massage school in the north of Thailand, in a Lahu hill tribe village,

brought to this world. Om Mani Pame Hum.

Liz Liz
gave up her outstanding career in the thespian world, shed her many
guises and decided the way to liberation for her was to just ‘be’
herself and open up to the many life experiences which empower and
transform us. Her catalyst was the Sivananda Yoga teacher training
course in India which she attended in 2000, giving her support and
direction on her spiritual path. Having also studied Thai massage with
Krishnataki for several years, she now resides in her motherland, Wales,
where she offers massage treatments and teaches yoga. She is a qualified
natural nutritionist (addicted to chocolate) and is currently attending
a course in kinesiology. She is the writer and singer of the album
“Selfocity” and is in her most divine state when singing bhajans with
her beautiful, uplifting voice, reciting poetry and ecstatic dancing.
Her contagious laugh can be heard over three fields and she can always
be found celebrating the new moon with an enema.
