Understanding the effects of stress and working under pressure come from her knowledge and years of experience in the corporate world as well as law firms, as paralegal and legal assistant. 

In 1992, Liza was scheduled to undergo her third surgery for ovarian cyst when she was referred to a hypnotherapist. After four sessions of hypnotherapy, she was able to heal herself, making the surgery no longer necessary. This powerful experience with hypnosis and guided imagery, combined with her natural talent for listening and understanding, led her to this science to help others. 

She went on to study with Gil Boyn, (Master Hypnotist and Hypnotherapist, developer of Transforming Therapy, founding father of Rapid Induction and past president of A.C.H.E.) receiving her diploma in 1996. The scope of Liza's practice includes -Traditional and Ericksonian Hypnotherapy, Gestalt Therapy and occasionally and Past Life Regression.

In 1996 she founded InnerSite, and has since been growing her practice to a full healing center. Her caring presence, energy, experience and enthusiasm for these subjects make her an inspiring and effective guide.  Liza is committed to helping others reach their full potential through the healing of mind, body and emotions.  She also provides variety of presentations, workshops and trainings for the general public. Liza has been invited on numerous local radio and TV programs and is becoming quite known for her “Hypno-Massage” (using hypnotic suggestions while massaging) and her talks on:  “Listen to Your Body Talk”, and “Don’t expect change, Be the Change” are in demand with companies and organizations throughout. 

Liza can work with anyone for anything because she gets to the root cause of the problem rather than just putting a band-aid on the symptom. This way the symptoms will not return later in life nor will they be replaced with something else.

Having a great love for her community, Liza is currently participating in, or has participated in, numerous organizations and boards such as:  The Kiwanis Club of Glendale, Executive Toastmasters, Verdugo Hills Business and Professional Women, The Salvation Army, The American Cancer Society, Glendale AIDS Awareness and various Chambers of Commerce.  She has lived in Glendale, California since 1974 and is fluent in English, Armenian and Farsi.
