Liz Stewart, EIA Senior Practitioner, ESIA, is a coaching supervisor with more than thirty-five years of professional experience spanning organizational leadership, somatic practice, and group-based supervision.
Her career began at IBM, where she developed a strong foundation in leadership and systems thinking. Over time, her work expanded to include more than three decades of body-centered practice, deep engagement with psychoanalytic thinking, and long-standing experience facilitating groups and supervision.
Liz trained in coaching supervision through Oxford Brookes University and has studied within several relational and group-based traditions, including Matrixworks®, TraumaDynamics®, and modern psychoanalytic group approaches through CGS and AGPA.
Her supervision integrates somatic awareness, attachment theory, nervous system understanding, and group dynamics, drawing from modern psychoanalytic and trauma-informed perspectives.
Liz works with coaches from many professional and cultural backgrounds. In her experience, culture is not only something we think about intellectually — it is something we carry in the body. Experiences of belonging, authority, exclusion, or being “othered” often shape how people speak, listen, take up space, or hold back in professional settings.
Through her background in somatic practice, Liz pays close attention to these embodied patterns as they appear in coaching and in supervision groups. This includes the subtle ways identity, culture, power, and lived experience influence the relational field between people.
Her work supports coaches in attending to what unfolds beneath the surface of their work — helping them slow down, listen through the body, and develop greater coherence in how they relate to clients, systems, and themselves.
