About Liz
“
I have been on this path for a few decades. The teachings never end. I am grateful for all the lessons, have awareness of my triggers, and now I can look at them as blessings because they are all teachable moments. I live each day expressing myself authentically and feel healthy and right where I am supposed to be.
Today, it is my greatest joy to share my learnings with my clients as a Mentor and Intuitive Empath.
Choosing a person to support you on your healing journey is deeply personal. Let me share a little of my own story so that you might know if I’m the right Mentor for you.
Growing up a first-generation Portuguese American, I felt challenged in how to define myself. I was an adult before the legal age, having to go to doctor appointments to help translate and make some serious health-related decisions for others. I felt I had to work harder to fit in yet try not to lose myself. It was difficult embracing both cultures without losing myself in one more than the other.
In my struggles of trying to find my place and fitting in, I began to recognize how sensitive and intuitive I was. I was always looking outside myself for validation or to find my place when truly, once I started to meditate and connect inward, I had the clarity INSIDE to my path in life and a better understanding of the truth of who I AM.
I have the ability to sense people’s true being.
People, children, and animals always gravitated toward me. I am a very compassionate and honest person with a keen sense of others’ emotions and feelings. My family, friends, and coworkers often reach out to me for healing or spiritual guidance along with herbal recommendations.
Even at a very young age, I would experience what someone was feeling on a physical and emotional level but also on a deeper spiritual level; I could see/sense something deeper within their true being. I would know what to say or how to say something that would shift their perspective or energy.
People always tell me how they feel so much better just speaking with me or being around me.
I help others connect to their inner knowing and truth as well as the world around them
I love the traditions I was raised in. Mother Mary was always present in my life with my Portuguese upbringing and our pilgrimages to Fatima. As my love and devotion deepened, so did my connection and messages from above. I was led to start sharing my experiences, so others can be inspired to find their truth and inner beauty, to know that there is something more, something greater right within us. To go deeper into the heart to bring healing, find peace, and to know that we are not alone. This is not an easy task to bravely share experiences that might trigger some deep wounds in others, but for me I believe they are all teachable moments guiding me along my path. This inner passion has empowered me to continue my meditation and spiritual practices facilitating healing circles with meditation, Shamanic drumming, and providing spiritual cleansing and energy healing.
I have always enjoyed the outdoors growing up and watching my Dad in his garden being so tender with his plants. Surrounding myself with nature and the elements have guided me to a deeper kinship with plants and animals. Studying the healing properties of plants and becoming a wildlife rehabilitator has been very humbling and brought a deeper respect for our physical and spiritual connections with all things.
This power of getting mentorship to have lived experiences of the sacred
My path eventually led me on a Sacred Power Journey to Teotihuacán, Mexico, with Nina Palmeiri, an apprentice of Don Miguel Ruiz and the founder of A New Earth Movement (ANEM). Thus began my studies with the Mystery school and their 7 Legacies program, and in September 2021, I completed ANEM’s Advanced Mentorship program. These teachings were a journey of self-development and deep inner reflections. The mentorship program showed me how to work through my own programs and conditioning. By mentoring myself in this way, I can be of better service to others to be a successful mentor to someone else. Being on this natural healing journey and spiritual path for a few decades with many beautiful teachers and navigating my own traumas and challenges, I now share my offerings using a vast range of tools that integrate body, mind, and spirit in my mentorship sessions.
The spiritual path is only as strong as your lived experience. Books and workshops, and even certification programs only go so far. Intellectual knowledge, while fascinating, cannot help you navigate through life’s daily challenges. It’s the regular practices, along with the cultivation of intuition, presence, and awareness, that will help you evolve spiritually.
I believe the power to heal lies within
all of us
Being an Intuitive Empath, I believe the power to heal lies within all of us. Even from an early age, I was always passionate about alternative healing modalities, whole foods, and the metaphysical. This led me to the studies of food as medicine, herbalism, shamanism, energy medicine, and metaphysics, all of which I often combine during my soul-based mentorship sessions.
Being on this natural healing journey and spiritual path for a few decades with many beautiful teachers and navigating my own traumas and challenges, I now share my offerings through mentorship sessions. It is my greatest honor and joy to help others with their healing journey, and what I love the most is that no two paths are alike. Each exploration of health and remembering your wholeness is unique to each client.
Professional Bio
I have been an investigator for over 30 years, starting in loss prevention, life insurance, and then the health insurance field working within a fraud special investigation’s unit. I was always great at reading people and had a sixth sense, not just with people but with plants/animals and the energy around me.
As an Intuitive Empath, using my investigative skills and keen power of perception my work with people has me researching and asking the right questions to get to the root of a problem, finding the right herb or supplement, healing modality, or getting to know someone on a deeper level.
I began to study plant medicine and energy healing, opening me up to more spiritual practices, including the power of prayer. In 2012 I had a spiritual awakening that inspired me to fully immerse myself into my intuitive gifts and meditations, connecting more inwardly.
In 2021, I graduated from a two-year Advanced Mentorship Program, taking a journey of deeper immersion into my own personal transformation, mentoring myself, to successfully be able to mentor another. I was able to tap into my power and be my authentic self, to step into and confidently own my gifts.
I am here to guide people to their own true nature and expression, help them make positive changes in their own life, or overcome an obstacle – to feel good again.
