Today we’d like to introduce you to Liz Naomi.
Hi Liz, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I grew up in Silverlake, CA with my mother, an artist and my father, a teacher. I wasn’t raised with any religion or spiritual background. Healing was not a term we used, let alone “spiritual teacher” or soul and there was definitely never any talk of a Spiritual God in any form. So it was to my surprise that my journey lead me to creating an entire business centered around healing, Spirituality, coaching and art. Although I grew up in an exposed way to all types of cultures and backgrounds, Spirituality wasn’t something that we ever spoke of. I did not have any knowing or had ever thought of energy work, consciousness, or awakening as a path for me; those things were just not in my vocabulary. Although I was a sensitive child and seemed to just know and sense things about people, I would tend to hide that part of me as I felt more adapted to fearing what others thought of it. I was always extremely creative and interested in the arts. I played the cello throughout high school but always hung out with the artists.
As time went on, I decided I did not want to become a concert cellist and went to study art instead at Art Center in Pasadena. During that time in my life without planning or searching for it I stumbled upon my first Spiritual teacher and my whole life changed. I became aware of the sensitive, multi-dimensional soul that I truly was and that life was more than just getting into the “best” school,” or having money or being famous. I decided I would devote my life to surrendering to my heart’s will instead of my ego’s and doing everything I could to heal my past. I devoted my life to the studies of Spiritual Psychology, awakening, healing and inner awareness. I took 100’s of workshops and felt called to help others with all I’d gone through utilizing my gifts. Soon I began incorporating my healing work into my art.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It has not been a smooth ride at all. There have been many trials and tribulations. As I delved more into my own awakening, I began to utilize all my experiences on my journey as lessons into how to heal myself in deeper ways. The more I did this the more I began to see how all the different levels of being a soul worked. If I had a challenge with a job or family member, whether it was an eating disorder or a relationship I thought couldn’t be healed, I began to become aware of each situation in my life being brought to me to heal a deeper unresolved issue. Everything began to bring me deeper into my own consciousness and in return illuminated my path with the lessons and challenges that were being presented to me. The more I looked at my limiting patterns or negative thinking or painful memories and learned to heal them, the more my life shifted and I began to awaken out of my story of being a victim to life and step into a story of joy and love and happiness. Every situation helped me learn about myself as a soul. I got a lot of chances to test if meditation, forgiveness, gestalt work, writing and a plethora of healing methods worked. I learned about manifestation and creating from my heart. As I healed myself, my art began to change, I started seeing art and creativity as more of an anchor of something that works through us and is grounded into the world by helping us know ourselves as a soul in a deeper way.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I make Healing Portraits and do Soul Coaching. During a healing portrait session, I sit with you in person or on Zoom and I make a personal portrait of you. While I’m making the portrait, I do a soul coaching session where we speak back and forth. These sessions can include anything from past lives and medium work to present situations to healing trauma from your past to clearing energy throughout your genealogical patterns. It is all Spirit driven and can be like a multi-dimensional clearing/healing session. I have clairvoyant gifts and help people see themselves and their limiting patterns and what they came here to learn as a soul and consciousness. By the end of the session, I have drawn an abstract portrait of you; I then show you the portrait and read the images and symbols that have come out of it. Kind of like the ancient art of reading tea leaves, I read the abstract images that have come through your portrait. Your soul speaks to me through these images and symbols. It is all very loving and heart-centered a magical experience designed by Spirit to bring you deeper into your loving authentic self.
How do you think about happiness?
Serving others and making art and music. I love the profound experience of helping people see their spiritual gifts which is essentially already them! They are the gift. People are all walking along this earth with these magical spiritual gifts and are yet to awaken to the fact they have been utilizing them their whole life, they came into the world with these gifts. I love helping people find the way that they can incorporate their power into their lives and jobs and paths in greater ways and holding a space for them to go beyond all barriers and see the healer within them, and watch them manifest their dreams.
