We offer transformative acupuncture to reduce pain (physical and emotional) and support the nervous system and whole being. We do not offer managed care or primary care. If we are a good fit, we can serve as an auxiliary person in your network. We are both certified herbalists and can bring herbal medicine into your treatment plan, along with bodywork and other Eastern Medicine modalities. Liz is also an educator on creative embodiment and offers virtual sessions to individuals and groups of artists and thinkers.

Liz is the creator and host of Body Land Metaphor Medicine, a free guided visualization resource on the podcast platform. Listen and get a sense of what it’s like to work with me. These are deep listening experiences that require time set aside in a still, quiet place. They can be listened to in bed for insomnia, via headphones on public transportation for self-regulation, in groups as a guided meditation with an integration discussion afterwards, and so on. They are not to be listened to while driving or multi-tasking. Listen on Spotify, Apple podcasts, Amazon Music, or download directly here on my website. Please share widely. These are a public offering. Seasons 1-4 are in English, and season 5 is en Español.

You can sign up for a session here for one-on-one acupuncture at 811 East Burnside (second floor, no elevator) across from the Jupiter Hotel. Or, reach out to Yumé for her availability for a session at your hotel, home, or hospice place of care.

El Desierto: a Calming, Restorative, Stress Relief Guided Meditation in Spanish from Body Land (11 min)

November 26, 2024  /  Liz Greenhill

Vamos a enfocarnos en los colores de un desierto. Imagina la tierra roja, rica y vibrante, que se extiende ante ti, mientras las capas de colores se despliegan a través de las mesas, los acantilados y las dunas de arena.

Visualiza como el cielo abierto esta pintado con un hermoso degradado de amarillo y rosa al amanecer. A medida que el día avanza, observa las tonalidades de azul que van cambiando. Inmensas extensiones de nubes entran y salen. Pesadas nubes de lluvia, con tonos azul-púrpura, se desplazan en el cielo, entrando y saliendo, adornadas por un flequillo de lluvia lejana que parece colgar en el aire. A veces, estas nubes lucen inmóviles, antes de que el sol vuelva a brillar, iluminando con rayos celestiales en configuraciones transitorias. Colores rosas y lavandas estallan en el cielo. Permite que esta escena se anide en tu cuerpo.

Emotions as Colors: A Guided Meditation to listen to at bedtime for deep sleep (14 min)

October 22, 2023  /  Liz Greenhill

Here’s another visualization to listen to before bed. to free up and bring movement to any emotions that might be hanging around stalling our ability to rest. We use symbolism to envision the emotions as colors, which lets them be energetic, as opposed to stories tied to thoughts, which take us out of the body and into the mind. So, just let the colors fly, float, wash, and waft through you, trusting in the process, the energetic release, and your ability to embody a metaphor as a way to change the way you feel.
