Welcome Sister
Hi! I'm Lizzy, and I created The Sanctuary because I needed it.
​​
Even though I did a lot of traditional fitness, talk therapy and personal growth- my anxiety and people-pleasing tendencies persisted.
​
I ended up getting pretty far from myself, and needed a way to come home.
​​​​
My own dark night of the soul led me deeper into somatic practice & nervous system awareness.
My own pain & physical trauma led me deeper into the mechanics of how our bodies move, stabilize, adapt, and build capacity.
​
For the past 20 years, I've been helping women reconnect to the deep wisdom and power within themselves.
​
Truth be told, the practices inside The Sanctuary continue to support me in navigating the everyday perils of life, motherhood and entrepreneurship.
Life is a lot, Am I right? So I created The Sanctuary as a place for us to drop into, anytime we need it. Especially when shit is hard!
​
It's an honor to practice with you, sister.​

Some days you need to shake ass. Some days you need to grieve.
The Sanctuary is a space that meets you,
just as you are.
There is a version of You...
Who feels grounded, open, powerful, and fully expressed.
She's not rushing, forcing or over-riding.
She is learning to recognize what she feels, respond to what she needs, and inhabit her body with trust.
She can meet life's challenges without abandoning herself & she can build strength without treating her body like it's a problem.
The Sanctuary is so much more than a traditional fitness studio,
it's a place to become HER.
YOUR BODY IS THE WAY
You can't think your way into feeling different.
We can understand our patterns intellectually and still find ourselves reacting in familiar ways.
That's because our experiences shape not only what we think, but also how we notice sensations, respond to stress, move, breathe, and relate to the world around us.
Somatic practice invites you to bring your attention back to the body. To notice what's happening, explore what helps you feel supported, and practice new ways of responding.
Inside The Sanctuary, you'll find workouts, meditations, and embodiment practices to build a more compassionate relationship with your body and cultivate more choice, capacity, agency in how you meet your life.
STRENGTH STARTS FROM WITHIN
Build strength without disconnecting from yourself.
​
Strength is about more than how much weight you lift and how your body looks.
​
It's about how you organize & stabilize your body system, and how you're able to adapt, and respond to everyday life.
​
As women move through different seasons of life, strength training can play an important role in supporting muscle and bone health, function, and long-term vitality.
​
But how we build strength matters too.
​
Inside The Sanctuary, strength meets somatic awareness and biomechanics-informed movement.
​
You'll have the opportunity to explore how your breath, ribs, shoulders, spine, pelvis, hips, and feet work together and how changing your approach can improve the way you feel when you train, walk, and move through life.

Moving well matters for longevity. The Sanctuary shows you how.
Restoring your
Deep Core Power
Your deep core is more than muscles. It's the epicenter of your personal power and plays an integral part in how you breathe, move, and respond to load.
​
Your diaphragm, abdominal wall, pelvic floor, back, and surrounding muscles work together in a dynamic pressure system.
Pregnancy, birth, surgery, stress, and years of pushing through can change how you experience your core... causing you to feel anxious, unstable, braced, and susceptible to injury, burnout, and manipulation.
But when it's restored, everything changes.​
You begin to feel grounded, supported, powerful.
Practice a new way of being
Perhaps you know you need to slow down, but find yourself pushing through.
Perhaps you know how to set a boundary, but struggle to stay connected to yourself when someone is disappointed with you.
Perhaps you want to feel stronger, but traditional approaches to exercise have left you feeling worse instead of better.
Somatic awareness gives you a way to notice these patterns as they happen.
This isn't about perfecting yourself.
This is about becoming more present with yourself,
so you can make conscious choices
from a deeper place
of self-awareness and self-trust.
YOUR BODY IS A LIVING ORACLE
Learn to listen to the wisdom within.
Beneath the noise of the world and the pressure to "do it right", there is a quiet intelligence that is always communicating to you through sensation, emotion, energy and instinct.
Through embodied practice you'll explore your inner 'yes' and 'no', strengthen your relationship with your own needs & boundaries, and cultivate greater trust in your inner guidance.
Most women have been taught to ignore their body's intelligence, but inside The Sanctuary, reclaiming it is our daily practice.
Each class is designed to bring you back home to yourself and what your body already knows.
Let Your Practice Meet Your life
The way you relate to your body can influence how you meet the rest of your life.
As you become more aware of your needs, patterns, and capacity, you can begin to make choices that feel more aligned with who you are.
You don't earn your power by doing more, babe...
You practice inhabiting it.
First in your body, AND then in your relationships, your work, your creativity, and your leadership.

Your Journey Inside
The Sanctuary
This isn't just a collection of classes.
​
It's an evolving practice space where you can explore what your body's needs, build strength, and develop a deeper relationship with yourself.
​​
Each phase within the studio builds upon the next, to support you release what's no longer serving, gently rewire your movement patterns, and increase your capacity to hold, create, and receive MORE in your life.
Phase 1: Resource
Create Support, Awareness & Inner Stability
Begin by building a relationship with your body and
resources that help you feel more present, supported,
and self-resourced.
​
Explore grounding, centering, orientation, breath, nervous system
awareness, gentle movement, and somatic self-care practices.
​
Phase 2: Release
Self-Holding & Permission to Soften
With more inner resources available, you can begin
exploring habitual tension, protective patterns, and the
emotions that may accompany them.
​
Through somatic movement, myo-fascial release, breath, and reflective practices, you'll have the opportunity to soften what you're bracing, be held, and allow what's ready to be released to begin to let go, making more space for your creative life force energy to flow.​​
Phase 3: Resilience
Build Strength & Capacity
Resilience isn't about pushing through compensation patterns, it's about developing the capacity to meet life's demands while staying connected to your integrity.​​
Inside The Sanctuary, somatic awareness meets biomechanics-informed movement and strength training to improve mobility, core function,and overall efficiently in how you manage stress & how you move through life.

"Through this work, I have not only sculpted parts of my body that I haven't paid attention to in years, but I have reclaimed the parts of myself that were unfortunately buried under alot of conditioning, chores, and the day-to-day mundane...my Essence, my Power, my Grace, and my Connection to Source."
"Wow, What a life changing catalyst this journey has been for me. Lizzy has an amazing ability to channel messages that are exactly what I need to hear. She speaks to the wholeness of our human experience in deeply acknowledging ways. I am moved to sweat and to tears, in the best way possible."
