Hello, I’m Eliza. I am intuitive, grounded, and precise in my work with women. I have spent the last 15 years dedicated to somatics and embodiment, exploring life with depth, enthusiasm, and keen observation.

I come from a background in therapeutic Pilates, professional dance, and one-on-one somatic facilitation. These practices have gifted me with a refined sensitivity of presence and touch.

In a Pilates world that often revolves around rigidity and control, I am grateful for an education that emphasized biomechanics, assessment, and healthy breathing and pelvic diaphragm mechanics. My Pilates and movement education has merged with my study of presence-based nervous system attunement and of what actually allows a person’s behavioral and postural patterns to change. Together, these paved the way for me to understand my clients’ recurring limitations through a more holistic lens. This is what continues to drive my commitment to body-based education.

I was led to Womb Continuum Care through my desire to live a sensual, vibrant, healthy life — from menstruation to pregnancy to menopause and beyond. I first wanted to support my own health & vitality in a modern world that is organized around toxicity and compensation. I wanted more for myself, and for all the women whose lives I touch.

I passionately believe that a woman in her body is a woman in her power, and have seen firsthand that working with a woman's belly and pelvis puts her squarely in contact with her essence and creational life force. It invites her into deeper regulation, coherence, and an empowered relationship with her own life.

I am nearing the end of an 18-month training at Ma School under my teachers and mentors, Carly Rae Beaudry and Andrea Terrones. Ma School is one of the most comprehensive manual therapy programs focused on women’s abdominal, pelvic, and holistic health.

In her work in Pilates, Eliza teaches through the lens of:

  • Breathing mechanics: Ribcage and spinal mobility and diaphragmatic breathing (including the pelvic and respiratory diaphragms)

  • Healthy postural mechanics: Ribcage and pelvic alignment, mobility, and positioning, as well as foot mobility and strength

  • Dynamic core strength: A core that can breathe, move, and support the spine and pelvis


She brings these elements into her Womb Continuum Care practice with the women she serves, sometimes taking time at the end of a session for postural, breath, or core re-education.

  • "Eliza’s attunement to my body throughout the whole session allowed my tissues to soften underneath her gentle touch. Her deep, soothing presence, combined with the level of connection and dedicated intention she carries in her hands, gave me a grounding feeling for the rest of the day."

  • "Eliza’s pacing and touch were exquisitely attuned. Throughout the Womb Continuum vulva–vaginal work, I felt so safe, held, and respected. She met each layer of my body with presence, and her cues supported me in connecting more fully with my own sensation. The session was deeply beautiful and left me feeling so much more sensation throughout my vulva and my entire womb space. Deeply grateful."

    —Olivia, Bodyworker

  • "Eliza worked intentionally with my tissues in a way that felt like I was being noticed in my unique expression of cells, energy and emotion. This allowed me to feel safe to open up and release tension that has likely been present for years. Feeling seen in this way grounded me in my purpose and feeling like an embodied woman. Thank you, thank you, thank you for holding space for the changes in my tissues that good bodywork can inspire "
