the Reflection Zone- Liz Weatherly

Events are presented by Liz Weatherly, a Clinical Reflexologist, Life Coach and Mindfulness mentor who combines a range of skills to assist people to navigate stress, ill health and change.

 Steeped in self awareness and self - healing practices for the past two decades, in 2013 Liz established Auckland - based The Reflection Zone, a center for teaching and supporting positive life change through the use of the fundamentals of managing the nervous system, the practice of self- understanding, emotional literacy and radical self-acceptance.

 Liz's background nursing, Midwifery, teaching, writing and advocating in the health sector, combined with years of personal and teaching practice of self awareness has resulted in a practitioner with a down-to-earth, straight-talking and compassionate approach.

 Liz is based in Auckland (New Zealand) but travels throughout the country working and teaching.

Her methods incorporate a range of ideas and skills which collectively empower and support individuals to develop a resilient sense of self - worth and gain the ability to move forward - particularly following difficult experiences. Key goals are the development of self - love and acceptance, self awareness (of how the individual thinks and what they believe), emotional intelligence, inner child care,  forgiveness, and ways to support the down regulation of the nervous system out of habituated stress response.

Mindfulness is a wonderful adjunct or precursor to a focus on self - worth, as it creates the framework for self - acceptance (a key component of valuing oneself). Her method takes a holistic approach so that the learner is exposed to simple explanations of how our mind and body work in response to stress, to discussion about the role of emotions, why body awareness is a vital component of health, and how to access and experience the "aware self".
