Elizabeth’s Story
Elizabeth Caroline, has built the reputation of being a leading wellness expert. Her path is an unconventional one…
Years of witnessing challenging things on a daily basis during her time serving in the Metropolitan police service, inspired Elizabeth to explore spirituality, and she discovered its incredible power to heal.
This led her to a career change in her early thirties, she trained as a sports and bodywork therapist in London, opened her own spa business and worked as a renowned holistic facialist in London. Expertly intertwining her spiritual training with her unique healing modalities. She gained a client list of high profile celebrities and beauty journalist wishing to work with her, with the likes of Ellie Goulding, Millie Mackintosh, Sadie Frost and Nicola Roberts speaking publicly of her talents. Her beauty journalist clients often referred to her in the press as ‘The Skin Samurai’, a direct reflection of the Zen Buddhist teachings that have influenced her life so deeply.
Having studied with different spiritual teachers since her mid-twenties, and notably a Buddhist Zen Master for the last six years.
A deep spirituality, love and respect infuses all that Elizabeth does. Having had her own daily personal meditation practice for over 25 years, she trained with her current teacher Daizan Roshi (the first English man to be ordained as a Zen Master in Japan) to qualify as an international Zen meditation and mindfulness teacher. She is also now training to become a Zen Buddhist teacher under Daizan’s guidance.
This spiritual path led Elizabeth to explore her own life more deeply. A life of challenge and growth. A parents cancer diagnosis, the severe poor mental health of a partner, difficult past relationships underpinned by domestic violence and loved ones struggles with long-term addiction, all showed her that having the courage to look more deeply at all of these life experiences, although at times proved to be incredibly painful, also led Elizabeth to witness first hand, the incredible transformation our lives can take when we choose to take control of our own healing and truly face ourselves.
Her Zen practice led her to see the benefits of exploring past or current difficulties intimately and with courage and over time revealed the deep rooted transformation this can bring.
This same path has led Elizabeth to deeply believe, that we all have the power to bring healing to ourselves and others, even when that may seem an absolutely impossible task.
Her jewellery symbolises knowledge, wisdom and healing.
Elizabeth has always looked to holistic modalities in order to support her own personal healing journey.

Even in the midst of chaos, pain or uncertainty, gentleness can still arise. Her utmost wish is that we all strive to to be gentle towards ourselves, others and the earth.
