About
Our Mission
Storygems is built on a simple truth: the stories we carry shape the lives we live. When we bring those stories into the light, they can be healed, re-authored, and reclaimed. This work is not about bypassing pain or fixing what’s “wrong.” It is about uncovering what has been hidden, finding the courage to face it and discovering the gems within. At its heart, Storygems is about love — the foundation of every healing, every insight, every rewritten story. We come into this life to remember that love is all there is: for ourselves, for others, for life itself.
About Liza Leeds
Liza Leeds is a self-proclaimed journeyer in personal development. For more than 35 years, she has traveled extensively — both across the world and within her own inner landscapes — devoted to understanding what it means to live with love, courage, and wholeness.
Her early years of exploration began with the stark realization that she had equated love with pain. That insight set her on a lifelong path of discovery: to unlearn old conditioning and to experience love as presence, compassion, and freedom.
Along the way, she immersed herself in psychology, spirituality, and embodied practice. She trained with Temenos/Pathways, a California organization where she studied Jungian depth psychology, shadow work, archetypes, and the connection between the heart and mind. She practiced spiritual traditions from around the world, studied mystery schools, engaged in ancestral healing, and cultivated a long-standing relationship with dreams as a guide to the unconscious.
In 2008, she began apprenticing with a Peruvian shaman whose teachings emphasized wholeness rather than brokenness — a perspective that continues to shape her work today. Liza also learned the discipline of active listening and reflection, becoming what she calls a motivational listener — someone who creates space for people to feel deeply seen and heard, and who reflects back the truths they may not yet recognize in themselves. Her work now includes psychedelic preparation and integration, trauma and shadow work, women’s circles, meditation, and energy practices that bring the unseen into the light. Through these pathways she helps people reveal the essence of who they are, reclaim their voice, and remember that they were always whole.
Liza brings presence, grounded wisdom, and an unwavering commitment to walk beside others with courage, compassion, and above all, love.
From Those Who’ve Walked the Path
Working with Liza changed the way I see myself. I came in carrying stories of unworthiness, and I left with tools — and the courage — to write something new. She holds a space that is both tender and unflinching.
Liza helped me uncover patterns I had been repeating for decades. With her guidance, I found not only clarity, but also the compassion to meet myself in those places. For the first time, I feel free to live from my wholeness.
Circle with Liza was one of the most transformative experiences of my life. To be witnessed, to be held in both shadow and light, reminded me that I am not alone. I carry that truth with me every day.
