About Me
It’s important to trust your coach and believe they are capable of understanding your story and your struggles. This is my story. If you’re looking for more details about working together, head over to the Work With Me page.
Hi, I'm Lisa.
My mission is to provide high quality, evidence-based tools to meet the unique needs of individuals and families who want to create a life worth living, and coaches who want to help others do the same.

My story
I’ve been a daughter, niece, wife, second-wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, caregiver, friend, mentor, nurse, teacher, and coach. I’ve led large volunteer organizations within school and church settings, and developed and run intensive out-patient and partial hospital mental health programs. I created and continue to run a private coaching practice that thrives.
But I’ve also been afraid, hopeless, bullied, shamed, used, criticized, excluded, abused, and taken advantage of. I’ve experienced depression, suicidal thoughts, anxiety, and anorexia. I’ve made mistakes, experienced profound regret, grief, shame, loneliness, body image concerns, ageism, emotional abuse, invalidation, and exclusion.

These are a few of my favorite things
Dirty Dancing
I love the song, "I've Had the Time of My Life"!
Springstein’s “Born to Run” and “Man in Motion” the theme from St Elmo’s Fire.

TOFINO
We stayed at the Wickainnish Inn at the very tip of Vancouver Island. The scenery was beautiful and we saw otters in the sea and bears wandering down the road next to the cars.

60's and 70's Tunes
I saw Rod Stewart live in Boston Common wearing a granny gown and tinted glasses and I know all the lyrics to Tommy the rock opera by the Who.
Time with my granddaughter
We enjoy going to the zoo and try to do as many behind-the-scenes adventures as possible. We have a sleepover date every Saturday night!
Talking to animals
If I could have any super power, I'd talk to animals, Dr. Doolittle style.

Jimmy Fallon + James Corden
It's a toss-up! I love them both.
