3-hour Trainings:

Identifying and Reframing Fear

Fear can be paralyzing or a catalyst for change. Many individuals ignore signs and symptoms of physical and mental discord due to fear of the unknown.  This can lead to poor health outcomes and affect your quality of life.

Participants will be guided to identify their fears pertaining to their lives and health and strategies to reframe the mind to move beyond and take action. This session uncovers the root causes of Fear and helps one understand how fear impacts health.

What Kind of Patient are You?

Most individuals approach their healthcare rooted with conscious beliefs and patterns that may positively or negatively affect their experiences and health outcomes.  During this session participants will deeply reflect on belief systems that impact how one perceives their healthcare options and  providers.  This session explores strategies to activate personal power to influence and optimize changes that lead to living healthily.  

Participants will explore four patient prototypes Dr. Liza has identified and specifically reflect on how one’s thinking directly impacts their healthcare journey. 

Identifying Conscious Healers and Health Partners

Participants are supported with tools aimed at optimizing interactions with complex healthcare systems and providers.  Strategies to empower you to be prepared, intentional, grounded, focused and goal-oriented patient consumers will change your perspective and encourage self-advocacy.

Participating in Health Vows absolutely changed my life in a positive way. I’d say one of the greatest impacts it had on me is living (and parenting) in Love, not Fear.

Taking the Health Vows Workshops inspired me to find the courage to alter my career path and start my own business. I’m also practicing mindfulness and meditation more every day. I can’t recommend this workshop enough! I looked forward to it so much, it was like medicine.
