My name is Liana. Whether you need a remedy for acute pain, a chronic illness or imbalance, or emotional/mental distress, I am here to provide a focused and individualized treatment plan, as well as a space where you can drop more fully into your body.

I've been living in Prescott since the end of 2021. Originally I’m from Philadelphia, PA, but I've grown away from city-life -- being closer to nature is what I need for my body and mind. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to provide quality care to our community here, it’s what I love to do.

Although I do have a strong background in physical medicine and western biological sciences, I have always tended towards a holistic and integrated approach to the body and the psyche.

I graduated with my Masters Degree in Oriental Medicine in 2015 from a 4 year Integrative Medicine college in California, where acupuncturists are primary care providers. Through this program I studied abroad at a medical college in Shikoku, Japan, as well as completed a landmark internship at the Benioff Children’s Hospital in San Francisco. Outside of my school’s curriculum, I studied as an apprentice for 2 years under an expert of a style of acupuncture called Japanese Meridian Therapy. In 2018 I completed a 4 part certification process in Esoteric Acupuncture, as taught by Dr. Mikio Sankey.

From 2018 to 2021 I apprenticed with an indigenously trained and initiated healer, learning principles and techniques of energetic and sound healing. In 2021 I became certified in a trauma healing method which utilizes a unique combination of gestalt emotional processing, creative reimagining, and parts work to bring relief and closure to unresolved painful experiences from the past.

Most recently, I have completed of a 2 year mentorship program with a true master of pattern work and spiritual surrender. In the fall of 2025 I will return to my roots and begin a clinical doctorate in Acupuncture.

In addition to acupuncture (Classical Chinese, TCM, Japanese, & Esoteric), I also provide therapeutic cupping, moxibustion, gua sha, nutritional and lifestyle counseling, and Medical Qi Gong when necessary. I am a certified Chinese Medicine herbalist and prescribe individualized herbal compounding as well as pre-prepared formulas.

Please feel free to get in contact with any questions you have about your ailments or the treatment process.
