Peak Performance for Life

Peak performance extends beyond achievement at work or on the field. People operating at peak performance experience greater peace and fulfilling relationships, and they are inspired by a sense of greater purpose in their lives.

Dr. Elizabeth Ward helps clients achieve personal peak performance by developing a deeper understanding of themselves and a greater awareness of their vision for their future.

As the pace and complexity of life increase, many people experience additional daily stress trying to keep up and stay calm. From her extensive professional training and personal experience, Dr. Elizabeth Ward teaches her clients to manage stress and to navigate life transitions and unexpected challenges. Her collaborative strategies are customized for each client to:

Increase self-awareness
Improve interpersonal skills
Develop mindfulness techniques
Build resilience
Achieve personal goals

Elizabeth is a licensed psychologist, a certified coach (PCC) and a mindfulness instructor who helps conduct mindfulness research with Professor Ellen Langer at Harvard University. She is also a member of the American Psychological Association.

Dr. Ward’s coaching services are available in person, when possible, and virtually. Contact Dr. Ward at eward@DrElizabethWard.com.

"Dr. Elizabeth Ward has partnered with the Lown Cardiovascular Group to offer her Mindfulness Course to our cardiac patients. I highly recommend her techniques, as mindfulness can have many positive benefits in cardiac patients such as blood pressure reduction, improvements in heart rate variability, stress reduction and optimization of sleep. Many of my patients have not only benefited from their time with Elizabeth but have also learned lifelong skills which will continue to have positive benefits."

“I was facing a big challenge. In a month I would climb Kilimanjaro. Given all the effort that went in to it all, I was determined to succeed. I knew Elizabeth was an expert in mental conditioning and so I decided to speak with her about my upcoming adventure. She not only provided me with important strategies to use in any number of situations, she also did so with so much empathy and concern. I ended up having success on Kilimanjaro and have no doubt that I owe much of that success to Elizabeth.”
