hi, i’m Liz

I’m a somatic coach + artist living in sunny southern California.

My mission is to help the world become more whole, healed, and well. I’m here to guide heart-centered, passionate people through radical reimagining, intentional integration and energetic evolution so that you can create your most inspired, vibrant life.

My own healing and creative journey is and has been a rollercoaster ride with many ups and downs. I’ve navigated coming to terms with childhood trauma, PTSD, depression, social anxiety, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, toxic relationships, body shame, behavioral addictions and creative block. 

Along the way, I’ve shed many layers and moved through many versions of myself. Before, I was depressed AF, totally burnt out and the queen of avoidance. I used alcohol and weed to numb my way through anxiety, stress and any uncomfortable emotions. My mind was my enemy - I struggled with shame, negative self talk and imposter syndrome. 

Because I believed I needed to earn love and acceptance, my self worth depended on constant people pleasing. I gave away all my energy to friends, to my job - really to anything soul sucking along the way. I was paralyzed by fear. I felt broken and stuck repeating the same patterns. 

I had so much ambition, drive and dreams, but I didn’t know how the F to get there. I had no time, no energy, no motivation and no boundaries. I felt totally lost. Luckily, I had two things: the belief that things can change and community support. 

I spent over a decade of my life seeking healing and well-being through mindfulness, creativity, inner child work, self love and somatic healing. I’ve worked with professionals in therapy and with coaches to reprogram my mind. I became certified in breathwork and meditation.  

Through all this work, I found liberation from limiting beliefs, mental blocks, and emotional baggage that held me back for years. And because of this work, once I finally received my PTSD diagnosis in 2020, it took me a year to reduce my symptoms from dysfunctional to better than ever.

Now I’m more confident, more creative, more consistent, and more authentically myself than I’d EVER felt before. My life is more balanced, more joyful and more aligned. I’m happier and healthier. 

I feel so damn lucky and grateful to work as a coach serving others and following my life-long dream to be a working artist (currently touring an art installation and growing my art shop).  As an artist, I create beauty and art to inspire people. As a coach, I help people discover the beauty and art in themselves, their life and their healing process. 

I have struggled through my own journey. I’ve gone down the path of “I can do it on my own.” I’ve over complicated it, over thought it and felt totally overwhelmed. 

And because I’ve been there, I can tell you that it doesn’t have to be that way. Healing can be simple and joyful. It can be magical and exciting. I want to share that with you! I've changed my whole life to serve others and catalyze their process of becoming, because I KNOW how truly powerful and transformational this work is. 

If you’re interested in working together, if you’re DONE holding yourself back and you’re ready to GROW and LIBERATE your mind, body and soul, I’d love to hear from you.
