Liz Long, LMT, RYT is committed to supporting individuals diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorders (FND), incl. psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES). She draws from six years of experience working in the realm of psychosomatic bodywork, focusing on chronic illness (such as lupus, hashimoto's, crohn's) and inflammatory conditions.
Her trauma informed work, keen intuition, love for research, and compassionate yet direct approach, has helped many over the years to find their way out of, the often, challenging experience of body-mind symptomatology.
Liz believes that healing occurs when one activates the wisdom of the mind-body connection. The simple, yet profound approach that she employs provides those seeking improvement in their quality of life a plethora of tools that can be used in the moment when stress occurs.
She values the inherent intelligence that every person carries. She aims to connect clients to their greatest gifts that they already possess through a process of uncovering and strengthening life supporting actions. Through direct experience, education, and collaboration, clients can expect to increase their ability to receive and respond to life in the here and now.
Liz’s beliefs, values, and approach to bodywork emerged over decades of personal experience and study. She has been steeped in philosophy of the western canon and physical science along with the practices of zazen meditation, Hatha yoga, and Yin yoga. Her education includes:
- BA Philosophy and the History of Math and Science - St. John’s College - Santa Fe, NM
