We offer transformative acupuncture to reduce pain (physical and emotional) and support the nervous system and whole being. We do not offer managed care or primary care. If we are a good fit, we can serve as an auxiliary person in your network. We are both certified herbalists and can bring herbal medicine into your treatment plan, along with bodywork and other Eastern Medicine modalities. Liz is also an educator on creative embodiment and offers virtual sessions to individuals and groups of artists and thinkers.

Liz is the creator and host of Body Land Metaphor Medicine, a free guided visualization resource on the podcast platform. Listen and get a sense of what it’s like to work with me. These are deep listening experiences that require time set aside in a still, quiet place. They can be listened to in bed for insomnia, via headphones on public transportation for self-regulation, in groups as a guided meditation with an integration discussion afterwards, and so on. They are not to be listened to while driving or multi-tasking. Listen on Spotify, Apple podcasts, Amazon Music, or download directly here on my website. Please share widely. These are a public offering. Seasons 1-4 are in English, and season 5 is en Español.

[Talk] What Do People Get from a Facilitated Psilocybin Journey? Takeaways from Psychedelic Sessions with Magic Mushrooms

August 13, 2026  /  Liz Greenhill

Did you know that therapeutic magic mushroom sessions are legal in Oregon? Many people are curious to learn more about facilitated psilocybin journeys. In Season 6 of Body Land Metaphor Medicine, I share about my experience in the field. I was in the second cohort of Oregon practitioners who became legal Psilocybin Facilitators (2023-2024) and end up answering questions lots of at dinner parties and gatherings. I find it so fun to talk about and am happy to share. Here are some of the takeaways that people tend to get from their journey. For more talks on psilocybin services — stay tuned! If you’d like to listen to a guided meditation that helps you chill out and down shift, check out Seasons 1-4 in English and Season 5 in Spanish! These are visualizations where you lay down or sit still, close your eyes, and actively dream to regulate your nervous system, and learn that metaphors can be medicine!
