“I would recommend Elizabeth to anyone interested in improving their performance. Her experience in working with world class athletes was helpful as we worked on the preparation for presentations as if I was about to play the “game” of my life. We use techniques such as visualization and meditation, to unleash my full power in critical presentations. It has not only increased my confidence, but drastically improved my function during these events. I am now more relaxed after a long day at work. My only regret in working with Dr. Ward, is that I didn’t start earlier; she is truly one at a kind at helping individuals of all types experience their true potential.”
