"I worked with Elizabeth after receiving Iboga treatment for opiate addiction. The post-Iboga integration work I did with Elizabeth was an integral part of my recovery and healing. Elizabeth was compasionnate, sensitive and encouraging. I felt heard and supported as I worked through some very big and difficult emotions. Her passion and dedication to plant medicine healing is inspiring. Through our sessions I was able to reconnect with my spirit and true self."
