Hi, I’m Lisa
I’m so glad you’re here!
As a coach, facilitator, conscious dance teacher and healer, I love to catalyze individuals and groups to remember their innate wholeness and move with the flow of life toward their next level of positive impact in their families, work and communities.
I’m here to help my fellow humans move with the flow of life so that we can be centered in our humanity and our divinity, and respond to the needs of the world around us skillfully and with love.
movement Ministry
Movement is the nature of life. We are always moving with life’s changes - internally and externally. .
We can’t change in life unless you move! We have to be more fluid and find new shapes to move through change with more ease and intention.
Ministering is “attending to the needs of.”
My work is to attend to the needs of people like you who are moving toward being empowered, true to yourself, leading effectively, and having a positive impact.
How you move through the world determines your own experience of your life, as well as what you can do for the good of the humans and living beings around you.
I help you to move forward on your path with intention and purpose, whether it’s through coaching or conscious movement/dance.
My Why
My work is healing work. It helps you to reclaim your truth, your self, your choices, and your wholeness.
When we remember that we are souls in bodies living a life on Earth, we can see that Life is a miracle. We remember that we are connected, that we are part of a larger picture. We feel that our lives have meaning because we are having an impact on others every day.
There is big healing when we go beyond the mind and integrate the spiritual and physical aspects of ourselves.
Healing literally changes you. It removes the blocks to being fully yourself, internally and in the world. It allows our hearts to open and to see the truth of our interconnections. This is empowerment.
To be fulfilled and to be of service to others, you must be your full self. A whole person.
I work with the wholeness of each person, each relationship and each group to unlock potential and wisdom that is ready to be expressed in the world.
Wholeness is accessed on the levels of the body, heart, mind and soul/spirit.

My Values
These are some of the core values and truths that shape my life:
Living with a sense of the sacred in daily life is essential.
I believe in direct personal experience as a way of knowing. I don’t have to see it to believe it; I have to sense/intuit/know/feel it to believe it. I love the rich, visceral, sensory stuff of life.
I prefer variety⏤I am a Renaissance Soul with a breadth of interests and I love to take on new challenges.
A healthy environment underlies everything. Nature and living systems are sacred. I act on my deep concern about environmental destruction and the disproportionate impact on the health of marginalized communities.
I believe in working at the systemic level whenever possible. We are all connected, so positive change in one area of a system affects the rest of the system.
I am on my learning journey of how to re-imagine and heal systems that are oppressive, racist and unequal. I work to stop being food for destructive systems and instead to work together for more diversity, more difference, more inclusion and more voices.
While I am strongly aware of problems of the whole planet and want to see more action on them, I am also optimistic about the future and actively creating new and better ways of living together on our planet.
Relationships are what keep us together. I practice and recover back to practicing right relationship whenever possible.
My Roots
These people, places, and practices have shaped me and inform who I am in the world and what I bring to my work with others.
