Liza is the entertaining and inspiring author of "See More, Hear More, Feel More", a delightfully simple and clear manual to discovering your love style, living more, and enhancing couple communication. She is also a contributing author to "More Random Acts of Kindness", and "Spiritual Autographs-Southern Women tell their Stories". Liza has had an extensive career as an adult educator. She was a psychology instructor at Tyler Junior College, she taught organization and wellness at a five-state leadership program, and taught intercultural communication at the University of Texas at Tyler. Liza has been a very active member of the East Texas community for over 25 years. She is a former executive board member with the Mental Health Association, she was the community chair of the Random Acts of Kindness Committee for three years, and she is a former member of the Board of Directors of the East Texas Crisis Center. Liza was also a Congressional Consultant for a five state district for six years. Liza is extremely passionate about her volunteer work with Pachamama Alliance, an international non-profit that is contributing to the creation of a new global vision of equity and sustainability for all. As a facilitator/presenter, Liza was recently filmed for a PBS "to be" televised introduction of the highly educational symposium, "Awakening the Dreamer, Changing the Dream". Liza offers life changing retreats and workshops that are both inspirational and practical. She also has a personal and couple counseling practice at the Land of Ease near Lindale, TX and in Tyler, TX. Combining different therapeutic approaches, she has developed a model that facilitates individuals moving quickly from a place of pain and heightened stress into a life of possibilities and well-being. Her goal with each client is to hold a space for deep healing and to provide tools for a life of intention. "By identifying and claiming those parts within ourselves that give us our nurturance and strength, we no longer search for something or someone outside of us for our comfort or safety," she explains. "It is then that we are able to have loving and fulfilling relationships and a successful life." "I live my life work of sharing the message of peace, wellness, and simplicity," Liza states. "Living in the woods of East Texas keeps me close to nature and reminds me of my spiritual ideal of living love." Her two grown daughters, Laura and Deanna, share the vision of healing and peace through their own lifework.
Liza is one of the best. She brings her material to life. -Jean Watson (Watson and Associates, Tyler, Tx) "Your insight into the needs of our organization, enabled you to provide a skillful weaving of affirming humor, interesting and educational material that has resulted in a stronger, more bonded team exhibiting a resurgence of enthusiasm and innovation in our programs." -Nancy Parkinson (Canadian Mental Health Association, Salmon Arm, B.C.) "This was one of the best workshops of this type I've ever attended. I have understood more today, and enjoyed it.!" -Kay Harber (Trinity Mother Frances Hospital, Tyler, Texas) "Great material. Your presentation was outstanding." -Jean Coleman (Trinity Mother Frances Hospital, Tyler, Texas) "The response to your talk was so fabulous and almost everyone said it was their favorite section of the (30 hour) course." -Nancy Bethancourt (Hospice of East Texas, Tyler, Texas) "There are certain people that distinguish themselves above all the rest, and Liza Ely is definitely an individual whom I will always remember as an outstanding professional and caring person." -Dr. Vickie Geisel (Tyler Junior College, Tyler, Texas) "Your session - as always - got great reviews. We appreciate you as a person, a professional, and a presenter!" -Virginia Saban, Conference Co-Chair (East Texas Network for Children) “Wonderful, refreshing, fulfilling, liberating, awesome!” -K. “What makes me appreciate you the most is the way you balance your intelligence and heart. No one else I know can listen to a pupil, client, seeker of advice, etc. and make the person feel like the best friend – your best friend. You add such warmth to your knowledge that the lesson or information is never learned, it is soaked up.” -K.A. “Thank you for enriching the leadership experience for me with your gifts of serenity, thoughtfulness, caring, gentleness, grace, and inner beauty that speaks to everyone around you.” -J. “It is RARE to encounter a person who embodies the healing powers of self love that you so freely shared with me during our recent leadership experience. The overwhelming sense of well-being that I am feeling has already impacted my marriage and my role as a father. My commitment to always being WHOLE must be attributed in no small way to the gifts you have given me, to the tools, to the process, to the actualization! PLEASE never tire of changing the lives of everyone you encounter.” -D.
