Hi, I'm Liz Tenuto, (aka The Workout Witch) and I'm changing the way this generation deals with stress & trauma...

Liz Tenuto specializes in healing the physical effects of stress & trauma. Liz is on a mission to make somatic healing popular and accessible. As a childhood SA survivor, Liz learned what abuse was at an unusually young age. She experienced abuse and dv in her marriage as well.

She lived with chronic pain & unexplained health conditions in her teens and early 20s. After trying everything (yoga, massage, chiropractors, doctors, acupuncture, meditation), Liz tried somatic exercise. After her first 4 lessons, her chronic pain and years-long battle with insomnia was almost gone. 

Training:
With a Degree in Psychology from UCSB, certifications in Pilates and Reiki, 6 years of mentorship in teaching Feldenkrais by Augusta Moore, and 15 years of hands-on teaching experience, she's been changing the conversation around how trauma and stress affect the body for 15 years. 

By utilizing somatic exercises, she's helping today’s generation heal from the unexplained pain that doctors can't treat, be free from the trauma you’ve been putting off, and introduce you to the way your body is supposed to feel. 

Impact:
Liz has helped over 200,000 women heal from trauma and long-term stress with her viral online courses. Liz now has more than 4 million followers across platforms on social media, with over 30 million views on some of her TikTok videos. She has thousands of testimonials from students who've had huge transformations with her courses, many of which are published on her website and Instagram highlights. 

Press: 
Liz has been featured in USA Today, BBC News, Harper's Bazaar France, MSN, NY Weekly, LA Weekly, Shoutout LA, among several others. She's been a guest on podcasts with Herfirst100K, Danielle Robay, CEO School, and The Cool Mom Co. Her first book "Moving Through Trauma: A Somatic Guide To Healing" is getting published on January 20, 2026 by HarperCollins. 

Personal:
When she's not teaching, Liz loves dancing, trying new restaurants in LA, and snuggling with her chihuahua, Foxy. She just started playing chess and learning Italian this year too. 

Her dream is to create a fund for emergency grants for women leaving abusive relationships.
