I connected with Lisa after one of her book presentations. At that point I had recently made a major change in my life. I’d quit my unfulfilling, stressful job as an office manager, and opened my own art studio. Of course, it took some work to get it up and running, but I had a lot of help and support from my family and I appeared to be on the right track.
Then I started having doubts and anxiety, second-guessing every decision I was making. I was even questioning if having my own art studio was what I was really supposed to be doing.
Although, initially at Lisa’s presentation, my intention was to just learn about her book, I felt a connection as I listened to her story, and felt I needed Lisa’s one-on-one guidance.
In our first couple of meetings, I was still skeptical and feeling embarrassed and indulgent for “following feelings/signs” and reluctant to bring up old wounds. I thought to myself, “I’m 52 and I’ve been there done that. I’ve had business mentoring, have confided and been supported with a difficult childhood therapeutically and have been on a spiritual path finding some comfort in yoga and meditation.”
But, as we continued I found Lisa genuinely warm, caring and supportive. She is easy to talk to, wise and intuitive and she was able to show me how my past wounds were connected to my present anxiety about work.
I liked that she could help me on a practical level with being business owner. For example, helping me get clear on the focus of my business, my marketing approach, and practical ideas to enhance my website.
I also appreciated that in the beginning we mapped out a direction for our work together. Often as I took steps based on our discussion feelings and fears would get triggered from past wounds. When this happened Lisa, would not only help me identify the fears, but she would also offer me exercises I could do to embrace the parts that held these fears, which then helped me to let the fears go.
Additionally, I really like Lisa’s book and the video meditations and teachings she shares via her newsletter. They are concise and really clarify and enhance each other. Her message is clear and consistent and helps to support the one-on-one work that we have done.
No matter what your spiritual beliefs are Lisa gently shows you how to listen, receive, and trust your own internal wisdom and guidance. Because of the work I did with Lisa I am better at differentiating the messages from my soul and the ones that come from different parts of me that have gotten scared and may want to block my soul’s guidance.
I am calmer, more trusting and patient with myself. I feel I have the tools to work with parts that are feeling critical, unsure or anxious without feeling overwhelmed. I also have a clearer intention and process for my meditation practice.
My work with Lisa has put me on the route to more self-acceptance and confidence in my gifts and the decisions I make for my career. This is helping me find more joy and fulfillment in my work. I am also more trusting that I will always be supported and led where I need to go.
