A Creative Approach Towards Self-Healing, Wholeness & Freedom
A Creative Approach Towards Self-Healing, Wholeness & Freedom
Self-Healing is a recovery process from psychological and emotional wounds, motivated and guided by a person's own inner wisdom. To facilitate that, I bring together the expressive arts, meditation practices, and community to promote holistic healing, consciousness expansion, and embodied experience.

In inviting a relationship between the conscious and the unconscious mind, we create space for memories and emotions stored in the body and below the surface of consciousness to rise into awareness. That way, we can explore and process them in creative ways, in the present moment's safety.
​
Each person is unique, as we are all shaped by our personal experiences. They leave in us a series of imprints from which we form our identities and narratives. So imagine that there is an entire universe within you. A universe that is particular and mostly unknown. Wouldn't it be amazing to explore its landscapes, its inhabitants, and everything else that constitutes it? That's what I am inviting you to do: travel inwards to get to know yourself intimately, allowing the journey to transform you in ways yet unknown.​

Come home to your power
It's time to stop trying to fix yourself and embody your true essence, expression, and power.
It's time to meet the depths of your being and become free to soar.

ABOUT
Ana Liz Ceregatti
Hey!
I'm so glad you're here.
I am Somatic Movement Therapist, Educator, artist, and performer from Brazil, based in Los Angeles for the past nine years.
My journey into the intersection of art and healing spans over 15 years and has been deeply shaped by personal healing, creative exploration, and a commitment to social justice.
Growing up, I found myself immersed in art in its many forms. Later, during my own therapeutic journey, I discovered Movement-Based Expressive Arts and recognized my calling. Somatic embodiment, artistic expression, and Mindfulness practices became my pathway to understanding the body’s innate wisdom and its role in healing. I uncovered a passion for supporting others in reconnecting with their bodies to access the resources available within them.
​
My personal experiences navigating trauma and, more recently, a breast cancer diagnosis in 2023, have deeply informed my approach. Staying connected with my body through somatic arts practices during my healing journey, including chemotherapy and surgery, deepened my trust in the body as my home and wellspring of resources and possibilities. These challenges have further strengthened my understanding of what it takes to support ourselves through unexpected life turns, and my ability to guide individuals through transitions, health-related or otherwise.
​
My work is rooted in themes of identity, gender, and cultural humility, honoring diverse lived experiences across gender, race, and class. As a Brazilian immigrant and a member of the Latina diaspora in LA, I find particular joy in working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. I’ve had the privilege of supporting underserved communities through programs like Moving Forward: Healing Through the Body, the Arts, and Community, offered to women of color navigating breast cancer; and expressive arts workshops for at-risk teen girls. I have also had the honor of assisting Daria Halprin at Esalen Institute in 2023.
​
My work is grounded on my training as a Tamalpa Life/Art Process® practitioner (Somatic Movement-Based Expressive Arts), my background in visual arts, experimental theater, and meditation and mindfulness (secular and Buddhist-based); and my personal and continuing studies in trauma healing, parts work (IFS-informed), Yoga, feminism, and psychoanalysis. I have taught creative embodiment through practices of mindfulness, somatic movement, and expressive arts since 2018, both in Los Angeles and online.
​
My practice is inclusive of all genders, sexual orientations, body abilities, and cultural backgrounds, with a particular focus on supporting women.
​
In my sessions, both with private clients and groups, I create spaces for slowing down, turning inward, and listening deeply—to yourself, to others, and to the world around you, uncovering the stories that shape our experiences, honoring the reality of where you are now, and exploring pathways toward healing, growth, and more freedom and well-being. My intention is to guide you to discover and embrace your body as the profound source of resources, aliveness, and transformation that it is.
"ANA LIZ HAS A BEAUTIFUL IMMERSIVE QUALITY, BOTH IN HER MOVEMENT PRACTICE AND IN HER ART-MAKING PROCESS. SUCH OPEN VULNERABILITY ENCOURAGES BOTH THOSE WHO WITNESS HER, AND THOSE WHO WORK WITH HER, NOT ONLY TO BRAVE THE SHADOW SIDE OF THEMSELVES, BUT TO EMBRACE THE HEIGHTS OF JOY, SELF-LOVE, BEAUTY, AND ACCEPTANCE."
