When I met Lisa, I was moving out of a very intense and difficult time in my life. I had been overwhelmed with grief and loss from care giving my parents and daughter, and I felt isolated. After spending a number of years volunteering at my daughters’ school. I was ready to move back into the work world but I knew clearly that my time in the field of Early Childhood Education (my previous career) was over.
I was longing to move into another area of that felt purposeful but had no idea what that was. I was exhausted physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually and had lost sight of myself, what I enjoyed and what my strengths were.
I found Lisa to be gentle, grounded and wise. Her approach centers around learning to connect with and listen to your soul to receive direction and through Lisa’s guidance and support I was able to reconnect with myself. My sessions with Lisa included simple, non-threatening, practical methods and teachings that helped me to release old limiting beliefs and take small soul led steps on my career path, even when the path was not in full view. Lisa also incorporated Reiki into our sessions which very much amplified the healing and discovery process.
Since working with Lisa I went from knowing that there were some skills and gifts that I could incorporate in my work, but having no idea of what those where, to having a business that includes Reiki energy healing and Creative Expressive Arts Journaling. I became certified as a methods coach and facilitator in Creative Expressive Arts and now lead creative Journal workshops throughout Chicago, and have private Reiki clients. Soon I plan to start private sessions that integrate the Reiki and Creative Expressive Arts Journaling.
I have also returned to having a daily spiritual practice that has helped me to find stillness, peace, joy. I am much more loving and compassionate with myself in my daily life and in the face of taking risks and trying new things. And I can identify and effectively address beliefs and patterns that keep me from having clarity or moving forward.
I noticed that I have more confidence to dream, set goals and move forward. I have clarity on what purposeful, joyful work is for me and I am growing a business that supports others in their healing journey. When I first started working with Lisa I never could imagine that I would be where I am now.
Working with Lisa has been a blessing! It has helped me to make big strides one small step at a time in my career and all areas of my life.
