Liz Evans has been a bodyworker since 1999 (1982 if you count the times she gave her brother “Indian burns” in church). Her passion for holistic wellness has opened up opportunities in hands-on therapeutic bodywork, helping clients heal in her treatment room. She teaches a bodywork modality that evolved under her hands, and leads groups in her own brand of fitness and facilitates groups in workshops and movement classes at retreats,

She studied at the Baltimore School of Massage from 1999–2001. After a brief stint at a 5-star resort spa in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, Liz returned to Maryland and started a small holistic wellness center, which she sold in 2005 to become a full-time mom. She is a mother of six young adults and “Alma” to two sweet grandboys.

Liz is passionate about sharing manual therapies like Core Alignment Therapy with other bodyworkers, whether they are certified therapists or compassionate caregivers who want to help keep a loved one out of pain.

Liz has also been teaching fitness to kids for over 20 years and has been teaching her own brand of core training, Core Transformation, since 2014. She will do anything–really, anything it takes–to make sure that her students walk away with the tools they need to succeed.

HandsOnBodyWorks is pending renewal of their approved provider status with NCBTMB for both the Basic and Advanced I & II Core Alignment Therapy trainings. As this training develops, she plans to create a certification program and Advanced III. Students can effectively learn to provide a gentle non-invasive alternative to chiropractic care that incorporates acupressure, functional neurology, assisted stretching, gentle joint mobilization, myofascial techniques and so much more! The results are powerful.

Liz has been trained in osteopathic alignment methodologies, Thai Yoga Massage, Beginning Reflexology, Healing Stone Massage, Prenatal & Postpartum Massage and the Kurashova Technique for Sciatica, Fibromyalgia, Carpal Tunnel and Nerve Re-Education. She has also studied Phenomenal Touch massage (Levels I & II) and is passionate about continuing her study of functional neurology with the Carrick Institute. Her plan is to get a master’s degree in functional neurology as the need is great for people to access this type of healing work.

In 2020, she opened up a wellness center, Wellspring Vitality, in Hotchkiss Colorado which combines her love of ancient healing traditions with cutting edge wellness technologies.

Liz is currently working on her first memoir, sharing stories from her difficult childhood that are meant to inspire and drop pebbles on the road to redemption for her readers. She loves to write and facilitates a writing group called, “Writing as Remedy” that allows people to creatively come into communion with one another. As we spill our stories on to the page, we are able to collectively make sense of them. Writing as Remedy creates a safe space to feel seen, soothed, safe and secure.
