Somatimacy Institute

My name is Elizabeth.  I grew up in the same cultural confusion as most of us did.  For as long as I can remember, I was waiting to accumulate knowledge, money, time, love, etc and believed all of this would make me happy.  I felt disconnected from my body, had poor self esteem and felt depressed.  I often remember thinking to myself:  “What's wrong with me?”  I felt extremely lonely and unworthy of love.  Feeling so unhappy prompted me into deep healing and transformation.

I hold a Bachelors degree in Integrative Therapeutic Practices.   I studied anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology as well as nutrition, herbal medicine. I was always fascinated by the miracles of the human body and curious around how to find optimal health as individuals and collective.

My masters degree is in Ecopsychology- the study of the relationship of the human psyche to the planet. I believe that much of our pain can be healed through a recognition and reconnection to the “More then human world”. I weave in Ecopsychology extensively, encouraging my clients to connect to the world around them and see their bodies as aspects of the greater tapestry of life.  

I completed Level 1, 2, 3 and the Sacred Sexual Shamanic Practitioner Training with The International School of Temple Arts (ISTA - www.ISTA.Life). I have assisted several ISTA trainings, acting as a support and guide for people to experience themselves more deeply. I am now apprentice faculty with ISTA and my personal mentors include: KamalaDevi McClure, Crystal Dawn Morris and Bruce Lyon.  

I am continuing to clear my emotional body and come back to a place of acceptance and fluidity with life.  I now see that every being has the potential to be their most glorious, amazing selves. I am committed to assisting others to live a life of joy and love, because I truly feel I have been given a gift in this life.
