The greatest gift Liana has given me (among many gifts) is the courage to disconnect from my abusive mom. I’d known my mom had sexually abused me for my whole life, and her emotional abuse was an ongoing poison until just a few years ago. The New Age teachings I was receiving highlighted forgiveness, giving up the victim story, seeing our parents’ pain, but left out the crucial component of eliminating toxicity and parasitic energy and having actual boundaries, championing our inner children. Liana taught me how to connect with, heal, and unconditionally love my inner children, and I could no longer betray them. She has helped me turn inward, away from codependent patterns, and to see the depths of my shadow but also my light, and has helped me know that anything can be healed. Her energy is like the sensuous, wild ocean and a warm, effervescent sparkly pink hug, and a fierce jaguar, and a wise snake. She is brilliant in everything from quantum physics to business expansion. And the depth of her unconditional love and commitment to service knows no bounds. Amidst the turbulence of the past couple years, during which so much has crumbled, Liana has remained steadfast, sovereign, and strong, teaching her students to be the same. Words cannot express the value, light, and love she brings to everything she does, and it is an immense blessing to be on this path of healing and returning to myself with her a my teacher.
