Born and raised in Oregon, Elizabeth has overcome profound loss, abandonment, and the impact of addiction, a journey that has shaped her commitment to serve. Known for her unwavering faith, she is often called a friend to the friendless, a mother to the motherless, a coach, a mentor, and a spiritual leader. Elizabeth has worn many titles, from Olympic coach to spiritual advisor in correctional facilities, and now serves as the Activities Director at The Recovery Village at Palmer Lake, where she introduces clients to valuable recovery resources and tools for transformation.
Elizabeth’s journey has not been without challenges, but she views these struggles as pivotal in shaping her purpose.
