How I came to this work.
A B O U T
I am a Certified Emotion Code and Body Code Practitioner, a QHHT® Level 2 Practitioner, an intuitive healer, and a longtime yoga teacher. My work supports people through emotional patterns, life transitions, grief, uncertainty, and seasons of change.
Over the years, my work has grown from yoga and intuitive healing into a fuller approach that includes energy clearing, Higher Self guidance, quantum healing hypnosis, and embodiment. I help people explore what may be beneath the surface, release what is ready to move, and reconnect with themselves more deeply.
I work in Glen Ellen, California, Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, Austin, Texas, and online with people around the world. I also offer retreats and in person experiences in California and Florida.
At the heart of everything I do is one belief: you are the authority on your own experience. My role is to listen deeply, follow what arises, and support you as you reconnect with your inner knowing.
This page is the story of how that work began, the teachers and experiences that shaped me, and the meaning behind the name Luzia.
It began with yoga.
For more than fifteen years, yoga has been both my personal practice and one of my greatest teachers.
What began as a physical practice gradually became a deeper way of understanding myself. Yoga taught me to notice what was happening beneath the surface, to stay present through moments of discomfort, and to listen to the quieter wisdom of the body. It opened the door to my study of breath, mindfulness, embodiment, and the connection between body, mind, and spirit.
My training began in Marin County and deepened through my studies with Lesley Desaulniers at Padma Studio in Fairfax, California. Her approach reaches far beyond physical postures. She teaches yoga as a way of living with greater presence, compassion, awareness, and connection. Those principles continue to shape my own practice and the way I support others.
Over the years, I have taught thousands of classes. Each one taught me something about paying attention. I learned that two people can arrive in the same room with entirely different needs, and that meaningful teaching begins with listening.
Today, I teach privately, online, and through retreats in California and Florida. These more personal settings allow me to respond to the person in front of me and create a practice around what they need that day.
A private session may include movement, breathwork, meditation, or rest. You do not need previous yoga experience or a particular level of flexibility. We begin with how you feel and let the practice unfold from there.
WHERE IT STARTED
Then something asked me to look beyond the body
T H E T U R N
As my spiritual path deepened, I felt called to explore healing beyond the physical. That calling led me to Costa Rica, where I completed The Essence Healer training with Cru.
There, I learned to receive intuitive guidance through imagery, sensations, emotions, energetic information, and symbolic messages. I also learned to let each session unfold according to the person and the moment, without steering it toward a predetermined outcome.
Learning to receive intuitive information was one part of the process. Learning to trust what I received took much longer. Along the way, the work became deeply personal. I moved through layers of conditioning, fear, and limiting beliefs and began reconnecting with who I truly am.
What I came to understand is that we are each our own medicine. I do not believe I am the source of another person’s healing. I am a bridge, someone who listens, creates space, offers guidance, and helps you reconnect with the wisdom and intuition already within you.
Everything I had been searching for was already within me. That realization is now at the heart of my work, and today I have the privilege of creating space for others to remember it in their own way.
Emotion Code and Body Code became the next part of my path
THE NEXT STEP
My experiences with yoga, intuitive guidance, energy work, and ceremonial healing taught me to listen closely to what lies beneath the surface. The Emotion Code gave me a more structured way to explore emotional patterns connected to past experiences, relationships, and recurring themes.
I later moved into the Body Code, which broadened that work beyond trapped emotions and allowed me to view energetic imbalances through a much wider lens.
I am now a Certified Emotion Code and Body Code Practitioner, and I bring both methods together through Clear Your Path, my remote energy clearing session for 1 to 3 intentions. Each session also includes a Heart-Wall check, with release work when applicable.
What I value most about this work is that no two sessions look the same. We begin with what you want support around and follow what your body brings forward.
Quantum Healing Hypnosis brought me back to the beginning
AND NOW
In Quantum Healing Hypnosis, I found a way of working that lives out what I believe most deeply: that each of us is our own medicine, and the healer is only a bridge.
QHHT was developed by Dolores Cannon over more than 50 years of work. In a session, I guide you into a deep, peaceful state of relaxation, and you connect with your own Higher Self. You are not receiving answers through me. They come through you, in your own voice.
I am a QHHT® Level 2 Practitioner, trained through Dolores Cannon’s Quantum Healing Hypnosis Academy, and I follow her method step by step as she taught it. I offer full day sessions in person in Glen Ellen, California, and several times a year in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida and Austin, Texas.
QHHT reminds me of the space between breaths, the place where I first became still enough to hear myself. A session gives you a whole day in that space, long enough to hear what your soul has always known.
Three years on the road with Kambo Medicine
SINCE 2020
In 2020, Todd and I found Kambo during a period when I was deeply burned out, physically unwell, and carrying years of stress and unresolved trauma. What began as part of our own personal journey soon became an unexpected new chapter in our lives.
When the pandemic closed the yoga studios where I had spent years teaching and changed Todd’s work almost overnight, we felt called to travel. Over the next three years, we traveled throughout the United States and held thousands of ceremonies for people moving through difficult and transformative periods in their lives.
Those years taught me that holding space is not about controlling another person’s experience or having all the answers. It is about presence, humility, discernment, and knowing when to step forward and when to step back.
My understanding of ceremonial work was also deeply influenced by Elizabeth Bast Mbeye. She taught me to approach this work with reverence and to recognize that the ceremony itself is only one part of the process. What happens afterward matters just as much.
Integration is where we begin to understand what an experience may be asking us to change, release, or embody.
I believe these experiences can be profound teachers, but the goal is not to continually search for the next ceremony or breakthrough. We learn to listen inwardly, trust ourselves, and recognize that the wisdom we have been seeking also lives within us.
Today, Todd and I continue to offer private and group Kambo ceremonies from our home in Glen Ellen. We carry forward what those years taught us about presence, respect, integration, and the responsibility of holding space.
