You Are Already Whole: Buddhist Meditation & Trauma-Informed Energy Healing
I built a successful tech career thinking achievement would fill me up. When hustle culture made me sick, I turned to spirituality—where I kept searching for someone to tell me what was wrong.
After 10 years of Buddhist study and 1000+ hours of training, I discovered what the wellness industry doesn't want you to know: I was never broken. And neither are you.

I Challenge the Wellness Industrial Complex
After ten years studying Buddhism and completing over 1,000 hours of training as a Reiki master and somatic trauma therapist, I discovered the wellness industry was selling the same hustle culture that broke me in the first place.
My approach is different:
Decolonized Reiki that honors lineage without whitewashing
Trauma-informed practices (trained with Bessel van der Kolk, Peter Levine)
No spiritual bypassing or toxic positivity
You're treated as already whole, not broken and in need of fixing
Before this, I was a tech entrepreneur in NYC. Featured in the New York Times and Wired. Spoke at Apple and Columbia Business School. When my body demanded I stop, I rebuilt my life around what actually heals—not what sells.

“To be 'in good hands' is the best description of Liza's reiki practice. I felt cared for, responded to, and as if she intuitively understood and stayed closely attuned to my needs and energy."
