"Grounded in the earth, at home in both academic and spiritual teachings, Elizabeth is a true emissary of heart, casting a brilliant light on all misconceptions held regarding money, bringing the concept of inner economics into a form of individual truth. The sessions with Elizabeth were not only an education into the practical, but a journey beyond expectation. Her kindness, patience, and sincerity of humble heart were an embrace that helped to guide me through doors I didn't know existed. This commitment of passion to educate, guide, and support is a gift for which I am eternally grateful. Elizabeth is a true curandera of grace, and knowledge. It is a blessing and an honor to participate in this work with her."

"Inner Economics gave me a strong sense of inner value and possibility and a road map which has shown me quite concretely where I am coming from in with regard to my financial beliefs-practices, where I am now, and where I want to go".

"Inner Economics offers the opportunity to take a comprehensive in-depth look at one's relationship to money and the socio-economic realm of one's life. Money is something we interact with on a daily basis, yet few of us are conscious of the deeper impact and significance money has in our lives. Through the guided reflection and practical tools of Inner Economics we begin to understand what notions, archetypes, emotions influence our behaviors and interactions with money, which then afford the opportunity to learn how to transform this life-long relationship.
As we are in this critical time of global economic transformation, Inner Economics offers a safe and revelatory space to explore our relationship to money and choose how to transform the socio-economic realm of our lives from the inside out".

"The work my partner and I did with Elizabeth was invaluable. It opened up a whole new awareness with regard to money and possibility. Whereas my previous position was one of denial and anxiety, I now feel more freedom and control than I'd thought were possible. The money relationship needs continual tending, but Elizabeth put us on the right path with the right tools, and we'll be forever grateful for that".

"One morning – with amusement - I had the realization that me and Bernard Madoff had something important in common: we employed Ponzi schemes. He ripped off thousands of people, I - fortunately for everybody else - ripped off myself, without evil intent though, just regular dysfunction. I had just looked up the exact meaning of “Ponzi scheme”, and I saw parallels to how I dealt with my own personal finances. I robbed Peter to pay Paul, or Petra to pay Pauline. I lacked integrity in my financial life, and although I had been lucky so far and avoided major consequences, the plot started to thicken: I was not getting any younger, and I became more and more aware of how my money games took away from my quality of life and how I was sabotaging myself in the end.
When I first started working with Elizabeth part of me was hopeless: I had worked with people in her field of work before with no lasting results to show for. She gave time and care to evaluating my situation and provided an atmosphere where hope and trust could develop without negating the fact that changes needed to be made. She gave me space to take a look at all the contradicting and self-sabotaging behaviors I had habitually brought to money matters. At the same time she pointed out positive decisions I had made and possibilities that I had not seen before. Right from the start she helped me sort out the different voices that spoke up too loudly and those which failed to be heard at all in the cacophony of my inner Board-of-Advisors meetings that preceded decisions around finances. Balance was the goal, and awareness, and the integration of suppressed and unacknowledged material from the past. Her approach was unwaveringly non-judgmental which was important to me because we found out just how much shame and secrecy were contributing to the confusion I had created around all things related to money. The box of tools she brings to her work is impressive, and she uses them creatively and with sensitivity to the moment, from practical advice to spiritual insights and references. Her work is anchored in a view of the world and of life that I can relate to and that I respect: kindness, integrity, and creativity.
I feel lucky to be able to work with Elizabeth. For the first time I have hope for bringing integrity into this part of my life, too. I trust her skills and the vision she brings to her work and that she helps me develop in mine".

"When I first was told that Elizabeth’s ‘inner economics’ counseling might be useful for my business, a voice inside my head said, ‘Oh boy, new-agey stuff!’ I have done plenty of ‘inner’ work and thought ‘inner economics’ could be good for more ‘inner’ something, certainly not ‘outer economics’ - after all, my goal was to make my business successful!
Here’s the good news: I found ‘inner economics’ useful both for ‘inner’ and ‘economics’. I was surprised at what came to the light while working with Elizabeth: Old habits of thinking from childhood, patterns of negative phrasing and emotional associations with money, which once seen, were obvious blockages to financial success. These economic insights, which showed me the previously hidden thoughts I was holding that were in effect repelling money, also opened a new view to past family life relationships that I had not known before seeing them through the lens of economic inquiry.
The result of working with Elizabeth has been to feel more at ease with money, more openness to unfolding my dreams and being seen in the world for what I choose to bring into it. I highly recommend Elizabeth and her ‘inner economics’ work as I consider it to be some of the most profound and rewarding ‘inner work’ I have done".
