Liz teaches workshops and classes at the intersection of the body and image and language, and she works as an artist’s assistant/magic helper for embodied creativity. Occasionally she mentors writers. Liz has taught at Corporeal Writing, the Sou’Wester Lodge, PUGS (the Portland Underground Graduate School) and led workshops with Intuit, the Northwest Narrative Medicine collective, the Feminist Poetics and Emerging Pedagogy conference, and been a guest lecturer at Eastern Oregon University and Portland State University.

Curious for more information on Liz’s teaching philosophy? This interview with author Lidia Yuknavitch digs into it here.

“After spending years in writing groups where I learned tons about writing but did not make actual progress with my book, I decided to hire Liz as a coach. I could not have made a better decision. Ever since I’m working with Liz, my writing process has been elevated to a whole new level. I am making progress like never before thanks to Liz’s guidance and support. Liz has an uncanny ability to ‘get me’ and ‘my story’ on a profound level. Her feedback is so intuitive and so spot on that I often find myself discovering entire new levels to my story I had never seen before. This is deeply satisfying on a personal level and at the same time it has dramatically increased the power, vitality and depth of my stories. Liz is like a magician; wherever she touches the story with her magic wand, new textures and layers appear, transforming my stories from a flat two-dimensional piece to a multi dimensional creation. Liz creates an incredible container for our work together, I feel totally safe with her and never feel judged or put down. This is such a big deal for a writer like me, who like many others often struggles with her self confidence and ability to stay focused and believe that I can do this! For the first time, I feel that I have traction and that together, with Liz’s help, I can write my book!” - Niyati Evers
