about
Elisa Tidswell is the originator of the Coherent Power Framework,
Founder of The Field, and faculty coach at Mindvalley.
Her work addresses the hidden conflict between the survival patterns that shape us and the inherent nobility of who we are –
restoring the clarity and authority to live, lead, and contribute fully.
She has worked with over 2,000 leaders and professionals worldwide.
a different starting point
Elisa Tidswell is a specialist in the architecture of human development.
Where most personal development treats spirituality as a “life category” – a side note to health or career – Elisa treats it as foundational.
Human beings are inherently noble. Our potential is unlimited.
By integrating this spiritual reality with a scientific understanding of how we are wired, Elisa’s work maps how survival patterns come to organise our identity – and how we move beyond them.
When life doesn’t match what you believe
The origin of the work
Elisa didn’t arrive at this work through theory.
She grew up in two worlds: a typical working-class town in South Essex, and the Bahá’í Faith.
On one side, limited opportunities, education and prospects –
and a culture that socially penalised those who sought to move beyond it.
On the other, a culturally diverse, visionary community
and deeply held belief that human beings are inherently noble,
capable of far more than they often live.
While she believed the latter to be true, as an adult, her life didn’t reflect it –
she found herself in abusive relationships, circled financial ceilings in her businesses,
with an internal voice that constantly whispered what a failure she was.
She was highly functional, capable, and intelligent –
but trapped inside an internal structure that contradicted her essence.
the inquiry
The shift occurred shortly after her daughter was born.
Looking at her, Elisa had a single, clear thought:
How do I stop her from going through what I did?
The answer was immediate:
“You have to change.”
What began as a personal necessity turned into seven years of intensive study, training, practice and experimentation across psychology, neuroscience, somatics and spirituality.
Elisa sought out the best in the industry to be coached herself, trained in multiple modalities, and tested these tools across thousands of hours with clients.
Through this work, she began to recognise a recurring pattern:
high-performers weren’t limited by their potential, but by a sophisticated set of survival defences they had mistaken for their own identity.
By bringing together the common threads across psychology, neuroscience, physiology and somatics, she saw the fundamental gap: the industry was ignoring the foundational reality of being human.
The Coherent Power Framework is the result of that synthesis – a bridge between the mechanics of survival and our inherent nature.
