Elizabeth's Biography


Innovative and creative voice devoted to awakening consciousness & healing the soul


Elizabeth Burke is a healer and award-winning author. Her latest body of work working with surgical patients to prepare and with post-operative care is simple and direct.

Elizabeth Burke M.A. has been a creative voice in mind-body healing & somatic psychology for nearly 4 decades. She is a respected medical intuitive, innovative therapist, and teacher, who created the dynamic practices of Transforming Embodiment ® in 1991. With a master's degree (1996) in Contemplative and Somatic Psychology and Counseling she is a leader in her field.

Nearly 40 years ago, Elizabeth Burke underwent a transformational healing crisis that changed her forever. She emerged from this profound experience with expansive intuitive skills, and a deep understanding of embodiment and healing, and new-found knowledge on how to heal the past by working directly with the history and stories held within the cells, bones and tissues.

The combination of deep intuition and psychological insights and her ability to clearly see the relationships between the body, mind and the past are what sets her work apart.

Elizabeth also has a profound understanding of energy and embodiment and is able to see the patterns, and interconnections between the present and past with great clarity. She knows how the past can affect the body & mind in the present, how memories and trauma are embodied, how the past and even past life memories can affect us even now and how to transform all of these things once and for all.

She facilitates deep inner transformation and change, with ease and grace using this integrative approach.

Her work is a deft interface of Buddhist, Taoist and Hawai'ian traditions inspired by rich psychic & medical intuitive insights that heal the soul, enlighten the mind and release the wounds of the past directly from the body.

The Roots of Transforming Embodiment from Engaged Embodiment © 1996 by H. Elizabeth Burke M.A.


In 1991, I witnessed for the first time in someone other than myself the extraordinary grip past life memory has upon our physical body. Lynn began experiencing an irregular heart beat in 1990 while studying massage. This irregular beat frightened her and one day it became so wild and erratic that she was rushed to the hospital with her heart racing out of control. After a barrage of tests, the doctors discovered that she had a congenital heart defect.
Lynn began to investigate her symptoms but always fell short of understanding why her heart plagued her so. It eluded her until one winter's night during a training I was teaching where Lynn would discover the cause of her heart's irregular and rapid beat by working directly with the memories held in her heart.
