About Elizabeth Diane

Founder of Heart’s Mind™ Coaching | Developer of the Theory of Unconscious Response™

Hello — I’m Elizabeth Diane.

My work lives at the intersection of science, intuition, and natural human development. Over 20 years ago, while in deep introspection about life, I watched my mind work to restore my hope in the future. Over time, I learned to rely on this built-in system because it brought the ups and downs of life into logical order.

I remember the moment when, after some thinking about what I saw happening, I realized that the purpose of the system appeared to be to “manufacture” good! Letting this realization lead my life view put me on a path where peace of mind grew. I couldn’t help but share my excitement with others.

Being a writer, I naturally word-smithed a language to describe the phenomenon, one that does not exist anywhere else but rooted in the phenomenon. Through years of observing and testing the phenomenon, I developed the model of the twelve phases. With trepidation, in 2012 I published to describe how I experienced each phase and how they were joined into a system that repeats, over and over.

This work didn’t begin in a lab. It began with life.

Coaching That Respects Your Process

When I coach, I don’t lead with answers. I listen for the phases in your life — the subtle yet reliable signals that show where growth is already happening.

Heart’s Mind™ Coaching invites you to work with your own process, not against it. You don’t need to force transformation. It’s already underway. My role is to help you recognize it, follow it, and apply it where it matters — in your life, work, leadership, or relationships.

We begin with mutual discovery. Not everyone is a fit for this work, and that’s okay. If you’re drawn to it, I trust you’ll know.

We Begin With A Turn Toward Meaning

Our first step isn’t a call to action, it’s a call to attention — to your own sense of meaning, timing, and readiness.
If something in you is stirring, I invite you to begin here:

Start with the heart. Lead with insight into life.

Whenever life disrupts you — emotionally, physically, or spiritually — something in you still moves forward. Even before you understand it, your inner life responds in ways that seemed purposeful. In short, life recovers from its impact and you move on.

Heart’s Mind ™ Coaching is not a motivational pep talk or a “mindset” framework to change your personality. We use the 12 Phases™ to recognize the pattern of development that is intrinsic to you as an organism. It operates like your organs do, keeping you alive. These phases show how we:

• Reclaim our sense of self after disruption

• Realign with what matters

• And organically generate new direction

This theory isn’t something I invented. It’s something I witnessed, learned to describe, and tested across time, roles, and people. I’ve seen it in client transformations, life transitions, and even the quiet, private moments when people find themselves again after feeling lost. It is the power of Nature at work in us.
