Elizabeth Noble was born and raised in Australia, where she completed studies in physiotherapy, philosophy, and anthropology. She was an American Field Service Exchange Student to Tucson, AZ in 1961.
In 1973 after living abroad, she returned to the USA and founded the Section on Women's Health of the American Physical Therapy Association.
Her first book was Essential Exercises for the Childbearing Year, now in a revised 4th edition. After its publication she was invited to create a video with MGM of an exercise program she designed for Marie Osmond during her first pregnancy. Two more books resulted: Marie Osmond's Exercises for Mothers-to-Be, and Marie Osmond's Exercises for Mothers and Babies.
She wrote the first book for expectant parents of multiples, now in its 3rd edition, Having Twins--and More. Her interest in psychology led her to write Primal Connections: How our Experiences from Conception to Birth Influence our Emotions, Behavior and Health and Childbirth with Insight. A fierce advocate for the rights of children, she wrote Having Your Baby by Donor Insemination and The Joy of Being a Boy.
Her decades of presenting seminars, and professional membership in National Speakers Association, honed her interest in communication. Her website, ennobler.net provides resources on international communication issues as does her latest book, Winners Speak Globish.
