Liz Lauren B • Life of Kintsura
Grounded Presence In An Unsteady World.
Life of Kintsura is run by me, Liz, a mental health coach. Kintsura was inspired by the Japanese art of kintsugi; embracing the belief that the parts of us that have cracked are not weaknesses — they are entry points to deeper wisdom.

Get to Know Me
I’m passionate about helping thoughtful people cultivate greater awareness, groundedness, and intention; particularly in a world that constantly pulls our attention outward. Together, we explore the patterns, beliefs, and habits that keep us feeling stuck or living on autopilot, creating space for a life that feels more aligned with who you truly are.
I hold coaching certificates from Headspace’s Training Institute (HTI) and Healthy Gamer Institute (HGI), and have over 2,000 hours of experience facilitating 1:1 and group coaching.
More than anything, I see coaching as an art. It is the practice of being deeply present with another human being; a collaborative space where curiosity, mindfulness, and honest conversation can lead to meaningful, lasting change.
My Specialties
Philosophy
My Approach
My approach is collaborative, conversational, and deeply individualized.
I often think of coaching as sitting around a campfire with someone—not because I have all the answers, but because some conversations simply unfold differently when there’s enough warmth, curiosity, and space to be honest.
Our first few sessions are usually about getting to know the landscape of your life. Together we’ll explore what brings you here, what’s keeping you feeling stuck, and what patterns might be asking for your attention. From there, we can begin experimenting with practical steps, deepen our understanding of what’s getting in the way, or simply stay with the questions a little longer when that’s what’s needed.
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
My perspective isn’t shaped solely by professional training. It’s also been shaped by living through anxiety, depression, chronic health challenges, adverse experiences, and the transformative role mindfulness and meditation have played in my own life.
While your story will never be the same as mine, I know what it’s like to search for steadiness when life feels uncertain. That lived experience continues to inform the way I show up: with curiosity, compassion, and a deep respect for each person’s unique path.
Testimonials from my amazing clients!
Hi Liz. I know that I am insanely late in saying this but I really wanted to thank you and tell you how much you helped me with your coaching. I think I got paired with the perfect coach. You taught me so much about self-acceptance and what progress means. Hearing that I was not alone in my patterns of isolation was the most healing moment in this whole process. You were the perfect safe space to go to where I felt like I was understood. I hope you are doing well and know that you changed my life.
Liz is very good at meeting me where I am at. She is a very intellectual and caring person and It comes across clearly! This has been a fantastic opportunity to practice being honest and communicate openly for myself and I am grateful for it.
As has been the case for all the sessions, good prep, explained well and my therapist has noticed the improvements in mood since beginning the sessions. So therapist approved ^_^
