Meet Lisa
Trauma-Informed Somatic Mindfulness Coach and Facilitator
Hello, I'm Lisa. I am a Trauma-Informed Somatic Mindfulness Coach, Adler-trained Executive Coach, and Somatic Stress Release Practitioner focusing on self-reconnection, nervous system empowerment, and burnout recovery. I support overwhelmed leaders and care providers in transforming their stress response so they can reclaim agency and thrive in all areas of life.
​
As a former Corporate Change Agent and Human Resources Business Partner with over 25 years of experience in high-performing senior leadership roles, I understand how our 24/7 "always on" culture keeps many caring, high-performing people in a state of overwhelm and exhaustion.
Decades of 60-hour work weeks and high-needs parenting left me in a state of disconnection and depletion. When I experienced a series of shock traumas and losses in my early 40s, I started experiencing nervous system dysregulation in the form of anxiety, insomnia, muscle spasms, headaches and digestive problems. I pushed through escalating symptoms of burnout to the point of collapse, developing a debilitating illness that kept me bedridden and in pain for over a year.
My body kept the score, and I was forced into stillness for the first time in my over-scheduled, adrenaline-filled life. Despite this predicament, part of me knew there was a way back to regulation and purpose-led contribution.
​
Talk therapy and working with a Naturopath paved the way to discovering somatic mindfulness, transformational coaching and The Stillpoint Method for healing complex trauma. I committed to healing my mind-body system and started recreating my life and career from the inside out. I am a change maker, cycle breaker, and lifelong learner who, since November 2021, has attended weekly classes and daily somatic mindfulness practice with Senior Meditation Teacher and Elder Lynn Fraser.
​
If you're ready to receive the support of a trauma-informed coach and somatic mindfulness guide, allow me to support you on your journey of self-reclamation.
