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.​

“I'VE STRUGGLED ALL MY LIFE WITH BEING DISCONNECTED FROM MY BODY AND HAVING NEGATIVE BODY IMAGE. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT WORK I CAN DO. ANA LIZ IS GENTLE, WHILE CHALLENGING ME TO GO DEEPER. SHE HAS INCREDIBLE INTUITION AND SEEMS TO ALWAYS KNOW WHAT I NEED AND WHAT I WANT TO EXPRESS EVEN WHEN I FEEL I AM NOT BEING CLEAR. SHE MAKES ME FEEL SEEN, HEARD, RESPECTED, AND VALUED. HER KNOWLEDGE IS CLEAR AND HER BELIEF IN THE POWER OF THIS WORK COMES THROUGH. I AM GRATEFUL FOR ANA LIZ'S WISDOM AND SUPPORT ON THIS JOURNEY TO BECOME WHOLE AGAIN."
— Danielle J, Los Angeles
“IT WIDLY EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS! THIS WORK IS A SALVATION. IT HELPED ME REVISIT ISSUES I TEND TO AVOID. IT HELPED ME EXPLORE MY SELF-IMAGE IN A WAY THAT WAS IMPORTANT FOR ME TO SEE. TO BE IN A JUDGMENT-FREE SPACE AND TOUCH ON SUCH DEEP SUBJECTS WAS BEAUTIFUL. TO EXPLORE ONE'S SELF WITH FREEDOM AND NO FEAR OF THE UGLY IS, IN FACT, VERY BEAUTIFUL. I AM LEARNING THAT FREEDOM IS ABOUT HOW I FEEL IN MY BODY AND WITH MYSELF. IT WAS AN INCREDIBLY POTENT SPACE, AND I FELT SURPRISINGLY COMFORTABLE AROUND WOMEN I DIDN'T KNOW."
— Barbara A, Los Angeles
“YOU NEED TO EXPERIENCE THIS WORK, IT'S HARD TO DESCRIBE. I AM JOLTED INTO MY BODY IN A WAY THAT FEELS SAFE AND GENTLE. I FEEL MY EMOTIONS AS MY MIND QUIETS AND MY TRUE SELF STEPS FORWARD. PRESENT WITH MY BODY, I FEEL DEEP SADNESS FOR THE YEARS I HAVEN'T SPENT IN IT, BUT ALSO TRUST AND ACCEPTANCE. THE MOST UNEXPECTED OUTCOMES FROM THESE SESSIONS HAS BEEN THE ABSOLUTE JOY AND EUPHORIA I FEEL IN THE MOMENT. IT'S AS IF MY SOUL AND BODY ARE DANCING TOGETHER AND RECOGNIZING WHY THEY CHOSE EACH OTHER FOR THIS INCREDIBLE LIFE."
— Shivi Z, Los Angeles
"I GREW UP IN A CULTURE THAT EXPECTS CONVENIENCE NOT CONNECTION FROM CHILDREN. I REMEMBER RESTRICTING MY MOVEMENTS NOT TO BE CORRECTED WITH JUDGMENT AND SHAME. I LEARNED THAT MY BODY WAS MEANT FOR CRITICISM, NOT LOVE. THIS HAS SHAPED EVERY DECISION, SITUATIONS, AND OUTCOMES IN MY LIFE. IN MY HEALING JOURNEY, I FOUND THAT THE HARDEST YET MOST SIGNIFICANT STEP IS TO SHOW UP FOR MY BODY WITH LOVE - TO LOVE THIS BODY THAT HAS PROTECTED ME FROM NOT ONLY JUDGMENT AND SHAME OF OTHERS, BUT FROM SELF-HATRED TOO."
— Shivi Z, Los Angeles
“IT WAS LIBERATING AND HELPED ME FIND ANSWERS WITHIN MYSELF ABOUT HOW I AM APPROACHING SITUATIONS IN MY LIFE AND HOW IT MAKES ME FEEL. IT WAS FUN, AND I FELT A SENSE OF COMMUNITY THAT IS NOT EASILY ACHIEVED IN JUST ONE SESSION. I'VE BEEN HOLDING ANA'S INVITATION TO TAKE UP SPACE AND LISTENING MORE TO WHAT MY BODY NEEDS."
