I’m certified in Transformational Coaching and Somatic Bodywork, and trained in both Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness. These approaches form the foundation of the CLEAR framework and the way I meet each client: with presence, compassion, and depth.
While navigating high-profile roles, I also committed to a deep inner practice.
I spent nearly 15 years as President and CEO of Cleveland.com, then led a publishing startup and held senior roles at American Greetings and in county government.
I bring a unique blend of executive leadership and contemplative practice to my work as a coach.
Welcome!
I’m Eliza
