At Pivot Workshops, you’ll learn to understand and work with your own energy—awakening intuition and living with greater clarity and purpose. Through our courses and the Pivot Academy, you’ll explore your natural extra senses and connect with higher realms of awareness, guiding you toward a more conscious and empowered way of living. We offer live in-person workshops, seminars, and online events and courses.

About The Co-Founders

Alice Shaw and Lisa Sze are both trained photographers and clairvoyants. The word clairvoyant means “clear seer,” and their work centers on the art of seeing—both visually and intuitively. Alongside clairvoyance, they possess a range of extrasensory abilities, including claircognizance (intuitive knowing) and clairsentience (intuitive feeling), among others. They met in 2010 while attending a three-year training program focused on refining psychic skills, and later co-founded Pivot Workshops.

Together, they teach self-paced online courses, live virtual events, and in-person workshops. Their archived talks are available on their YouTube channel, and each of them offers individual clairvoyant readings that support clients in their self-healing journeys.

In 2017, Alice and Lisa were invited by photographer Jim Goldberg to contribute to an installation at Minnesota Street Project (MSP) in San Francisco, in collaboration with SFMOMA for Larry Sultan’s retrospective exhibition. There, they conducted a live clairvoyant reading for the “Fake Newsroom.” In 2020, they produced Behind The Surface: Seeing Beyond What The Eyes See for MSP.tv, blending psychic readings with topical issues and leading thought-provoking discussions on consciousness.

Through their collaboration, Alice and Lisa have guided individuals to gain greater clarity and self-awareness. As teachers, they provide practical tools and intuitive guidance to help students live with more joy, clarity, and authenticity. Their work supports people in trusting their inner wisdom and creating more vibrant lives.

Alice taught photography at various colleges and institutions throughout the Bay Area for over 20 years, including UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UC Santa Cruz, the San Francisco Art Institute, and the California College of the Arts. She holds a master’s degree from the San Francisco Art Institute and is an Artadia Grant Awardee. Her work is included in the collections of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Bolinas Museum. Her book, People Who Look Like Me, was published by Gallery 16 in San Francisco, where her work is represented. In August 2017, a large-scale public artwork by Alice was permanently installed at San Francisco International Airport in International Terminal G95.

Lisa was a commercial photographer for two decades, working with a diverse range of clients, including celebrities, athletes, politicians, nonprofits, academic institutions, Bay Area tech companies, and major corporations such as MIT, Harvard, The Asia Society, Amgen, New York Life, Cisco, and Wells Fargo. Her expertise ranged from portraiture to architectural photography. Lisa attended the Academy of Art University in San Francisco and holds a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from the California Institute of Integral Studies. Through her business, Ninety Degrees Latitude, Lisa offers clairvoyant readings and energy healings.
