When I feel connected to ‘my-self’, I create. I feel my self belief, trust, purpose, intuition, my true essence, it’s incredibly freeing.

My career path has created a deeply attuned instinct to art, design and transformational coaching. It’s taken me to fascinating, challenging, invigorating worlds of creativity, from working over the last 2 decades with world famous designers, globally, to harnessing my own artistic ability.
I’ve also had the pleasure to coach great leaders, this journey began in 2018 with the need to feel happier, my daughter was one and I was struggling to enjoy what I believed I should. Was I living fully or mostly coping?
I left McQ Alexander McQueen as Head of Print to have Elsie and suddenly I felt the importance of believing in yourself, because when I didn’t, she suffered and when I did, she thrived. Seeing the magnificence in her meant seeing the magnificence in me, in very being. The purpose of being on earth hit me, what a sensational gift. Now If i couldn't do what I creatively needed to do, how would she ever learn she could, wasn't this the biggest gift I could give her? This gave me immense courage to pursue the question ‘Who am I’ and my own creative solutions to the world’s problems.
It was then that I learnt that 90% of what we do is subconscious (the way we react, think, talk) and I started to personally explore how to understand and work with these parts of ourselves.
Whilst beginning We-Resonate, my dress collection that would restore my love of fashion.
I began to create dresses from gorgeous vintage silk scarves as my ode to what fashion can be; unique, timeless, heartfelt, sustainable. I soon started the collaging and began to write ‘Create Your Intentions’ the first edition of my Vision board workshop. I found living with intention and this daily call of inspiration was not only soothing by catalysed very exciting life chapters. After more studying inwards and of many teachers, it became clear that I was seeking peace. Now, years later the goal may be peace but the tools needed is conflict resolution, which begins with compassion. Yet, it can be very hard to be compassionate towards someone you don’t agree with, and this started within my own mind. So there it was, starting with the conflict in our inner worlds, finding self compassion created a great capacity for compassion outwards.
I’m here to guide you to more inner peace and trust. To enable you to see the great wonder in yourself, your ideas, your ability and explore your possibilities. To remember ‘who your are’ and show up to create what you're longing for.
I’ve dedicated the last 6 years to these questions, reconnecting people with their joys, purposes and intuition.
Coaching clients so far describe me as a transformational and empowerment coach, read their loving words here.
Design clients describe me as a creative force with the ability to just ‘get it’ and make it beautiful. My relationship will all clients is the most enjoyable part and importam
“When we are asking the world for peace, know, peace starts right here, in relationship with yourself.”
— Lizzie Clark
“Creativity is what happens when we are in connection with ourselves. With connection we create peace internally and externally.”
— Lizzie Clark
“Art is healing because it takes something unexplainable and gives us a silent remedy, a remembering of safety, trust and love, that we can go back to and gradually embody.”
— Lizzie Clark
How we relate is the answer to everything. Remembering this can be the problem…
How we relate is the answer to everything. When I am in good relationship with my self, I create. Here, i realised, I am in direct communication with my intuition, an inner wisdom that has my own answers, that no-one else could know. Supporting the development of this relationship in others is what I now love to do. There are many different ways to coach and mentor, for me when i found Internal Family Systems (IFS) it was clear.
One client described it as cutting through 30 years of talk therapy.
It’s so powerful with the difference that it works with permission of your system, it’s a incredibly respectful way to get to know your inner world and because of this it leads to deeper trust and somatic relief. I began by studying the IFS circle training and now I continue with the Continuity program every year which teaches specifics like IFS with somatic work, play therapy, diversity and more. Gabor Mate’s course The wisdom of trauma was a highly influential learning as well as The Work of Byron Katie as well as Peter Crone’s work. I practise Transcendental meditation and my own IFS work which has had the greatest impact on my ability to hold others.
I believe to the extent your coach/therapist has done their own inner work (shows up for themselves) is the extent they can guide (show up for) you.
I do this this because we resonate, every one of us has the power to be the change they want to see in the world. I believe its about harnessing the capacity to show up for yourself and others by creating harmonious relationships inwards and outwards.
I welcome you to join me in developing your creative aspects, whether it be design led, heart led or mind led and to begin I would simply ask:
What do you need right now?
This is where my own artwork began. Using prints, inks and text to create art pieces to adorn my walls and remind me daily of my possibilities. Like the vision boards, we are bombarded with imagery everyday so it’s incredibly powerful when we curate what we love to look at and live life by.
