My name is Liz van Ophem, and I created Crystal Creedence. I was always the girl who brought rocks home because I thought they were pretty. I used to keep crystals in my pockets and sleep with them even at a young age. I have always been drawn to their energy.

Jewelry with crystals has always been a big part of my life. I then started collecting mineral specimens for my home. Once when I unwrapped a specimen I just purchased I felt an electrical current go straight up my arm. My hand was vibrating I was in shock and thought what just happened? I picked it up again and still felt the energy from the crystal. My body was vibrating. I looked up what just happened to me and found out it is called “a crystal awakening.” The crystal was an Azurite. I then started feeling the energy from other crystals as well. After that experience I wanted to learn everything I could about crystals. When I read about crystal healing, it resonated so strongly with me. It just felt right. I then studied and became a certified crystal healer in 2019. I received my certification from the Centre of Excellence, I have also studied under Ashley Leavey and Hibiscus Moon. I am also a member of the Niagara Geological Society. I love learning more everyday, and am in the process of becoming a Gemologist. I have a degree in psychology and worked in the field of sleep for over 25 years. The workplace environment changed and I realized I needed to leave and find my own path. So I took a leap of faith and started my own business.
