Hello I’m Elizabeth (Liz) Hides, the heart behind Finding Your True North.
My life’s work has been shaped by a deep reverence for the human spirit. Especially in moments of loss, transition, and transformation. In my personal and professional life, I have walked beside people as they navigate death, grief, and the quiet reshaping that follows. These experiences have taught me that beneath every tender story lives a sacred wisdom waiting to be heard, and behind every experience, there is a story of resilience and an unwavering soul that guides us through even the most challenging times.

As a Registered Social Worker, mindfulness and meditation teacher, certified Thanatologist, and Reiki Master-Teacher, and certified life coach my calling has long been to walk beside the bereaved. Supporting individuals through grief, death, and profound life transitions has shaped my professional path and rooted me deeply in compassion, presence, and integrity. And while this work continues to be a vital part of who I am, I began to sense another calling rising; a quiet but powerful invitation to soul-expansion.

That calling became Finding Your True North.

Why I Created This Space

In my own healing journey, while bearing witness to so many others’ stories of suffering, living in an age of noise, external pressures, internal overwhelm and spiritual disconnection. I came to understand that people are longing for something more.
✨ more soul connection,
✨ more meaning,
✨ more guidance,
✨ more ways to reconnect with their own inner knowing.

I felt called to create a space where people can explore their spiritual path, reconnect with their energy, and learn to listen to the compass within without it being therapy, counselling, or clinical work.

A place where soul-wisdom and grounded presence come together.

A place where people can remember and reconnect to spirit.

At Finding Your True North, you are invited to slow down, breathe, and listen to the quiet knowing that lives within you. Through offerings such as Reiki, mindfulness and meditation, and energy-centered gatherings, we explore how timeless practices can bring peace, clarity, and renewal of connection in modern times.

This site is not therapy or counselling.
It is a spiritual and energetic space, to explore the return to your inner compass, your True North the part of you that has always known the way home. While guiding others over the years, I have come to see that true transformation happens when we attend to the body, mind, spirit, and relational interconnection.

My approach and this site are deeply spiritual.
