Hi, I’m Liz (she/her), a Bay Area-based healing arts practitioner, intuitive educator, and somatic guide. My work is rooted in trauma-informed care, nervous system regulation, and honoring the sacred lineages of the practices I share, specifically Reiki, which I offer with deep reverence for its Japanese origins, not the Westernized versions often disconnected from context or relationship.
I create spaces that invite people to slow down, soften, and come home to themselves—body, mind, spirit, and soul. Through somatic healing, energy work, rest-based practices, and intentional space holding, I support folks in reconnecting with their inner wisdom, reclaiming their rhythms, and feeling safe in their bodies again.
I believe healing isn’t something you have to hustle for. It’s a remembering. A returning. Every body deserves access to care that feels honoring, not extractive. I’m not here to fix you. I’m here to hold space, walk alongside you, and support you in re-rooting into your own wholeness.
Whether we’re in session, in class, on retreat, or in community together, I’m here to co-create a space where rest is sacred, sovereignty is remembered, and healing feels like something you get to do—on your own terms, in your own time.
Hi folks! I’m Liz.
A Note on Capacity + Care
As someone living with chronic illness and disabilities: PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) and ADHD, my practice is shaped by an understanding of how cyclical, nonlinear, and tender healing can be.
I move in rhythm with my own body’s fluctuations, and I strive to live what I teach: listening inward, honoring boundaries, and choosing rest when its needed.
At times, this may mean rescheduling sessions or adjusting my availability to prioritize regulation and care. I know this can be frustrating, and I’m committed to clear, compassionate communication when changes arise.
My hope is that our working relationship is built on mutual respect, spaciousness, transparency, and flexibility - foundations in all of my offerings. If you need high consistency in your care, I invite you to reach out before booking to ensure it feels like a supportive fit.
Thank you for being here. Thank you for honoring the real, human rhythms this work (and life) requires.
