- POST TRAUMATIC STRESS/HEALING TRAUMA: Find closure and relief from PST and PTSD symptoms through hypnotic, somatic trauma therapy, and psychosensory therapies. Lisa uses a mindful based trauma informed approach to help her clients not only release and heal their trauma(s) but to also find a sense of empowerment. Trauma comes when we cannot defend or protect ourselves or leave a situation that feels threatening in some way. Trauma also comes in the form of loss and grief. It is the incompletion of these events that keep them looping in your mind and nervous system. Recent studies show that traumatic stress disorders can be inherited genetically. Often the trauma will live in the body for a while until it eventually becomes triggered and elicits a response. With Mindful based Somatic Trauma Therapy (Somatic Experiencing®) you can return to the aliveness and sense of wellbeing you once felt (see resource page for links and suggested reading).
- RELATIONSHIP COACHING: Improve your personal and professional relationships by understanding automatic human behavior such as; attachment styles (how we bond and connect to others), healthy communication skills, healing codependent patterns and language, reflective listening tools to get the results you desire (see resource page for links and suggested reading).
- STOP SMOKING: 3-session program with an average 90% success rate if you are truly motivated on a scale of 1-10 and are at least a 6 to 7 of wanting to quit you will most likely have great success! If you are somewhere in the middle I have seen varied results but working together we can get you to your goal as a non smoker, it might take a few more sessions than the 3 package basic program. (custom MP3's included)
- SPIRITUAL GROWTH: Through Meditation, Mindfulness, Reiki healing, Breath Work & Inner Reflection you can deepen your spiritual awareness and manifest great love, happiness, stillness, peace and success into your life (see resource page for suggested reading).
