TESTIMONIALS FROM SPEAKING EVENTS
- Rachel Flowers Director of Education at Biolage
“We had Elizabeth Faye facilitate breath work to our incredible educator network at the Biolage Artist Collective. This was an absolutely powerful experience for us. Being able to learn from her and Derrick about what breath work can do for your physical and mental health was essential for the training. Elizabeth led us through the basics and then we walked away with some signature breath work techniques that can be shared easily with others. It was so wonderful to work with her from the very beginning. She really listened to what we needed and it was great to collaborate together to make this special just for us. Can’t wait to learn more and have her at more events for us.”

WELLBEING IS NO LONGER "nice to have"
For too long, the beauty industry has worn burnout as a badge of honor. Artist who are broke, underpaid, boundaryless & overextended & powering a billion-dollar industry. That era is over. Post-pandemic, we are choosing sustainability over sacrifice. Mental health is no longer taboo, and wellbeing is no longer a luxury — it is a strategic advantage. When we protect the people doing the work, we future proof the industry itself.
The professional's personal wellbeing is essential for long-term professional success.

- Leysa Carrilo [Global Speaker & Educator & Founder of Forever Curls]
Working with Elizabeth as a coach & at retreats truly changed my perspective and it changed my life. Elizabeth has this insane ability to make others feel truly loved, cared for, and seen. It's through her passionate discussions and encouraging words that I was able to reach my full potential in both my personal and professional life. Her expertise, wit, and humor make her an amazing coach and friend. The time I was able to spend learning from Elizabeth is truly invaluable for my life & business.
- Sarah Smith [C0-Founder of CocoLemon Education Company & Salon Owner]
Elizabeth's coaching container has taught me so much about now just how to be an entrepreneur but how to live a life AS an entrepreneur. Her retreat was also unlike anything I've ever been a part of. I learned so much about myself, my patterns that I want to change and left feeling empowered to come home and change. My life took a complete 180 spin in a better direction in direct correlation to the insight I learned from the retreat. Through the rest of the year I had support on the best of days and worst. I've been blessed to say I have met some of dearest friends from this container & it's invaluable to have friends who "get it" and push you to be better. Forever blessed to have been a part of. I am very glad to have invested in myself, my business and Elizabeth. She changed my life and I'll never forget that.
- Kayla Walker [Coach, Salon Owner & Hairstylist]
Working with Elizabeth for the last 2 years in her mastermind has forever changed how I run my life and and business. I knew I needed a business coach but didn't realize I would be getting such an amazing life coach, cheerleader, healer and friend in the process. When I join I was resistant to the healing and energetics side of Elizabeth's work. Little did I know it would the missing piece I needed to achieve bigger goals in business and life.
- Beth Nygard [Skin Expert, Spa Owner, Product Creator]
Elizabeth's programs and coaching changed my life forever. Doing breath work with Elizabeth broke down barriers I had up for decades. Elizabeth is 100% of what being a coach truly means. A guide, mentor, teacher with a constant support and empathy. Breaking down barriers gave me the ability to move in my business and make conscious decisions instead of impulsive ones. And as a HUGE bonus from this program, I've met and built amazing relationships with the best women that will last a lifetime! This experience has been such a win for my personal life AND business life. My bank account, business & life are forever changed.
- Laura Symons [Life & Business Coach, Salon Owner &Stylist]
I've gotten a lot more insight onto just like tightening up education systems & quickly learning about different learning types, learning about how to create a program, how to structure things so it really is like a rinse and repeat system. She really helped me in implementing a strong system to elevate my coaching company and through signing up and doing that. Not only that the healing journey I have gone on has been life changing & learning to lead in my feminine flow, Elizabeth has shown me just the truthfulness of that. Life changed in ALL ways.
- Yara De La Torre / astrologer & energetics coach
Thank you for being the perfect coach to guide me through some of the deepest parts of this healing.
And what this has done for my business and family is life changing.
- Lynzie Smith [Community Founder, Coach, Speaker & Podcast Host]
That is your gift, you've taught me how to heal in a way that will continue to have an impact on my business, continue to change my life, my relationships. That is where I have found so much value in working with you. I want you to know that you have unlocked parts of me that I didn't know, I had never met before. You have brought so much value back into my life. Into giving me a space to get to know myself. To really take the time to sit with myself and get to know who I am, what I love, what I believe, what matters to me. What I want to go out and do in the world. The impact that I want to have on other people. My value system. You have shown me over and over, even in the times that I felt frustration or anger or disappointment or confusion or whatever emotions have come up together, you have shown me how to change my life. I will always have so much gratitude and love for you. These tools have given me the space to finally trust that I can hold more. I can let go and release and alchemize the stuff that takes up too much space in my life. You have helped me unlock that for myself. I truly can say I embody that belief. I embody it gets to be easy and the better it gets the better it gets. I embody that I am powerful and strong and worthy and whole.
I am so grateful for you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

If you’ve talked to me in the last 2 weeks- you’ve experienced this wild boundary setting, high vibin’ boss! And I owe it all to my time working with Elizabeth & this community. I’ve spent my life investing in my career, in my salon and into others. For the FIRST TIME ever- I felt what it was like to invest in MYSELF. Elizabeth has created something beyond magic. Beyond transformative and way beyond community. We were left with authentic connection, vulnerability, understanding and a magnitude of growth. Thank you, Elizabeth and all of my other community I met along the way!
My life is forever changed- and so is my career!

As Elizabeth says, "when you feel good, you do good." Her body of work is a remembrance of the soul's knowing that the journey of entrepreneurship can feel easy, and that everything we desire is on the other side of heart led, flow filled approach. In my decade long experience as an entrepreneur, I have found nothing to be more important than the study of the principles contained in her work. Thank you Elizabeth for bringing this medicine to life.
Thank you for bringing this medicine to life."
Elizabeth is a voice for true liberation in every sense of the world. She's raw, real and has been through the depths of the shit. She's found real keys that unlock ease so we don't have to fumble in the dark. Her message of "Show me how easy it is"...is the culmination of her finding solutions for the struggles that everyone goes through as an entrepreneur. Elizabeth, you are a North Star for this world. We owe you, babe!
Elizabeth, you are a North Star for this world!"
A guiding light.
Her willingness to lean into challenge, look deeply in the mirror and make the changes that most are unable to make is inspiring. Her work & book is an extension of her courage, integrity and truth. The wisdom here is powerful, but what really rings true is that you are reading from someone that has walked the talk and has gotten uncomfortable in order to grow.
Her work will guide you home.
The new paradigm of leadership and business is here - and it’s not about working harder, it’s about welcoming in ease and grace - and in this book, Elizabeth teaches us exactly how. Grounded, heart centered and soul shaking - this book will guide you home.
Elizabeth's message of "Show Me Easy It Is" is blends spiritual insight and practical wisdom from a leader who feels like your best friend. Her work is a guiding light for anyone seeking meaning and direction in life's journey through the doubt, fear and struggles we all face. Drawing parallels between the interconnectedness of the universe and the intricate patterns of life, she invites you to consider the possibility that every experience, no matter how challenging, is a thread in the fabric of a larger, divine plan. If you are ready to heal, her work has found you as the perfect guide to help you on your path.
