Hi, I'm Eliza!
As a deeply connected seeker, I’ve always had an ability to see what’s unseen, and a tendency to light people up with the creative, wild, and weird ways I move in the world.
My journey began at a young age, growing up on a small farm just north of New York City, where I realized early on that nature was a place of self-discovery for me. In college I studied both psychology and environmental studies at the University of Vermont and the interconnectivity between the well-being of people and the planet became increasingly clear.
Increasingly curious about the connections between people, nature, and healing, after graduation, I spent years traveling the globe. I studied beneath the wings of leading teachers and healers in the areas of ThaiVedic bodywork, yoga, Somatic Experiencing, Ayurveda, shamanism, and women’s wellbeing, and discovered the power of healing rituals such as all-night fire ceremonies, sweat lodges and indigenous initiations. I became especially passionate about the ways in which healing our nervous system opens doorways to the divine, and wove both hands-on bodywork and intuitive, energetic approaches into my personal practice.
I started Eliza Volk Healing Arts out of a deep sense of calling to help people connect more deeply with their bodies and spirits.
I know that not everyone is into shamans and fire circles, which is why I design personalized approaches to healing: for one person, a healing massage may be the most compelling form of support, whereas for someone else, intuitive coaching may resonate most deeply.
I continue to be inspired by the ways that other people's healing journeys relate to my own. By being in relationship, we are all carrying each other home, growing our understanding of this shared experience of life, and getting higher and more clear on ways to be in the world that are aligned with our souls.
