Meet Elizabeth.
When everything fell apart, I learned the most important lesson: you can't have agency if you don't feel safe.
I'm Elizabeth Huang—certified life coach and founder of Heart on the Rise, where I help people shift from going through the motions to truly living, one meaningful step at a time.
Who I Work With
I support people navigating major transitions, seeking clarity, or feeling stuck in their current season of life. Maybe you're facing a career shift, processing loss, or tired of performing a version of yourself that doesn't feel true anymore.
If that resonates, you're in the right place.
What I Believe
Transformation isn't about fixing yourself. It's about reconnecting with the you beneath all the expectations, the "shoulds," and the stories you've been carrying that were never yours to begin with.
In a society where many of us grew up chasing grades, salaries, and performance, our emotions were often pushed aside. But emotions are vital sources of information and motivation—and few of us were ever taught how to navigate them.
Grief, loss, and transition aren't obstacles to overcome. They're pathways that, when moved through with awareness, lead you toward a more grounded, authentic version of yourself.
How I Work
My coaching is grounded, compassionate, and rooted in emotional wellness. I use somatic practices, trauma- and grief-informed tools, and the Mastery Method to help clients:
Reconnect with themselves and uncover what truly matters
Navigate emotional overwhelm and major life transitions
Move through grief in a way that honors their unique experience
Set clear boundaries and take aligned action
Rebuild confidence and presence in an increasingly digital world
My Background
I hold a BA in Sociology and Creative Writing from UC Riverside.
But more than the credentials, it's my lived experience that informs this work. I've sat in the wreckage of my own life. I've broken down. I've rebuilt.
The Result
People often leave our work feeling more empowered, self-aware, and equipped to create a life that feels authentic—not just acceptable. They reconnect with themselves, find clarity, and take action aligned with who they truly are.
Based in San Jose, CA | Working with clients ready to stop pretending they're fine and start living fully.
