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.

Ana Liz Ceregatti
(she/her)
Integrative Embodiment Practitioner & Educator
Multidisciplinary Artist
Born and raised in Brazil, Ana Liz has lived in Los Angeles since 2016. She has been on a decade-long journey of exploring the body-mind connection and how we heal and become our most authentic and empowered self. Since a young age, she's been exploring different forms of expression such as visual arts, experimental theater, dance, and Yoga. Her personal practice of self-portraiture has been instrumental in her own healing, and is a significant part of the work she does with clients through the expressive arts.
Ana's growing fascination with the healing power of movement, artistic expression, and mindfulness, ultimately led her to delve into the studies and practice of Body Psychotherapy through Somatics and Movement-Based Expressive Arts Therapy. As a certified Meditation & Mindfulness Teacher and graduate of the Tamalpa Institute's Halprin Life/Art Process®, Ana has extensive training in movement-based expressive arts and somatic meditation, as well as visual arts and theater.
Ana's work with clients is rooted in her personal journey of healing and self-discovery. Her experiences of acute and chronic trauma during her formative years set her on a path of exploration that has included Buddhist and secular meditation and phylosophy, energy healing, movement as medicine, and other modalities.
In the Movement-Based Expressive Arts Therapy, Ana found a framework that supports healing and transformation organically and gently, and became passionate about sharing the work with others in their journey towards self-knowing, self-embracing, and self-embodying.
Ana works with clients privately, and teaches group classes and workshops regularly.
Whether you're struggling with specific challenges, feeling stuck, or simply seeking to deepen your connection to your own body and intuitive wisdom, Ana is here to guide and support you every step of the way.
With her deep compassion, boundless creativity, and embodied listening, she invites you to step into a world of transformative healing and self-discovery, and discover the power of embodiment to help you inhabit the full expression of your Self.

“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, beauty, self-love, and acceptance."
