We offer transformative acupuncture to reduce pain (physical and emotional) and support the nervous system and whole being. We do not manage care or do 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.

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. acuyume@gmail.com

Emotions as Colors (before Bedtime)

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.

Cloudbody

June 02, 2021  /  Liz Greenhill

Need some levity? Let’s drop it like it’s hot and be clouds.   

Erase everything in the room. You get to be a cloud just like those dreams when you are flying. But this time, something special happens when you drop your baggage.

The Down Dial

April 17, 2020  /  Liz Greenhill

Turn the dial down on your nervous system to catch some solid sleep and bring your body into repose. When we invite the deep yin into our being, we can surrender our nervous energy and find a sense of peace.
