Loving Life after Near-Death: Why Miracles Take Work with Elizabeth Stauder

What does it mean to heal at the root—not just to feel better, but to become whole again? In this deeply resonant episode, I sit down with Elizabeth Stauder—somatic transformation coach, quantum healing guide, and fellow rebel soul—to explore what it means to return to the wisdom of the body, to grieve and awaken simultaneously, and to walk the long road of self-healing with curiosity and courage. Elizabeth’s story is not linear—and that’s exactly what makes it powerful. From navigating a life-altering autoimmune flare triggered by a vaccine injury, to unraveling inherited trauma and spiritual identity, she brings a nuanced and integrative perspective to healing that is as gentle as it is fierce. We talk about the nervous system, ancestral wounds, and quantum healing—and somehow it all weaves into a single thread: your body knows the way back to you. If you’ve ever felt like your healing journey is “too much” or wondered if anyone else could truly hold your bigness—this one is for you.

After nearly dying from a vaccine injury and spending months battling to restore her body & psyche from chronic disability and illness, she now understands viscerally the power that embodiment has in the awakening process. In her online community, Body & Soul Sanctuary, Elizabeth teaches the art and practice of Somatic Alchemy, whereby symptoms of trauma and dis-ease can be transmuted through the metamorphosis process into the fertile realization of dharma.
