"When I met with Elizabeth, I was blocked creatively, overwhelmed by to-do lists and responsibilities. All I said to her was, ‘I need help feeling creative again. I’m burned out.’ From that wonderful session with her sprang forth a wealth of creative ideas. I put to use the suggestions she had to enhance my creative writing space, and things to do to nourish my spirit. The creative spurt has not halted, thank goodness. I thank Elizabeth." –Shy person requesting anonymity

About Me

I’m Wendy-Elizabeth Welles Shapiro, best known as Elizabeth Welles, a writer, storyteller, and teacher who believes in the power of stories to heal, uplift, and connect us.

From New York to Los Angeles, to sacred circles in India, Nepal, and beyond, my journey has shown me that creativity and healing walk hand in hand. Through writing, storytelling, meditation, and teaching, I’ve helped others discover their authentic voices, embrace compassion, and create with freedom.

My work is dedicated to love, connection, and peace—because every story matters, and every vision and voice carries the power to inspire and create new possibilities.

I am the author of Journaling for Well-Being & Peace, and author-editor of Women Celebrate: The Gift in Every Moment, numerous meditations, articles, one-woman shows, and the creator of Luminous Vision Art.

Kind words

Elizabeth provided me with concrete tools to ease me through a period of grief and loss. Her letter writing idea- one of many useful, soulful techniques – helped me to heal a hurting heart and go forward with my life with more joy and connectedness to my creative self.

She really knows how to listen and can accomplish small miracles in even one session.

Jenny Phelps, Librarian

Thank you again for the inspiration to begin anew at journaling and for providing very powerful techniques to motivate the process.

I have been writing! And it has helped mellow the emotions so that other ideas can flow, just as you said it would happen. I loved the “magic box of words” and the “letters to yourself” and the “starting point of the present” that really does get you started!

I have already told several people about the workshop and have sent them to your website. Thank you again, Elizabeth. I got a lot out of it!

Joy Bell, workshop participant, Tempe, AZ

Elizabeth combines a compassion for people with a true gift for healing that is rare to find.

Richard Lipton, Television Producer

Elizabeth conducts tailored individual and group sessions and people who work with her rave about her. I am one. In just one session, she was able to improve my interview performance significantly. I know the agency world, and I believe any agency could benefit from having someone like Elizabeth available.

However, there is only one Elizabeth. Her perceptiveness, creativity, articulateness and especially her intuitive sensibility set her apart.

Stuart A. Cowan,

Executive Consultant

Elizabeth’s lifetime experience of journaling is inspiring! Her presentation reminded me of the capacity of journaling to reveal soul’s purpose, the soul’s deepest longing to be of service. A delightful evening!

Rita Marsh, Carbondale, CO. Davi Nikent Center for Human Flourishin

Elizabeth Welles is more than a healer. She’s an inspiration. She invoked my creativity, which I feared had seen its day. She empowers, inspires and encourages. Thank you for reminding me, I am an artist.
