Liza (they/them) works at West Side Wellness in Providence, RI., offering therapeutic massage that centers safety and supports ease and expansion. Their style blends deep tissue and swedish massage techniques in a way that’s both intuitive and methodical — gradually releasing deep tension and helping the nervous system to settle. Liza’s approach to wellness challenges healthism, ableism, weight-stigma, and all systems that devalue our bodies. They trained in massage therapy at the Community College of Rhode Island, earned a B.A. in biology at Wheaton College (Mass.), and are a certified teacher of trauma-informed accessible yoga.
