My Story

Hi, I’m Lisa. I’m so glad you’re here!

For many years, I worked in the corporate world—leading teams, managing events, and building my career across human resources and marketing. On the outside, everything looked steady. But on the inside, I felt something deeper calling me. Not louder—just more honest. It was a quiet urge to slow down, to realign, and to do work that felt more connected to my purpose.

That led me back to University, where I spent the next four years studying Social Science majoring in Counselling. It was the most transformative chapter of my life. Not just because of what I learned, but because of what I unlearned. I began to understand how our experiences shape us, how trauma lives in the body, and how powerful it is to be seen—fully and without judgement.

Today, I work as a counsellor, psychotherapist, educator, speaker, and podcast host. I support individuals, groups, and workplaces across Australia. Whether I’m sitting in a therapy room, leading a workshop, or speaking to a group of women, my work is always about the same thing: reconnecting people to themselves.

I believe healing isn’t linear. That grief can live beside joy. And that the most powerful work we’ll ever do is the work we do within.

If my story resonates with yours, I’d love to connect.
