Elizabeth Boisson

Elizabeth Boisson is the President & Co-Founder of Helping Parents Heal. She has four beautiful children, two of whom are in spirit: Chelsea who passed when she was 2 days old, and Morgan who transitioned at the Base Camp of Mount Everest in Tibet while on a university exchange program when he was almost 21 years old. She also has two daughters: Alix, b.1992, and Christine, b.1995.

On October 20, 2009, while Morgan was undergoing CPR on Mount Everest, Elizabeth asked his roommate to put his phone up to Morgan’s ear. While speaking to her son, she felt him hug her from the inside. It was at that moment that she realized that love lives forever. A week later, Elizabeth started a Facebook support group. In March 2012, with Mark Ireland, she created the nonprofit support group Helping Parents Heal, which currently has over 200 affiliate groups, 36 Caring Listeners who speak eleven different languages, and almost 25,000 members throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, the United Kingdom, Norway, Sweden, South Africa, United Arab Emirates, India, Australia and New Zealand.

Elizabeth spent several years in New Delhi, India while in middle school, high school and college and then 15 years in France. She did both her undergraduate & graduate studies and taught at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, as well as at the Université Paul Valéry in Montpellier, France. She is a certified yoga instructor and teaches healing yoga.
