Healing Offerings
Welcome to a journey through the healing arts of Chinese Energetic Medicine and beyond. In these practices, ancient wisdom meets modern understanding, creating a holistic approach to well-being that nurtures body, mind, and spirit. My personal voyage into these healing modalities began in 2017, a journey fueled by a passion for understanding the deeper layers of human health and wellness. It's been a journey of deep learning and personal transformation, leading me towards completing a 4-year clinical doctorate program in Irvine, CA, in August 2024, an experience that has profoundly shaped my approach to healing. From the comprehensive teachings of Chinese Energetic Medicine to the profound touch of Seitai bodywork, each modality offers a unique pathway to healing and balance.

- Chinese Energetic Medicine:
Historic Background and Principles:
Chinese Energetic Medicine, a tradition steeped in centuries of wisdom, views health through the lens of energy balance. Rooted in the philosophy of Daoism, this practice harmonizes the flow of Qi, the vital life force, through the body's meridians and organs. The guiding principle here is the balance of the Yin and Yang energies and the Five Elements theory, each element corresponding to a different organ and emotion.
A. General clearing and balancing: this treatment gently clears and tonifies the five yin organs. In Chinese Energetic Medicine, we work with the 5 elements, corresponding to the five yin organs, to strengthen them and bring them and the body into better balance. During the treatment, we clear whatever is ready to move, including: grief from the lungs (which then can generate clearer thinking), excessive emotion from the heart (which then can generate more peace), anger from the liver (which then can generate more compassion), worry from the spleen (which then can generate more trust and faith), and fear from the kidneys (which then can generate more wisdom). After the clearing, new energy is brought to each organ, and balanced.
B. Thirteen Ghost Points: this is another wonderful treatment from the large canon of treatments in Chinese Energetic Medicine. Originating from the work of Sun Simiao, a renowned physician of the Tang Dynasty, this treatment focuses on the psychological and spiritual aspects of health. One great benefit of this treatment is letting go and releasing “old ghosts.” The Thirteen Ghost Points treatment can help the body and spirit to release tensions and stress that may have accumulated, sometimes resulting in an underlying feeling of low-level stress or irritation. The Thirteen Ghost Points assists the physical and energy bodies in grounding out and lightening physical tensions and/or emotional burden. To complete the treatment we bring in new energy, and run the microcosmic orbit for balance.
- Deep tissue body work
Introduction to Seitai:
Seitai, a Japanese form of bodywork, translates to "proper body" and is aimed at restoring the body's natural balance. My journey with Seitai began during my time teaching English in Japan, where I immersed myself in this four-year study. This modality is rooted in the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Tuina, and focuses on correcting imbalances in the body's structure and energy flow.
​
-Seitai works deeply to help unwind tensions and improve comfort and movement, especially at joints such as hips, elbows, and shoulders. Many years of martial arts caught up with me, and I love being able to share this work that has helped me to use stairs again with ease, as well as continue with martial arts!
-Abdominal massage from the same school of Seitai. Abdominal massage can help with digestion, can help increase lower back comfort, and can also assist in balancing emotions.
- Swedish massage is wonderful for relaxation, moving blood and lymphatic fluid, and for letting go and taking a well-deserved break in comfort!
- Reading Roses: third eye clearing and healing work. Together, we hold space in a grounded "reading room." We take a look at the energy of the body space and aura that day, and see if there is any supportive clearing or tonifying to be done. Then, we work with about 2-3 questions. These could be issues such as: human relationships, projects, pets, etc... We would look at where an issue lights up in the energy space, clear the charge off it, and bring in new energy to support the path going forward. At the end, we do a golden sun practice to retrieve scattered energy, bring it to present time, and revitalize the energetic center.
- Reiki, a beautiful form of energy healing that originated in Japan, is centered around the channeling of universal life energy to promote healing and balance. It is based on the idea that "life force energy" called ki, or qi, flows through us, and that this energy can be harnessed and directed for healing purposes. Reiki works on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels, offering a holistic approach to well-being.
Each modality, with its unique approach and benefits, contributes to a comprehensive understanding of health and wellbeing. Whether seeking physical relief, emotional balance, or spiritual growth, these practices offer pathways to a harmonious and healthy life. I invite you to explore these treatments and discover the profound impact they can have on your journey.

Testimonials
Eliza is a masterful energetic healer, bodyworker and clairvoyant, truly a rare gem! In a doctoral program assembling nearly 100 professional healers, bodyworkers and mystics from around the world, Eliza is one of the very best.
She is especially adept at remote or long distance healings: even 3,000 miles away, Eliza showed exquisite perception and sensitivity to the energy fields in and around my body, and was able to swiftly and effectively clean out toxic and stagnant energy. In person, she was able to work deeply in the physical tissue using a host of techniques, and could immediately sense the effects of her work on other parts of the body, even before I could articulate them myself. I felt I could totally put myself in her hands to sense and remediate decades old tensions and trapped energy, and identify and resolve areas of concern I wasn’t even aware of.
Eliza also has an unparalleled ability to connect energetically to useful information and compassionately communicate suggestions in response to very specific questions a client may pose.
She is a caring, gentle, highly intelligent and articulate advisor, drawing no doubt from her training as an international lawyer before she found her calling as an energy healer, body worker and clairvoyant.
I will continue to enthusiastically refer patients and clients to Eliza, confident that there are very few in the world as good as her!

Eliza is a remarkable healer. As a Doctor of Medical Qigong, I am very particular as to who works on me. After several treatments, both hands on and distance, I've always experienced very good results in pain relief and energy balancing. I highly recommend her and her practice. Sincerely,
- Pat Bardone, DMQ (Doctor of Medical Qigong)
During a recent yoga retreat in Vermont, I had the opportunity to schedule a Seitai massage with Eliza, to address pain and instability in one knee. This massage was incredible for its immediate and prolonged effectiveness. The deep pressure on muscles and bones released tightness, it was almost like I could “hear” the muscle fibers release, and then settle differently. So, it was both an invigorating and a calming massage. Afterwards, I felt my knee bending further and bearing weight more confidently and comfortably. What was the biggest surprise to me was that for the whole week following, I continued to feel the reverberation of the massage around those joints and muscles, like my body saying “thank you” and reminding me of the healing and self-care that is possible. I’m grateful to Eliza for her deep understanding, experience, respect, intuition; her giftedness in offering this massage.
