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 is a brilliant somatic practitioner that perfectly balances gentle guidance, affirming insights, and encouraging pushes. The work of getting into your body can have a clumsy start, but she normalizes all the ups and downs of reintegrating the physical, emotional, and spiritual body. It's work that is best experienced versus described and I think everyone should explore it, especially with such an open-hearted and knowledgable practitioner."

"In our work together, l felt both challenged and supported, guided towards new insights and yet given so much space to explore what was there for me. By harnessing the power of human creativity, we worked together to explore my subconscious thoughts and beliefs, and it was through revealing these unknowns that I feel more equipped to handle certain challenges in my life. I cannot recommend Ana Liz and her methodology enough."

— Ercoli Crugnale, Los Angeles
"Ana is so gentle and supportive in her approach. The space she offers for me to be me and work through my fears with zero pressure means so much to me. It is amazing how we come from different cultures and ages and are able to connect in a very deep and special way. My intentions for this work are being met beyond all my expectations. It’s helping me learn about patterns I’d been following without awareness, and helping me break them and live a more peaceful life. I love myself more and am less judgmental of myself and others. The breakthroughs I’ve experience were so enlightening and brought hope and light to my life and the coming years."

"Each session with Ana is super empowering, and each has been a journey of breakthroughs and discovery. I’ve gained more trust and respect for myself, together with the re-ability to express myself through creative arts. Above all, I appreciate Ana’s wisdom and knowledge of how to guide me through each and every situation. I feel more confident in my physical body, I am re-learning to be in tune and trust my intuition, and to listen to my emotional body. I am re-discovering connection to my self, and I believe that this is the most important work one can do to aid in the process of growth and healing."

"Through my 1:1 work with Ana, I’ve discovered an acute awareness of my body in relationship to stress and my emotional well-being. Sticking to the sessions is surprising to me, and I’ve realized how important they are in helping me learn about myself in a very healthy and unique way. I’ve learned to better manage stress and prioritize my needs. I appreciate how Ana challenges while supporting me. I’ve found that my hurt is deep, which gave me perspective and a new sense of resiliency as I continue to work on self-acceptance and self-love. Ana has great flexibility, patience, and an organic way of being that makes session feel supportive. She has great awareness of how things connect and offers the best techniques and practices to help me reach my goals and open awareness towards the things I am working through.”

“Following my first 1:1 with Ana, I felt my mind and body getting closer together, closer to merging. With her guidance, I gained awareness of different parts of my body, became more aware of my posture, and learned to adjust it in a way that made me feel more relaxed and present. I felt good, like I was able to focus. I realized that I constantly discard myself, and this awareness helped me realize my value. I also realized I like to make art! I reaffirmed my value through writing, drawing, and movement. I’m more talented than I thought, and more intuitive. Working with Ana was fun, supportive, and safe. If you surrender to the process you can get a lot out of it and learn more about yourself. I felt that the world is big, I am small, but I have a natural place in it.”

​“As someone who has struggled with negative body image and disconnection from my body my whole life, this work is the most important I can do. Ana Liz expertly balances gentleness with challenging me to go deeper, and her intuitive understanding of my needs and expression makes me feel seen and supported. I am so grateful for her guidance and wisdom as I walk the path back to wholeness."

“It wildly exceeded my expectations! This work is a salvation. It helped me revisit issues I tend to avoid, and explore my self-image in a way that was important for me. To be in a judgment-free space while touching on such deep subjects was beautiful. To explore myself with freedom and no fear of the ugly was very beautiful. I am learning that freedom is about how I feel in my body and with myself. It was an incredibly potent space."

Deep Sensual Embodiment Workshop
Embodying the Dark Goddess Workshop
"The Embodying the Dark Goddess workshop created a pathway for me to explore and integrate aspects of myself that I would otherwise not get to meet/know. I was gently and expertly introduced to the dark goddess within and guided to explore, interact, learn from, and dance with her. What made this experience even more powerful was the collective energy and presence of sisterhood. It helped me unlock wisdom, discover parts of myself, and build sacred trust within me."

"Ana's workshop exceeded my expectations! It was empowering seeing such a diverse group come together and unite their dark and light attributes. Truly transformational! It was so fun getting to move, release, draw, write and just be my full expression without any judgement. It was beautiful to honor the good, the bad and the ugly all together. I am recommending this to everyone!"
​
- Sofie Katz, LA
“I’ve felt so powerful since the workshop, even amidst some challenges. It helped me come back to myself in a way, realizing how I simultaneously feel like I am too much and not enough. Ana creates a very safe space with her presence, voice, and encouragement. I am usually shy being vulnerable around strangers, but there I felt at ease! The work had a very positive impact on me. I’ve noticed that I’ve been conscious of not shrinking myself, and feeling more aligned with my vision to empower others. This is such a valuable and beautiful practice, and I absolutely recommend it to all women, and especially those struggling to find their voice, who find themselves still playing it small, and feel trapped within themselves by patriarchal conditioning.”

“It was so well structured and fun! It helped me to get clarity on certain aspects of my life. Ana Liz creates this safe space without judgments, and the experience was very impressive. I loved letting my body guide my movements and feel the emotions move through me. I really want to continue practicing. I felt good and it helped me in my relationship with my body. It was a perfect way to reconnect with myself, my body, and my emotions. Ana’s vibes made the experience even better! She knows what she is doing.”

“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 Zaffiri, LA

"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 Zaffiri, LA
“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."
​

"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."
