Hi. I'm Elizabeth - Life Coach, Nature Lover, and Creator of Live by Design.

I’ve always been a nurturer at heart — of people, animals, and the beautiful living world around me. For 15 years, I devoted myself to raising my daughter, and when I returned to the workforce, I started again from the bottom. I found joy in connecting with people through customer care roles, helping them solve their problems, but deep down, I knew I was meant for something more.

As life unfolded, I transitioned into corporate and government roles. The work was steady and the pay was reliable, yet that quiet longing for deeper fulfilment never left me. I often felt that my skills, experience, and insight were undervalued — that I had so much more to offer, yet my voice was never truly heard. I knew I could make a meaningful difference, but I wasn’t in a space that allowed me to.

When my marriage ended and my daughter flew the nest, I suddenly had the time and space to pause — and to listen. Then the pandemic came, and with it, a series of redundancies that forced me to stop and truly reflect.

During that period, I turned inward and began a spiritual journey that started with an 11-day silent meditation retreat. It was there that I reconnected with my inner voice — my intuition — and began to hear the guidance of my higher self. I realised I was being called to create a life that felt truly mine — one built on freedom, purpose, and ease.

That calling led me to Melbourne, where I completed my Diploma in Life Coaching. At the end of an 18-month corporate contract, I took a leap of faith and committed to coaching full-time. Since then, my life has transformed completely. Today, I live — and work — by design. My days are intentionally shaped around what nourishes me: bike riding, yoga, cooking healthy meals, and serving my 1:1 clients in meaningful, soul-led ways.

As a coach, I finally feel that everything I once yearned for has found its place. I provide genuine value to my clients — and, by extension, to their families and communities. Through my work, I see the ripple effect of transformation and empowerment, and I feel a deep sense of satisfaction that I had been seeking my entire working life.

The fulfilment I once searched for now comes through witnessing my clients’ growth — seeing them apply the tools, guidance, and teachings we explore together to create their own transformations. Watching them thrive fills my heart and affirms that I am living my purpose.

Now, I’m here to help you do the same — to design a life that flows with clarity, comfort, and joy. Because you, too, deserve to live a life that feels deeply aligned, peaceful, and free.
