“I found Liz for manual lymphatic drainage after breast cancer surgery, and she has been amazing. She helped reduce pain and swelling across my chest area and entire body. Liz is knowledgeable and well-trained in the Vodder method. Her hands are patient, respectful and truly intuitive. After just a few sessions, my body drained the excess water weight, and it even helped my joint pain! Now I see her for maintenance and feel so much better. I highly recommend Liz for professional and caring treatment.“

Liz has been treating me for nearly two years during a period when I have been challenged by cancer therapies. Her treatments have helped me enormously. She has kept my digestive system on an even keel, has helped my neuropathy from chemotherapy to subside to the point that I do not really remember that I have it most of this time (Liz uses reflexology for this), has transformed my energy level, has helped to keep me on an even emotional keel, has vastly improved my posture and has assisted me with specific problems.“ Saône B.

“I have known Liz for over 5 years. I was dealing with a very painful SI joint, had gone through steroid injections and many other procedures, and was awaiting insurance approval on an SI joint fusion surgery. Liz helped me immediately, kept me sane, and allowed me to improve my functionality. Her techniques are very effective and are customized to her clients’ needs. On a personal note, I have found Liz to be a very caring and compassionate practitioner who truly knows what she is doing. Holistic and even spiritual in nature, she truly loves helping people. I strongly recommend her services to anyone in search of a true professional.“

“I developed sciatica in my early 40’s, resulting in a pinched nerve and occasional numbness in my right three middle toes. The visit to the chiropractor provided short term relief for my sciatica, and back and shoulder pain from university days playing tennis. My wife suggested I try shiatsu by Liz Hoffmann. Skeptically I agreed. I have been going to Liz once a month for the past two years. Her ability to relieve stress and pain through the release of various pressure points and muscles has my body more aligned, flexible and stronger. I have more feeling in my toes. My back and shoulder pains are few. I leave the sessions stress free and relaxed. I am healthier physically and mentally and am able to actively do all the things that I enjoy (skiing, tennis etc.) without pain. My sessions with Liz strengthen my body, relieve stress, and provide overall a better quality of life. Liz is not only competent in shiatsu, but is a wonderful caring compassionate person. I recommend her and her shiatsu.“G. R., New Jersey

“After our last session, I felt so centered and relaxed and the tendonitis in my left arm was less painful and bothersome. It really was a turning point.“ S.L., VA

“I had an amazing experience of having shiatsu massage by Liz on the day of my GMAT exam. I was feeling tense and decided to have a shiatsu session just before the exam. I felt highly relaxed and energized by the session and in fact my GMAT score jumped by 90 marks with respect to my earlier test. I will always be thankful to Liz for that session. She is amazing! Thank you Liz!!!“ Mukul, New Jersey

“Working with Liz is like being in a constant flow. It was my first shiatsu session, but I know skill and years of training always show in the seamlessness of the way an hour passes.“A.L. New York City

“Liz's approach to shiatsu is the best I have ever experienced and I have been enjoying her healing ways for many years. She helped me through breast cancer and many difficult times. I find the benefits from the shiatsu last for days afterwards - longer than a regular massage. Liz is a true healer!“ M.O., Princeton, NJ

“I make scheduling with Liz a priority. I appreciate how she works with various injuries and conditions. She really notices where I need attention at the time and focuses on what is most important--this distinguishes her from other body-workers.“ Anonymous

“I travel for business almost 50% of the time, enduring long plane rides, variable mattresses, and stressful meetings. I love coming home to my regular shiatsu sessions with Liz. They restore balance while giving immediate and lasting relief to my achy body and weary spirit. Recently, a NY cabbie's impatient departure injured my upper arm and I feared I would require medical attention. With Liz's use of therapeutic essential oils and shiatsu skills, the muscle pain dramatically reduced overnight and normal mobility returned within days. For overall well-being and pain management, Liz's shiatsu and reflexology treatments have been an essential part of my work-life regime.“
