About me
Hi, I’m Liz.
For over a decade, I’ve lived across borders—geographic, cultural, and internal—moving between identities, paradigms, and ways of being. Like many of the people I work with, my path has been shaped by chronic illness, childhood trauma, and a persistent longing for something more whole, more connected, and more alive.
I came to yoga seeking relief from physical pain, but it quickly became something far deeper. Breathwork, meditation, and altered states of consciousness opened doorways into the inner terrain; places of memory, meaning, and wisdom that the body holds. Over time, I realized that healing is not a linear process, but a spiraling return to relationship: with the body, with the Earth, with spirit, and with one another.
For many years, I trained and worked as a clinical therapist within licensed systems of care. Stepping away from that role was not a rejection of therapy, but a reclamation of its essence. I no longer practice within a medicalized clinical model, choosing instead to offer relational, holistic, and person-centered support that honors the complexity of healing and the intelligence of the whole person as a Psychedelic Yoga Therapist.
My work is grounded in respect, consent, and deep listening. I walk alongside people who are navigating chronic illness, burnout, and existential or spiritual exhaustion. With those who sense that healing is not about fixing, but about restoring relationship and remembering who we are.

Approach
My approach is person-centered and relational. I weave together the best available science with the ancient wisdom of yoga, plant medicine, somatic practices, and energy work. This can include yoga therapy, Reiki, meditation, breathwork, and other body-based approaches, but the foundation is always the relationship. If you don’t feel safe, seen, and attuned with me, the work won’t land. Because of this, I don’t offer a rigid “this is what a session looks like” model. Each session is responsive, holistic, and shaped by who you are and what’s emerging.
Sessions often include a blend of reflective dialogue—processing experiences, making meaning, exploring shadow or blind spots—alongside somatic and energetic work. This might look like guided somatic exercises, meditation, Reiki, or working with body-based cues that arise in the moment and are explored together.
Outside of sessions, I ask clients to engage in supportive practices, particularly therapeutic yoga. This does not need to be physically demanding or even asana-focused (though gentle movement is often encouraged). Practices may include breathwork, yoga nidra, meditation, cleansing or nervous-system regulation practices, philosophical inquiry, or a tailored combination that fits your capacity, health, and intentions.
Psychedelics are non-specific amplifiers: they increase neural plasticity and strengthen activity-dependent rewiring. In practice, this means that set, setting, and integration matter enormously. For that reason, my work takes a deeply holistic approach to both preparation and integration, whether someone is engaging with microdosing, macrodosing, or other plant medicines or allies.
The frequency and number of sessions are collaborative and intention-led. I offer a few structured programs and packages, as well as sliding-scale options, to make it easier to begin while honoring different access needs.
