about liz

Hi folks! I’m Liz.

I’m a Bay Area-based healing arts practitioner, facilitator, and intuitive educator, whose goal is to create more trauma-informed spaces for folks to explore feeling comfortable and easeful in their bodies, to practice resting, so they can begin to trust themselves and their innate healing capabilities.

I believe every body knows what it needs to feel whole, to heal, and to feel at ease and that oftentimes, we need to move slowly to unwind, make space, and pause to reconnect with those feelings. I believe community gatherings to be a healing salve and trauma-informed space holding to be foundationally important for healing to happen. I believe our bodies are always trying to come home to themselves.

As a self-proclaimed “Recovering Type A,” who knows burnout intimately, I find slowness, and rest as antidotes that encourage the flow of our innate intuition. Most of my work is informed and shaped by the intention of integrating one’s mind, body, and spirit through gentle practices of mindful movement, somatic exploration, conscious breathwork, subtle energy work, and rest-based practices.

When I’m not nerding out about how our bodies are our greatest teachers, I’m spending time with my rescue pup Landon, eating delicious food, reading, and planning my next traveling adventure.

If you’re looking for practices and a safe space to realign with your divine sovereignty, reset your nervous system, and reconnect with your inner working, I would love to work with you.

Whether it be 1:1, in class, a workshop, or on retreat; whether it be speaking on a panel or sharing a corporate wellness offering, there are many ways we can create space to unwind, decompress, and nourish ourselves and I’d be happy to co-create that space with you.