— Isabel S, Los Angeles
"IT HELPED ME RELEASE A LOT OF PENT UP EMOTIONS AND STAY IN THE PRESENT MOMENT NOT JUST IN THE SESSION BUT FOR DAYS AFTER. I MOST APPRECIATED HOW SAFE IT FELT FOR EVERYONE TO TAKE WHAT THEY NEEDED AND BE AS IMMERSED IN IT AS THEY WANTED TO BE. IT MADE ME WANT TO TAKE UP MORE SPACE IN MY DAILY LIFE."
— Nikki P, Los Angeles
“I CAME TO SOME DEEP REALIZATIONS AFTER THE SESSION. BEING WITH WOMEN AND MOVING TOGETHER WAS POWERFUL. I APPRECIATED LISTENING TO EVERYONE'S EXPERIENCES AND HOW I WAS ABLE TO LET GO OF SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS AND BE PRESENT WITH MY BODY, MIND, AND FEELINGS."
— Christine S, Los Angeles
"I CAME TO ANA TO SEE IF HER CLASS MIGHT HELP WITH ANXIETY AND PANIC. I'VE BEEN A DANCER FOR 20+ YEARS AND HER CLASS WAS ONE OF THE BEST EVER. SHE HAS A SPECIAL WAY OF CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT THAT CULTIVATES SO MUCH SAFETY AND SUPPORT. WHILE GENTLY GUIDING ME THROUGH EACH MOMENT, SHE HELD SPACE FOR MY MOST POWERFUL SELF TO OPEN AND EXPAND."
— Chanel M, Los Angeles
“ANA IS SUCH A WONDERFUL EMBODIMENT GUIDE. SHE HAS A REAL GIFT OF GENTLY GUIDING ME INTO SELF-CONNECTION IN A WAY THAT DOESN'T FEEL PUSHY AND ALLOWS ME TO CONNECT TO MY INTUITION. SHE CREATES SPACES THAT FEEL COMFORTABLE, SAFE, AND LOVING. IT'S A GIFT FOR EVERYBODY."
— Danielle M, Los Angeles
"ANA IS TRULY AN AMAZING TEACHER AND GUIDE. I'M NEW TO MEDITATING, AND SHE TOOK ME ON A MAGICAL JOURNEY THAT HELPED ME CALM ANXIETY ABOUT UPCOMING CHANGES IN MY LIFE. SHE GAVE ME REAL-WORLD TOOLS THAT I USE IN MY DAILY LIFE. ANA'S CALM NATURE AND OPEN HEART MAKES HER CLASSES INCLUSIVE AND HEALING. COULDN'T RECOMMEND HER MORE!"
— Stephanie V, Los Angeles
“ANA'S ABILITY TO HOLD SPACE IS INCREDIBLE. SHE REALLY CARES ABOUT HER CLIENTS AND HER CRAFT. SHE MAKES ME FEEL SAFE, COMFORTABLE, AND LISTENED TO. WHEN I FEEL OVERWHELMED AND OUT OF ALIGNMENT, I LEAVE OUR SESSION FEELING CALM AND REJUVENATED. SHE HAS THE ABILITY TO AWAKEN DIFFERENT PARTS OF ME."
— Ciara R, Los Angeles
"MEDITATION PRACTICE WITH ANA HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN INCORPORATING OVERALL WELLNESS INTO MY WEEK. ANA GUIDES AND INSPIRES ME TO UNPLUG, DECOMPRESS, AND CENTER MYSELF. I AM AMAZED AT HER ABILITY TO ALLOW FOR SELF-EXPRESSION WITHIN EVEN A VIRTUAL SPACE. SO GRATEFUL TO HAVE FOUND ANA LIZ."
— Marla M, Los Angeles
