ABOUT LISA

So…what is my background?

I won’t bore you with too many details as I’ve had a garden variety of experience in the working world. I’ve worked in the corporate office environment, the food industry and I delivered newspapers for many years which enabled me to be home with my children. The next phase of my journey took me back to school and a career within the aviation industry.

So…why a coach?

While I was busy raising a family and starting a new career, I eventually had the feeling their was something more for me. I was still searching. Searching for answers, searching to feel better. I always thought that “this would be it”, whatever “this” happened to be at the moment. I’ve always been an avid reader, and I have always been drawn to self help books. I can’t get enough of them. I love to read them and then try to apply what I’ve learned. Like most people, I’ve hit my rough patches in life. Some rougher than others. Sometimes it’s hard to find our way so we seek help from others. Some choose therapy. I myself have done so. Although I did find it helpful, it may not be for everyone. Relatively healthy people that just feel like crap or seem to be stuck.. whether in be emotionally or financially, don’t always need to go down that road. It’s a personal choice, however, it’s good to know their are options.

Years ago I had read a book written by Martha Beck called “Finding Your Own North Star” and I was completely smitten. Years later I would read another book by Martha called “Steering by Starlight”. This time I knew for sure I wanted to make this coaching philosoply part of my life and help others make it a part of theirs. I signed up for her coach training program and that was the beginning of my coaching journey. I have been fortunate enough to have been mentored by some of the best coaches in the industry. I continue to read, grown and learn to be better for myself as well as for my clients.

I am a Certified Life Coach as well as a Certified Relationship Coach.  I received my training from Dr. Martha Beck, author and Life Coach as well as a columnist for O, the Oprah magazine.

I recently completed my certification as a Money Coach from the Life Coach School with Master Coaches Brook Castillo and Meadow DeVor.
