TESTIMONIALS
Before Lisa, I was completely stuck and felt like something big was missing (it was me). As things started getting out of control, I started holding on tighter which made everything worse. I could see a vision of what I wanted but had no clue how to get there.
From our first session together, Lisa immediately came to the table with vast knowledge and incredible insight. She acted as my guide and lovingly pushed when I needed pushing. It was the first time in my life where I have really felt unconditional support no matter what I said. When I couldn’t see the answers, she lovingly would not let me off the hook–rather she pointed out options and encouraged me to find creative solutions to any challenges that came up.
Now that I’ve been working with Lisa for almost a year, I find that my temper is more even. I have a different calm inside of me even when I am having a challenging moment. I know that challenges will always be part of the path of expansion, but. I no longer feel the complete despair I used to feel over going through a challenge and am learning to honor and actually enjoy the process.
I can now enjoy appreciating the present state, even when things aren’t perfect and am learning more and more each day to be okay where I am and to be compassionate towards myself and my own process.
Working with Lisa has also allowed me to detox several of the big relationships in my life.and start creating my heart family. I’m speaking my truth more, am more connected to my inner Goddess, have a self-care ritual and feel stronger. I’ve lost weight and in seeking pleasure through Lisa’s work with me, I’ve rediscovered my love for the outdoors.
If you’re hesitating–listen up–You are worth it! Take the best step of your life and invest in your happiness and future. This will change your life! I took the leap for me, for my future, for my children and for my primary relationship. I do not regret one moment of this, it has been the most productive and fastest growing experience I have ever had. What I put into it, I got out of it in spades!
Meeting Lisa has been one of the best things that has ever happened to me and I am so glad I took notice and listened to my intuition to jump in with both feet.
"When I first started working with Lisa, I wanted to raise my way of eating to a higher level. I wanted to make sure I was getting all the nutrition I should. I wanted to diagnose a couple heath issues I had and see if changing my eating would solve them.
Lisa really provided a safety net that doesn't allow us to sell ourselves short, or cheat ourselves. She is good at that. Gently holding us accountable but firmly kicking our tush too! :-)
Lisa kept bringing me back to 'myself' when I felt disconnected or acted out in my life and in my food choices in a disconnected way. She is also excellent at making that process safe, and getting me to do it too. 'Being nurturing' was a lesson I'd lost the habit of. and she got me back to nourishing and nurturing myself by putting emphasis on self care and by showing me what foods are in fact highly nutritious. Where else do we find that in our society of food marketers? She also taught me about how to follow a way of eating to reduce candidiasis and actually got me back into cooking!
As a result, I've gotten back to my "thin" weight, the weight I was in my 20's, but with almost no effort at all. If I eat at home, it's effortless now. When I go out to eat in the city, that will always be an effort, of course, but I know the right choices to make when I go out to restaurants now without feeling deprived. Only in my youth and when in love, have I ever been my ideal weight, with no effort, so this has been one of the astounding results of our work together--to be back to this weight at my current age, again, with no effort whatsoever. I'm also amazed at what the food journaling exercises that Lisa gave me, revealed. I am just gobsmacked.
I'm more at peace with my eating/body/weight, more at ease. I'm happy to report it's now a non-issue (apart from now not fitting into any of my winter pants because they are too big on me b/c of my weight loss!! lol). I'm living that elusive goal most women have of just not worrying about it and feeling great. I work out a lot and now I like that too. But I now have more energy to apply to other things I want to be productive in, vs droning on about wishing I didn't have that last bit of weight I hate having. I'm lighter and freer to just define myself in other areas. and that, is a gift.
Work with Lisa--do it. It's a life-long gift to yourself. Think about how much we'll spend on clothes in 1-2 seasons, or how much we'll spend on other things that don't give us the life lasting changes that working with Lisa will give you. I consider my work with Lisa as saving my life. eating a higher ANDI score diet. These foods do so much in the short term - thinner effortlessly, no cravings contributing to the 'sane-ness quotient of your life'. You also save a lot of money in the long run because you're investing in your health, and you don't go out to restaurants as often once you learn how to cook nutritious meals for yourself that are quick and easy. I know that long term I it has saved my life from a cancer tumor that now won't grow from my good diet. And so many other ailments waiting in the wings for people who aren't eating this diet that mankind did for millenia before we went off track.

Emotionally, the conversations we have had have been life-altering. Lisa helped me to get to the root cause of things that have blocked me from moving forward in so many areas of my life. I am truly grateful for that.
I feel more confident, am more accepting of myself, less judgmental. There's a whole new way of looking at just about everything, and it is full of joy and pleasure! And HOPE, I have that now, too, about so many things.
Working with Lisa has just changed the way I see myself, my world, and everyone in it.
If you’re thinking of working with Lisa, GO FOR IT--it will change your life for the better.

Lisa is one of the most emotionally insightful coaches I've ever worked with. She taught me that the way you do one thing is the way you do everything, which really opened my eyes to some of the counterproductive habits of thinking and behaving that were keeping me stuck in my life and in my health. She delved all the way back to the origins of my limiting beliefs and always kept me focused on my present situation and future goals. She held me accountable and kept me on track (painlessly!!). It is almost like she saw right through me and touched the core of my biggest obstacles, which weren't the superficial ones I thought they were.
When I first came to Lisa I had issues with my nutrition. I also felt lost in the kitchen and was not cooking at home as much as I wanted to. I felt a sense of isolation having moved to a new community and felt I wanted a community of my own. As a mom with 2 kids, it was hard for me to balance my own career as a health & wellness expert and the needs of my family. There was a lot of stress going on with my family. As a result, my self-care was severely lacking and it was beginning to affect all the areas of my life. I felt depressed and alone. I lacked confidence to face the public with the health message I wanted to put out there and I was constantly worrying about family issues.
Lisa began changing my life right from the beginning! She helped me get organized both in my household and my business by helping me implement systems that worked for me. She taught me how fully feeling my feelings wouldn't kill me and that instead it was the key to success in the areas of my life I wanted change in. She helped me set healthy boundaries with toxic situations and people. She challenged my fear of imperfection, which had been immobilizing me and preventing me from taking action towards my goals. She helped me align my deepest desires with possibility--whereas before I'd just experience negativity and feelings of "that won't happen" whenever I thought of my deepest desires. She also helped me become aware of how having more fun and experiencing more pleasure was actually what set me free, as opposed to negative self-punishing thoughts and actions.
I am proud to say that I am now cooking home-made healthy dinners for my family almost every night of the week. I have become strong enough to make decisions that will protect and honor my own health and well-being first and foremost, without feeling guilt or shame. I have stopped picking at my skin (a self-destructive habit I had developed). I am now six months pregnant and I am eating so well that I've only gained 5 pounds, which falls under the ideal weight gain range for a woman at my stage of pregnancy. With my two previous pregnancies, this had not been the case, so I'm very happy about that.
Working with Lisa has also improved the quality of my relationship with my husband. Because I care for myself better now, I feel more attractive. I am also no longer afraid of putting my business on hold while I get ready for the birth of my third child--this was something I had been wanting to do deep down inside, but was afraid of admitting to myself due to self-limiting beliefs that Lisa helped me blast through. As a result I feel much more at peace.
Lisa, thank you for calling forth all the little miracles I had waiting for me all along! You made me understand that I do matter in this world and that I am worth the effort required to care for myself and have my needs met. It was an honor and a blessing to have you as my guide!
