Welcome to A Place to Heal and Go Deeper (That Meets Real Life)

Resources and Support for People Seeking Relief from Whatever Weight They Carry

Song Prayers and Healing with Dr. Elizabeth Fulgaro

You deserve to know peace, joy, and love. It’s possible you:

  • Are grieving a child, a marriage, your health, your safety, or the faith that once held you.
  • Have carried shame or self-hatred for so long that it feels more like a fact than a wound.
  • Are a veteran carrying memories and moral injuries the people around you cannot see.
  • Are trying to leave an abusive relationship while wondering how you will afford to live.

This may be a weight you don’t know how to put down.

Or you may not think of yourself as someone who needs healing at all.

You may simply feel there must be more to your relationship with God. Either way, you're in the right place.

 

Praise for the song prayers

Before the study, I was doing great. Did I have a clue there was still this huge hole? I thought I'm good. I'm fine. I'm okay with myself. I've done all this inner healing work. It's like you can do all these things and you still have this void. You're full of love. It's not that I wasn't filled with love or filled with God's love. It's that I wasn't filled with the intimacy of the love God offers. I wasn't seeking that in Him. And through the music...I now see God differently. I think prior to all this, I saw God as a father, a wise counselor, as the healer, the redeemer, but I did not see Him as a love relationship and intimate partner....there was a paradigm shift.

Where You Start Depends on What You're Carrying

Choose your path:

For Healing

For those carrying grief, trauma, abuse, self-hatred, loss, life circumstances or questions that tidy “spiritual” answers don’t touch.

Going Deeper

For those attending church, reading the Bible and doing all the expected things while still feeling the quiet pull toward something more.

For Professionals

For chaplains, professionals, faith leaders, researchers, and organizations looking for thoughtful resources to support the people they serve.

I Know What It Is to Reach the Point Where Trying Harder No Longer Works

I’m Dr. Elizabeth Fulgaro, a human flourishing scholar, practitioner, and advocate.

There was a season when my life stopped working.

I had three small children and a career I had already cut back but still could not keep up with. Messages were stacking up. Proposals were unwritten. Nothing felt settled at home. I remember having eight priorities in one day and not finishing any of them.

Eventually, I stopped pretending I could carry everything. I surrendered my agenda and began listening for the next right step, even when I could not see where the path would lead.

That practice changed my life and became the foundation of my work.

Meet Dr. Elizabeth Fulgaro

For more than twenty years, I have created over 30 song-prayer albums with the same group of musicians. My doctoral research studied how this listening and reflection practice affected women over a 30-day period.

I also bring 45 years of experience in financial planning, including four years as the Northern California Financial Coach for Veterans.

My work brings together music, writing, guided journals, scholarship, spiritual practice, advocacy, and practical financial education.

These parts belong together because human beings do not live in separate boxes. What happens in your heart can affect your relationships, your choices, your health, your money, and the way you see your future.

The goal is not to hand you another answer. It is to offer you a place to pause, listen, and begin recognizing what is true for you.

How to Heal with Dr. Elizabeth Fulgaro

You Don't Have to Keep Carrying This the Same Way

You can keep attending church, going to Bible study, reading more and trying harder, and the thing you're carrying can stay exactly where it is, untouched. Or you can keep pushing down that quiet feeling that there has to be more than this.

Pain doesn't make you bad at your faith. Neither do your questions. What actually causes damage is letting pain you've never looked at, beliefs that were never true, and disappointment with God quietly decide how you see yourself, how you see other people, how you see Him, and what you believe your future can hold.

You deserve an honest place to start. Not another formula or a pretend answer or pressure to say you're fine when you're not. Just somewhere to pause, a different way of seeing it, and a next step you can actually take.

That’s what you’ll find here.

What Happens Through Daily Listening

God is more present to me every day. I don't know when it started. It didn't start right away, but as time went by, it was just like how His presence became more real. How my body felt when I was listening to the songs was like you're running uphill or something, and you're striving, and then you you listen to the music and you go ah, and you feel your body relaxing from the top of the head all the way down to the bottom of your feet, and you just get in. It's like being a cocoon: peacefulness, thankfulness, love.

What can change when you begin the practice?

Sometimes the First Change Is How You See

A friend came to this practice carrying years of wounds and regrets. When she arrived at my home, she would spend the first hour trying to prove she was worth being around by making everyone laugh. I began handing her albums. Later, I taught her to look through the covers and choose one for herself.

When I asked what the music had done, she told me she had been living with her head down, staring at her worries and troubles. The music helped lift her eyes.

She began to see her life from a different perspective. She became more able to trust that God would remain with her and could still bring something beautiful from what she had experienced.

Another woman in my research first listened while commercials and interruptions played. She said the music was fine. Three days later, she listened without commercials. She messaged me from her kitchen and said she had experienced God in a way she never had before. She intended to listen for twenty minutes and remained there for an hour.

A pause does not erase everything that happened but it may create enough quiet for you to notice something you could not hear before.

Your understanding can begin to change. Your relationship with yourself may change. Your connection with God may deepen. Over time, that change can move outward into how you love, choose, speak, and stand beside others.

Your healing matters and you have purpose beyond yourself.

Whether you're carrying grief, trauma, or emotional pain that traditional spiritual answers haven't helped, or you're doing all the expected things in your faith but still longing for a deeper connection, song prayers offer a new way to nurture your spiritual and emotional well-being.
