“I feel much more connected and aware. I am listening to my body more deeply, and making small changes (like a few deep breaths in between google meets) to help my body feel more grounded and nourished”.
— Meghan from Toronto, Canada
“I have gained insight into how my emotions show up and manifest in my body. This has greatly helped me to see the effects that situations have in a new and different way than I have in the past. I feel I am more in touch with my body as a result of taking the program.. This program taught me how to get in touch with myself on a deeper level through the fostering of practices that are simple to grasp and put in place on my own. Thank you Liz your love and care shows in everything that you do and I have deep gratitude for you and the work you do.”
