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.

Testimonials...

You would not believe how far I’ve come since we last met. My healing started with my first journaling workshop with you. I continued journaling for years and years and then stopped.

I had come to a point in my healing that there was nothing to say. I’ve started journaling again and it is so fulfilling.

PS – Love your newsletter.

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.

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!

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!

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.

I thoroughly enjoyed Elizabeth Welles’ talk on creativity and writing at the Wyly in Basalt. It was so inspiring and full of ‘helpful hints’ that I went home and wrote a page of ideas for future writings.

It involved the audience at every step. It included quotes from her work as well as others about writing techniques, ways to get started, getting teens to write, and using different mediums of writing (computer versus hand).

I have since written in my own journal about just the items that she mentioned in her talk. Listening to her words of wisdom helped me to move forward and believe in my writing.

Thank you Elizabeth for this opportunity.
