Supervision with Liz Stewart

Structural Integration Group SupervisionDiscover your style and  expand your awareness.  I have had the pleasure of  meeting  Liz Stewart on a few occasions and I have also taken up supervision with Liz in relation to teaching. After graduating two groups of ATSI graduates I feel supervision is hugely important and I love that Liz is bridging this gap and helping practitioners feel less isolated. I feel this is something all practitioners should take up. I asked Liz a few questions about the importance of supervision and the main one being why ? Why should students take supervision? Read what she has to say.Julie Hammond ATSI -AU/NZ Liz StewartLiz Stewart is an Advanced Structural Integrator, International Educator,  and Supervisor/Mentor  in the bodywork community. Liz holds the passionate belief that through group or individual supervision a practitioner can best establish the framework for self-care and subsequently more fully realize themselves within their work. Her work has been described as comprehensive and deeply transformative.  Her clients refer to Liz as highly intuitive, strikingly observant, and laser sharp. She has  learned over time that an integrative approach is, by its nature, an exploratory process. We are asking, what's possible here?  We are not producing but instead engaging with the client.  Since completing her training in 1992 at the Guild for Structural Integration in Boulder, CO,  Liz has maintained a commitment to continuing education in a variety of modalities and complementary thought to support her clients and students. She trained in SI with direct students of Ida Rolf’s (Peter Melchior, Emmett Hutchins, Stacy Mills, Heather Starsong, Gael Olhgren,  Dorothy Nolte, Jim Asher, Tom Wing and others.) She also has trainings to support and inform  her SI work  in  Trauma Work, Movement Awareness, CranialSacral, Jin Shin Jyutsu, Neural/Vascular, Group Therapy and Supervision.  Her group training spans an 20 plus year period.  Liz has grown an online presence over the last 5 years that includes the founding of SIconnect, consultation, supervision, and mentoring. She also hosts an weekly online supervision program through www.Ehealthlearning.TV.
