Elizabeth Webb, founder and CEO of La Vida Femme, is regarded as New York’s premiere Lifestyle & Relationship Coach. Dubbed “Lady E” by her clients, Elizabeth specializes in helping women attract and build luscious, radiant, fabulous relationships!

She has helped a Hollywood starlet go from steadily single to blissfully engaged, an A-list musician turn around her people-pleasing pattern and learn to receive, and a New York socialite shed her shackles and awaken her true self .
