Liz Stewart

Liz Stewart, BCSI, GSI, is an advanced Structural Integration Practitioner based in Boulder, Colorado. She trained in 1991-1992 with The Guild For Structural Integration in Sao Paulo, Brazil and Boulder, Colorado with direct students of Ida Rolf, Ph.D. She has an extensive background in Mentoring both with groups and individuals and has been offering mentoring support within the SI community for over 15 years.

As a life long learner, liz recognizes the need to fill in the gaps from her basic education to attend to all the “other” aspects of being with clients, running a practice and most importantly, being a practitioner. For Liz this path has led her to discover and work with teachers and guides that would help her develop more balance in her work. This has included working with direct women students of Ida Rolf’s, and advancing her studies to include: movement awareness, Somatic Experiencing, Trauma Dynamics, DARe Attachment work, Group Dynamics, Modern Psychoanalysis, NeuroVascular touch, Cranial Sacral and Visceral therapies.

In 2009, Liz had a pivotal teaching experience which helped her recognize the benefit of stepping away from teaching to develop herself to be a more effective educator by studying group dynamics and having a focus on attachment and the nervous system for the group body. This took liz on a journey which she is still on, that includes both professional trainings for group dynamics, ongoing supervision, and to be a leader, requires she also attend to the personal work around the many “ism’s” including: race, gender, age, size.

Currently, Liz has a thriving practice in Boulder, CO. She runs a 501c(3) non-profit called Postures for Peace which brings Structural Integration and attachment education to areas throughout the world in need, and she has launched a mentoring program for students, practitioners, educators within the Structural Integration community so that there is support at every level.

If you get the opportunity to be in class with Liz, her approach is engaging, relational, connective and supportive, much like the fascial network that holds our bodies together. Her understanding of tensional forces, integration, and connection creates a more joyous and creative working relationship.

Liz’s work has been described as “comprehensive, deeply transformative, highly intuitive, observant, and fun.”
