..
But Elizabeth found her most important calling as the Southwest Area Coordinator for The Way of the Heart™ . Her spiritual counselling helped guide others through life’s difficult challenges. When she was diagnosed with cancer, Elizabeth believed her work was not contingent nor bound to a physical body, but would continue to help and heal as her spirit lives on. In her dying, she showed others how to live.

Testimonials
“Her wisdom, her humanity and her loving kindness not only had a great bearing on Elizabeth’s own survival – they altered my approach to treating her, and future patients, before and after surgery, and throughout their entire recovery period…Elizabeth’s insights could be of huge value to anyone, patient and medical professionals, alike, facing the fearful realities of cancer.
“I highly recommend that attending physicians keep three copies of Elizabeth’s book in their office – one to read themselves, a second for their staff to share, and a third in their reception area, for all of their patients’ benefit.” - Becky Natrajan, M.D., P.C
“Throughout the entire process of treating Elizabeth, she was a breath of fresh air for everyone in our office. Elizabeth simply refused to allow massive surgery and aggressive treatments to slow her down. She gave positive meaning to every aspect of her ordeal and her unique perspective benefited us all. I would recommend this book to anyone who has a cancer diagnosis touching their lives.” - Steven J. Ketchel M. D. FACP
