Elizabeth made the leap into private practice over 15 years ago and has not looked back since! While grateful for the opportunities she has had, private practice has enabled Elizabeth to expand her practice and follow her passions!

Elizabeth holds an undergraduate degree in Child and Youth Care and a Master of Arts in Education, along with several post-graduate certifications, including DIR/Floortime. She has spent many years working in the fields of disability services and family support across a variety of community, educational, and clinical settings.

In addition to her consultation work, Elizabeth is currently part of the Wisdom Well Collective, where she provides counselling and consultation to families raising children and youth with disabilities, as well as to young people with disabilities themselves. She also teaches part-time at a local university, sharing current research and best practices with the next generation of practitioners.

Throughout her career, Elizabeth has been deeply committed to advancing knowledge and education in the field. She has contributed to curriculum development projects, particularly in the area of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), including co-authoring an online training module and authoring a training course designed to support caregivers of adults with prenatal alcohol exposure.

Elizabeth supports families, care teams, and organizations working with neurodiverse children and youth, including those with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, Attention- Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), learning disabilities, and mental health challenges. Her experience includes work in residential treatment programs, schools, community settings, and specialized outreach services. Previously, Elizabeth was a trainer on Autism, supports and interventions, travelling to various small communities throughout the province. This provided a wealth of experience, collaborating with their school teams, local organizations, parent groups, and communities. Before becoming a consultant, Elizabeth gained extensive frontline experience in clinic and home-based programs, and as an FASD Key Worker.

Elizabeth was an active member of the FASD Collaboration Round Table for over a decade and has spoken locally and nationally on topics related to FASD. She remains committed to increasing awareness, promoting developmentally appropriate supports, and reducing the stigma associated with prenatal alcohol exposure. Currently, Elizabeth is a member of the Outdoor Early Leaning Association, committed to supporting outdoor learning education and experiences for families, children and youth.

In response to growing research around nature-based learning and well-being, Elizabeth founded the Outdoor Adventure Group (OAG), a fully inclusive program that brings youth with disabilities into local parks and natural spaces. The program focuses on social-emotional development, adaptive skills, and connection through outdoor play, while embracing the principles of inclusion, curiosity, and youth-led exploration.

Elizabeth is passionate about sharing knowledge and strengthening the capacity of families, professionals, and communities. She regularly collaborates with organizations and practitioners to expand access to training, support, and inclusive programming.

Elizabeth is a proud mum of two adult children, and has two Dachshund dogs, who often accompany her to outdoor visits! When not working, Elizabeth can be found exploring local trails, chasing waterfalls or views! A music lover, Elizabeth has been known to fly across Canada for a concert of her favourite artists!
