My Story
About Breaking Chains
Elizabeth Hoffmann (Liz) – Founder of Breaking Chains LLC
With an Associate’s and Bachelor’s degree in Nursing and 17 years of experience, she has specialized in hospice and forensic nursing. In an effort to find the root causes, I focused on education regarding trauma and its effects on a person's mind, body, and soul. This led my career toward trauma-informed care, holistic healing, and the founding of Breaking Chains.
As an Energy Sound Therapist, I discovered the power of sound frequency therapy after years of seeking healing through traditional methods. This therapy transformed my life and my children’s, helping us release deep-seated trauma. Now, I'm bringing this healing to the Fox Valley so others can break free from patterns that no longer serve them.
Through AO Wellness Scans, I use my medical background to interpret results, offering personalized recommendations to help clients take control of their health and navigate the medical system with confidence.
As a Birth Doula, I support expectant mothers—especially teens and those facing trauma—ensuring they feel heard, empowered, and surrounded by love.
As an End-of-Life Doula, I provide compassionate guidance to individuals and families, creating a peaceful, holistic transition that fosters understanding and healing before loss.
My passion is helping people heal—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—so they can live and transition with peace and dignity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Energy Sound Therapy?
Energy Sound Therapy is a non-invasive healing modality that uses sound frequencies to release emotional blockages, balance energy, and promote overall well-being. By identifying and addressing subconscious patterns that no longer serve you, this therapy helps reduce stress, anxiety, and emotional burdens—allowing for deep healing and personal transformation.
What happens during a Energy Sound Session session?
An Energy Sound Therapy session is a relaxing and intuitive experience designed to release emotional blockages and restore balance. It begins with a brief discussion to identify areas of concern, followed by frequency testing to uncover subconscious patterns. Using sound tools like tuning forks or bowls, specific frequencies are applied to shift energy and promote deep relaxation. Many clients feel lighter, more at peace, and emotionally refreshed.

Based on the results, personalized recommendations can help restore balance, improve vitality, and support optimal health.

What is a Birth Doula and what are the benefits to having one?
A birth doula is a trained professional who provides continuous emotional, physical, and informational support before, during, and after labor. Unlike medical providers, a doula focuses on comfort, advocacy, and empowerment, ensuring a positive and supported birth experience.
Benefits - A birth doula offers emotional support through reassurance, encouragement, and a calming presence. They assist with physical comfort by using pain relief techniques such as breathing exercises, massage, and positioning. They provide evidence-based information to help with informed decision-making and act as an advocate to ensure your birth preferences are communicated with medical providers. Having a doula can also help reduce medical interventions, such as C-sections and epidurals, while promoting a smoother recovery and a more positive postpartum experience. Ultimately, a birth doula helps create a supportive and empowering birth journey where you feel heard, respected, and cared for.
