I am happy to consult with you by phone to determine if Soul Sessions are a good fit for where you are now. Soul Sessions were created to be a safe and supportive place for women to dig into their stories, do some internal and external processing and begin the journey of holding on to what is working and letting go of what is not. Soul Sessions are all about living life on purpose. When you are able to own your part in your story, lean into growth, abandon judgement and love and accept yourself for who you are, everything begins to change.
How do I know if Soul Sessions are for me?

Where is your office?
Soul Sessions generally involve some type of homework aimed at helping you reach your goals. The homework is intentional and individualized to help ensure that you get the most out of your sessions. Homework can include insight based assessments, journaling, self-care, setting boundaries, asking for what you need, reading, moving, getting out your comfort zone, etc. Ultimately we are partnering together to set you up for success so that you have something to celebrate at every session.
What happens between sessions?
I get that! Let me try one more time….Soul Sessions are ultimately about self-care. No bubble baths, bonbons or luxurious spa retreats. Sometimes self-care feels great but when we are in the midst of growth and change, self-care can feel pretty terrible and that very well may mean it is working. The most important and effective self-care I have engaged in challenged my emotional, spiritual, behavioral and cognitive habits. If you follow me on social media, I talk a lot about not outsourcing self-care and not buying into expensive services because I strongly believe that true self-care is an internal process that cannot be bought. Too many of us have internalized the idea that if we “fix” ourselves on the outside than we will feel better on the inside. Talk about an old, tired and fake story! Soul Sessions are all about braving the inside work. I would not be where I am today without a guide to help me remain accountable to myself and stretch me beyond the limiting beliefs and stories I had set up in my mind that led me into crippling burnout over and over again. Sometimes we benefit from having a neutral guide that can hold space for us and remind us of our worthiness, who we are and what we are after. We won’t need them forever but in the midst of challenges or transitions Soul Sessions can be a tremendous gift.
i still don't get it?
This is a great question and one that comes up frequently. While I have practiced as a LCSW and have immense experience as a therapist, Soul Sessions are not therapy and I do not utilize my license in this service. Soul Sessions provide creative opportunities to help you discover your own wisdom, be your own expert and are designed to help guide you back to yourself. They are intended to help you create movement in your Iife or career by focusing on what is right and moving past the barriers that are creating a lack of movement in your life. Soul Sessions are not aimed at giving advice or “fixing” anything. Soul Sessions are about self-acceptance, self-love and learning to live as congruently as possible on purpose. Soul Sessions are not a replacement for mental health services, substance abuse treatment or other addictions. Referrals will be made as appropriate to help ensure that clients receive the quality help they need should concerns arise. Soul Sessions are confidential unless information is shared that compromises safety. All laws related to mandated reporting will be followed. Soul Sessions do not include diagnosis or treatment and are not billable to insurance companies.
How are Soul Sessions different than therapy?
Questions
Frequently Asked
Lisa's talk about self-care resonated deeply with our audience and six months after the event women still reference her talk. Lisa's preparation, delivery and emotional connection with the attendees proved she is a real pro and we can't wait to have her back next year!
"Lisa is a gifted communicator and storyteller."
Stephanie Lanier, The Inspiration Lab
I have been working with Lisa for 4 months and her professional consulting skills have helped me strengthen my personal development and bring clarity to my professional transition. Her transparency has been invaluable. I feel encouraged, inspired and challenged to grow through her compassionate dialogue and ability to encourage me to explore new ways of communicating and solving difficult issues. She is a rare find.

Lisa has that ability to put you at ease right from the start. She’s compassionate, relatable, and in tune with the personal challenges many women face. I had several “aha” moments throughout our 3-week course and felt I gained a healthier perspective on myself and how I relate to others.

Attending Lisa’s 3 week love and acceptance workshop in February has been one of the best decisions this year. In a small group setting, Lisa helped us drill down to core relational questions, assess our responses and equip us to move forward with new knowledge, skills and practical tools. She is kind and approachable, authentic and honest. A true soul sister.

My soul session with Lisa was exactly what I needed! I came to her with three real-life problems that I needed to work through. I wanted to hash it out with someone beyond my husband, sister or best friend. And I didn't want to hash out my entire past in the process. I wanted to get to work. Lisa met me right where I was and helped me see a new way to navigate a sticky relationship. She helped me kick-start a new goal more congruent with the life I want to lead. And she encouraged me to take a confident step towards success in my own coaching business. My sessions were the best gift (to myself) that I've received all year.
"Sitting down with Lisa is like talking to a friend - but a smart, savvy, objective, professional friend."
