— The natural world benevolently embraces all who show it care and respect. The rivers, forests, and meadows love to hear our laughter. The birds, butterflies, and flowers appreciate our admiration. The fire gladly transforms our pain, while the ocean blithely supports our rebirth.

So don’t hesitate to deepen your relationship with the many aspects of nature. They are here for us as allies and mentors, joyously teaching through their very existence.

May your fire burn brightly and show you the way.

May the earth be soft and fertile beneath your feet.

May your water flow freely and quench your thirst.

May the winds lift you through the air to the place beyond time. And may the rays of the sun warm your heart and illuminate your soul.

Valeria interviews Liz Beachy Gómez — She is the author of “From the Depths of Creation: A Nature-Based Path to Healing.”

Liz Beachy Gómez is the founder of Ewassa, a nature-based healing practice in the Rocky Mountains outside of Denver, and author of From the Depths of Creation: A Nature-Based Path to Healing.

Liz’s passion for the natural world blossomed when she discovered Brazilian Orixá-based spirituality in her early twenties. She learned to work with the elements of Fire, Earth, Water and Air in ceremony and meditation, and through rituals of healing and celebration with the various aspects of each element. After several years of practice, Liz was initiated as a daughter of Iemanjá (the ocean) through the Templo Guaracy of São Paulo in 2003, and served as temple coordinator in Haiti and the Dominican Republic for seven years.

Liz is an international public health professional and energy medicine practitioner by training. She holds an undergraduate degree in psychology and anthropology from Kalamazoo College, and a Master of Health Sciences (MHS) degree in public health from the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health. She completed her training in Andean (Q’ero) shamanic healing practices through The Four Winds Society in 2018.

After ten years living overseas in West Africa, the Caribbean and Central America, Liz returned to the U.S. to raise her children while juggling a demanding career. A health crisis eventually spurred her to renounce her public health career in 2017 and return to nature in search of healing. The nature-based framework she teaches today was born of her personal healing journey, her love for the Brazilian Orixás, and her energy medicine work with clients and groups.

Liz is fluent in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese and can offer interviews or workshops in any of these languages.

— “When we align with our soul desires, life is flowing and fun and beautiful and easy - thoughts sponsored from love fill our minds with ease and grace, and then our minds create healthy bodies and harmonious relationships and life circumstances.”

Valeria interviews Justin Speller — He is a Certified EFT and Energy Work Practitioner.

Growing up in a family with two psychiatrists as parents, Justin Speller was always interested in the field of psychology. As a child, he learned about the inner workings of the mind just listening to his parents talk over dinner. Upon graduating from high school, Justin applied and was accepted into a full merit-based scholarship program at Boston College called the Presidential Scholarship Program. He enrolled with his heart set on following his parents and sister into the field of medicine.

However, it was not meant to be. In his freshman and sophomore years, Justin battled intense anxiety and depression, often feeling paralyzed and lost. During that dark time, he stumbled upon energy techniques and experienced the miraculous results possible from balancing stuck energies in a person’s system. Justin was intrigued, to say the least, and his spirit felt renewed. He finished his degree and received a BA in Psychology, but then decided to break course with the doctors in his family and head in a different direction.

Justin studied the Emotional Freedom Technique, also known as Tapping, and became a certified practitioner. He continued learning and began mentoring with Karin Davidson, a Master at EFT and Trainer of Trainers. She taught him so much on his journey to become a better practitioner and work with energy.

Justin utilizes many different techniques in his work and he has seen amazing results working with clients with all different types of emotional and physical issues. He is so excited to continue helping others in their journey towards health and wellness.
