Liz Beachy Gómez

Elizabeth (Liz) Beachy Gómez founded Ewassa in 2017 as a space to reconnect deeply with nature on a spiritual level. She is the author of the award-winning book From the Depths of Creation: A Nature-Based Path to Healing, and a certified Energy Medicine Practitioner trained in Andean (Q’ero) shamanic healing practices. In her earlier adulthood Liz spent more than a decade overseas working in the field of public health (West Africa, Haiti, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Central America). In each of the places she lived, she also sought out opportunities to work with or observe traditional medicine men and women in their healing practices. Her observations through the lens of multiple cultures as well as her own personal healing journey have helped inform her practice today. In 1998, Liz began practicing a Brazilian spiritual tradition rooted in the natural world and the four elements. She was initiated as a daughter of Iemanjá (the ocean) in Brazil in 2003 and has since conducted a wide variety of nature-based healing ceremonies both in the US and overseas. Liz has an undergraduate degree in psychology and anthropology, and a Master of Health Sciences (MHS) degree in public health from the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health. She is deeply committed to honoring and living in balance with the earth.
