About

Hello, I am Liz Monson, your healing partner in medicine.

Hospital patients were not only receptive but also surprised by how effective Reiki and acupressure could relieve their pain and anxiety better than traditional medications. Our team offered community seminars on integrative medicine therapies. We opened additional community training sessions due to high demand. Our team collected data, published, and presented our results regarding the effectiveness of integrative therapies at national and international conferences.

My journey shifted to educating myself about the evidence base for these holistic therapies and systems, and I obtained clinical certification in yoga therapy, Reiki, acupressure, and auricular acupuncture. I began implementing these therapies in my practice and trained other healthcare practitioners in the practice of acupressure, meditation, and Reiki.

I continued my training with a Fellowship at the Andrew Weil Center of Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona. The effects of this fellowship first surfaced in my personal life. I have three chronic medical conditions, and with changes in diet and exercise, implementation of mind-body therapies, and evidence-based botanicals with a better safety profile, I have eliminated most traditional medications that were only managing symptoms.

This experience changed my life. Integrative medicine has options to promote health and healing that expand and enhance the traditional Western medicine model. I am here with you, to cultivate healing and empower your journey to find sustainable options for better health.
