Who is Eliza?

Evidence-based certified meditation teacher

I used to run from my mind, scared of the overwhelm and panic inside. Through a daily meditation practice and learning Buddhist philosophy, I have discovered the clarity and power that was in my mind all along. My workshops bring this clarity to the office.

I am a scientist and a data-nerd at heart and my workshops are grounded in the latest research on meditation and other mindfulness practices.

I am not religious, and meditation is not inherently religious. Meditation is a tool to train the mind to be more focused, aware, and flexible. Meditative practices can be found in many religious and non-religious traditions throughout the world. I practice and teach from the Tibetan Buddhist lineage because Buddhists have been obsessed with studying and training the mind for thousands of years. The amount of information they have gathered is incredible, and I haven't found a better map of the mind. However, my workshops are accessible and appropriate for all regardless of your background or spiritual approach.

I completed my 200-hr Meditation Teacher Training at Three Jewels in NYC in 2024.

The basics:

• Education: Harvard (Applied Mathematics)

• Location: LA -> Utah -> New Zealand -> Venezuela -> Poland -> Boston -> SF -> NYC

• Professional: Data Scientist, Writer, and Meditation Teacher

• Interests: psychology, meditation, writing, company culture

I believe that compassion, confidence, focus, and courage can all be cultivated. I believe that in 50 years meditation will be as popular as exercising the body. I believe that we change the world by changing our minds.
