In this episode of Cura Medicina, host Derek sits down with Elisabeth, founder of the Beacon, NY wellness space Gift Me Soul, to explore her profound journey of transformation. Elisabeth shares how facing major life shifts—including a divorce and navigating her mother’s late-stage Alzheimer’s diagnosis—led her from a high-speed corporate retail career in Manhattan to plant medicine.
She opens up about her initial plant medicine journeys, in which she reconnected with her ancestors to heal intergenerational patterns, unpacked feelings of unworthiness, and learned how the medicine provided the emotional resilience needed to support her mother with grace.
Elisabeth also discusses stepping into the role of an apprentice under her late shamama, honoring lineage, and bridging her professional background and spiritual practice by launching Gift Me Soul and offering modalities such as the Morpheus Journey Lounge Chair.
