Who I Am
I am Elizabeth Lara, a clinical hypnotherapist, counsellor, and energy healer based in Tallebudgera on the Gold Coast of Australia.
I work with people from all over the world, both in person and online, to help them access the deeper layers of who they are and step into the life they know is possible.
I came to this work through recognising my natural abilities, lived experience, passion and learning.
I know what it is to carry heavy experiences and the realisation that it is me who can utilise them as learning and opportunities for growth.
I know what it is to feel the pull of a more expanded version of myself and to not quite know how to reach her.
And I know what it feels like when something finally shifts.
My Approach
Many people come to me knowing, somewhere deep within themselves, that there is a more expanded version of who they are. They can sense it. They may even catch glimpses of it. And yet something keeps pulling them back, keeping them from the life they know is possible.
That something is a pattern, woven into the subconscious mind over time, where experiences of fear, anxiety, or threat became linked to certain situations, relationships, or ways of being.
These associations were never consciously chosen. They were simply the mind's way of keeping you safe. What once protected you can eventually become the very thing that limits you.
I work at this deeper level, beneath the conscious mind, in the energy fields, where those patterns actually live. Depending on what your unique journey calls for, this may include exploring ancestral patterns that have been quietly inherited across generations, reuniting and healing the inner child, bringing the masculine and feminine energies within you into harmony and mutual recognition, aligning the energy centres of the body to restore natural flow and vitality, or drawing on cognitive tools from strategic psychotherapy to support lasting and conscious change.
Each of these threads, when gently addressed, contribute to a truly holistic transformation that is felt in the mind, in the body, in the emotions, and the spirit.
I work gently and directly with the subconscious to recalibrate what is ready to evolve.
The nervous system begins to soften. Safety, calm, and confidence emerge naturally from within.This work is tailored to you.
It is respectful of your pace, your history, and your wholeness. And it is designed to set you free, allowing the version of yourself you have always known was there to step forward.
My Story
Born in Colombia, I spent my childhood in a small, remote village.
My family life was marked by fear, sadness, and deep dysfunction. Abuse and instability were constants, but even in the darkest moments, I knew deep down that life could be different.
I clung to the hope that harmony, love, and safety were possible, not only in my imagination.
From a young age, I dreamed of creating a family like the one I never had: a safe, nurturing home where my children would feel seen, loved, and free to be themselves.
These day-dreams became my hope. My mother was the only source of unconditional love I knew. She was gentle, kind, and trapped in a painful marriage that eventually claimed her life through chronic illness.
I lost her when I was just 13. No words could describe the sense of loss that I felt.
My sister and I found ourselves under the care of a father whose abuse escalated to terrifying extremes.
It was our reality.
At the time, my brother, a teenager, had already faced expulsion from the home for his efforts to protect us.
We were broken and alone, clinging to fragments of strength. But even then, I could see beyond the chaos.
I carried a vision of something better, a life filled with love, connection, and peace.
At age 18, I met a kind and loving young man who took me to start a new life in England.
Together we built a family: two girls and a boy, just like the one I came from. I finally had the chance to create the home I had longed for as a child.
But it wasn’t easy. I soon realised that I wasn’t functioning well; the pain I had buried was still living inside me, shaping how I mothered, how I showed up, and how I loved.
That realisation marked the beginning of a deep and intentional journey to understand, face, and resolve my childhood wounds with awareness, compassion, and strength.
Our family relocated to Australia; however, my personal transformation resulted in divorce and led me to act in ways that I am not proud of in an effort to "stay true to me" but inconsiderate of the impact on those I love the most.
That realisation became the turning point.
I began the deep, often painful work of healing. Uncovering the subconscious beliefs that had been keeping me stuck and reprogramming the internal messages that were never mine to carry.
I sought therapy, studied, reflected, and grew.
Slowly, I rebuilt myself from the inside out.
I created a remarkable partnership with an extraordinary man who loves all that I am, keeps me grounded and has believed in me more than I have believed in myself.
As I continue to grow and evolve, I am no longer constrained by my past.
I seek to embody love and compassion, and from this place, I am able to walk beside others on their own path of healing.
Now I am here to support those longing for inner peace, purpose, freedom, harmony, and self-trust.
I want to serve as a reminder that, despite the challenges of your past, you can embark on a new journey.
I believe that transformation is possible; I’m living proof of it.
