We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Lizzy Sinatra. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Lizzy below.
Hi Lizzy , thanks for joining us today. Was there a defining moment in your professional career? A moment that changed the trajectory of your career?
I tried to put off this work for a long time. Though I was seeing clients part-time, my focus was on academia: I had my Master’s Degree and in my first year as a PhD student. And then my health hit rock bottom. I was diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) that caused debilitating depression, extreme weight gain, and horrific mood swings. I couldn’t even function. My doctors wanted to put me on prescription medication, but I truly wanted to heal from the inside-out. In addition to high vibrational nutrition (juicing, eating organic, home-cooked meals), I tapped into my innate healing ability through tantric energetics work. As a 700-hr Tantric yoga practitioner, I have learned extremely powerful techniques to liberate stuck energy and life-force (prana) in the body, and master my mindset. I had no choice but to apply all of what I had learned, and get myself out of the rut that I feared would last forever. Most of my inner healing journey brought up a lot about shame, traumatic stories that I still held as beliefs from when I was a child, and the fear of being a woman. It was like my upbringing taught be to suppress all my feminine power and it ended up manifesting as suppressed hormone production, anovulation and an imbalanced menstrual cycle. But, I healed myself. And I have been symptom-free ever since (that was 7 years ago!). So that was what I considered one major initiation for me to personally step into this role as a healer, a guide, a mentor, a coach, and mirror back to other women their own innate healing abilities.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
Hello! I’m Lizzy Sinatra, a devoted student of life and death. I explore the world with childlike wonder and delight in the unknown. I am a tantric energetics healer, spiritual life coach, sacred sexuality coach, and death doula.
People tend to magically find me when they are ready for some deep inner transformation – for more love and acceptance in their lives, to reclaim missing or fragmented pieces of themselves that may have lost along the way, to heal psychological wounds that have been carried for a long time, and/or a desire to emerge, transform, open the heart, and align with their soul’s sacred knowings. I also work with a lot of women who wish to explore areas of shame and suppression, healthy communication around intimacy, and re-establish a loving relationship with their bodies.
We are all on the quest for more meaning, love, peace and connection in our lives. But sometimes our past – or fear of the future – gets in the way. I work with my clients to courageously explore the patterns, behaviors and beliefs that seem to stunt the capacity for openness, liberation and love. We enter the space of energetic alchemy to bring deep release and healing, which is multifaceted and layered work. Some of my clients are healers, psychologists and therapists who desire high-caliber energetic support since the journey into our emotional, physical, and spiritual being is an infinite unfolding.
The work with my clients is extremely personalized, so sessions are intuitively guided and may include a mix of: customized meditations, breathwork, kriya (yoga of electricity), somatic movement and healing practices, non-judgemental and compassionate listening, non-violent communication…and a ton of lightness, silliness and laughter, of course.
Through this work, I help lovingly support my clients get back to optimal alignment and wellness, improve longevity and the relationship with their mind and body…and live an unapologetically orgasmic life.
Any advice for growing your clientele? What’s been most effective for you?
Word of mouth – definitely. In an age where social media marketing seems to be the gold standard, I have maximized on the most powerful marketing method: simple, old school style of recommendations from my loyal clients. Through my existing clients, I have acquired new clients who have signed on to work with me each week, for months and years to come. In my area of work, it is hard to describe the transformations that occur: it seems too hard to believe sometimes, or touching on a subject matter that is difficult to grasp. But my clients are able to sincerely and vulnerably describe their experience to their own inner circles, but most importantly, the friends and family of my clients actually see the results for themselves: my clients have undeniable changes that are deep rooted with how they carry themselves, the words they use, their ability to keep their power and not abandon themselves during exchanges with others and voice their truths and boundaries, the absence of pain that used to be debilitating for them, the absence of reactive behavior.
What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?
So many lessons I am constantly unlearning, all the time, which shows how conditioned we are from when we are children. But one of the biggest lessons I had to unlearn was that being emotional and sensitive was something I should be ashamed of. Instead, I have realized that being emotional and highly sensitive are my innate gifts, and honoring them and building them has led me to strengthen my intuition, my healing ability, and my ability to hold space for others. I used to think that being sensitive, and feeling things all the time was a problem that I had, and that I didn’t fit in society. But now, I realize it’s society that hasn’t been designed to support feeling, healthy emotional regulation, and emotional sensitivities. I believe we are all meant to feel and learn healthy ways of emotional regulation.
