Liv is a certified massage therapist and 500-hour certified yoga facilitator who brings a trauma-informed, holistic approach to care. Her work is rooted in her own lived experience navigating endometriosis, migraine, and chronic pelvic pain—experiences that shaped her deep commitment to supporting others in reconnecting with their bodies through gentleness, presence, and therapeutic touch. Liv holds 800 hours of massage therapy training from the National Holistic Institute and is continuing an additional 450 hours in advanced neuromuscular therapy. She has externship experience with Oak Park Massage Clinic, Lotus Root Massage, and Remedy Massage Therapy, where she supported clients in private practice environments. Through Carespace by Liv, she offers bodywork and restorative practices that center nervous system regulation, pain relief, and embodied healing—creating a welcoming space for rest, reconnection, and resilience.
