Soraluna's Online Review Report Card

Lizzie saved my skin. After years of struggling with acne and rosacea, and trying western dermatology methods (topicals, pills) to no avail, I decided to address the root cause from the inside/out. I feel very grateful for Lizzie's deep knowledge of dermatology and the intersection of traditional Chinese medicine to address skin holistically. She customizes herbal formulations each week that leave me glowing -- a craft that comes with taking the time to really listen and meet her patients exactly where they are. Her intuition of what I am going through internally, and its effect on my skin, has always been spot on -- you can tell she really loves what she does and loves seeing you improve. As a bonus, she is just a lovely person and I cannot recommend her enough to help you heal

Lizzie Swartz is a multifaceted and very talented healer. I've been working with her for many years now and what she has created through her gorgeous clinic, Soraluna is nothing short of pure magic! Her acupuncture/TCM skillset is extremely advanced and she's been able to address a variety of issues for me: emotional stress, anxiety, boosting my lung qi, neck and shoulder tension, support for perimenopause, and overall immunity. She has crafted custom dry herb mixes for me when I've been ill with a sore throat, congestion and cough, and blended flower essences for practical use (to ward off mosquitos during international travel) as well as more esoterically (aiding in energetic/mindset shifts). I always feel very heard, seen, and thoughtfully taken care of during my appointments. Lizzie's signature facial acupuncture is the most incredible treatment on the planet! I could not believe how well my super sensitive skin received it. She uses locally-sourced, plant-based skincare (masks, hydrosols, serums, balms) along with strategically placed needles on the face (no botox necessary!) to lift and invigorate. Gua sha and gentle cupping is also part of the process. It feels luxurious, so pampering, and my skin was smooth, hydrated and brightened afterward. If you want to shine from the inside out, Lizzie is your source!

you truly need to meet, and work with, this woman to appreciate her. she is possibly one of the most genuinely positive and caring people i've ever met in my life. right when i met her she was all smiles, warm and welcoming. she invited me in and we chatted about what has been going on, what changes i am wanting and (this is the key) - what it would FEEL like to have these things. often people forget that a big part of the manifestation process is to already picture yourself having your goal and what it would FEEL like. okay, so we do the session. i'm laying down. her Reiki hands are so warm and i could feel when she was at different areas of my body - it's always such an amazing feeling when you experience that. she walks me through some visualization situations (she probably tailors it to the person so i won't go into specifics). i also get some of my own visions, and saw and felt many things while on the table. after the session we chatted about what things she saw while doing the work. different experiences she felt and what she was being shown. the interesting thing is - a couple different things she saw or felt i did too. it actually made me kinda laugh. i told her - so, i saw "this" too and we both got so excited we were having the same experience. it was a really awesome. i've had Reiki done before, and other healings. but honestly, this may be one of the best experiences i've ever had. not only was she GREAT, but you could tell she desperately WANTED to help. she told me some of her story once we were first talking and i could see how this inspired her to be driven to really want to help others. her compassion is really strong and you can tell she is truly meant to do this with her life. another quick note - i am a guy, so she does work with guys, if this was a concern for anyone.

My session was Liz was nothing less than amazing. First and foremost, Liz radiates this joyful, peaceful, loving presence that makes you feel comfortable with her right away. The beautiful garden setting that you pass through before entering the treatment room sets the tone for relaxation and shows how in touch she is with mother nature (which definitely shows up in her work.) As someone who has never officially had a Reiki treatment before, I didn't know exactly what to expect. What I experienced was eye-opening and magical. I felt more in touch with my authentic self than I have in a long time. It was an emotional experience for me, but I also felt very relaxed and rejuvenated. Liz sat with me after the treatment for quite some time and asked questions about how I was feeling and offered her insights into those emotions (which I might add were spot on!) She also offered many suggestions on how to continue working on these things at home. I will most definitely be going back to see her in the future!

I feel so lucky to have found Liz! She is a true gem and a genuine healer. My treatment with her was incredibly uplifting and I left feeling reset and more comfortable and confident in my body and mind. the session itself felt very fluid and individualized---she really listens and tunes in--I've been feeling a lot of stagnation lately and she could immediately tune in on the clearing out I needed with warmth and care. Her studio is comfortable and inviting, and it was easy to feel open in her space (especially on her amazing amethyst biomat!). at the end of our session, she provided guidance so the work would continue even after I left. I highly recommend Liz Swartz @ Awake Woman for anyone looking feel uplifted, gain clarity, and reconnect with their intuitive nature. I will be working with Liz @ Awake Woman again!

Liz has a real gift with energy work. Her garden sets the stage for the beautiful work she did for me, and can do for you. Her studio peers out into a lush garden (especially for San Francisco standards) and you can feel her connection to nature and the spirits she harnesses to do the powerful work she does. I had a tough year with a number of professional and personal stressors. She immediately could feel the clearing out I needed and set me at ease with kindness and compassion. My sessions with her are moving and uplifting. I can't recommend her more.
