Hello Sweet Friend!

​

Its hard to know where to begin and what to share so hopefully below are a few things that will help you get to know me a little bit better.

​

For me, life is definitely a journey and one I didn't plan or expect.  I grew up in the military and moved quite frequently.  Its hard to plan when you know eventually you will be leaving. 

​

In the mid-1990s, my mother passed away. I was 26. I subsequently suffered depression, chronic fatigue and a debilitating Candidiasis diagnosis. I was completely worn out, mentally and physically, and conventional medicine offered no solutions. 

​

I turned to "alternative medicine" and began to heal. It was a long and slow journey.  Access to quality food, supplements, herbs and homeopathy was limited. I was an outlier among my friends and family; forging an uncharted path. Little did I know that being a outlier was part of my journey.

​

I would continue that path while raising my children, choosing not to follow conventional ways of parenting and instead adopting a more natural, gentle approach. I followed my intuition, without even knowing that was what I was doing, and learned that others wanted to do the same.

​

I began building my community by starting a local chapter of the Holistic Moms Network. This is where my confidence grew, I felt known and normal. This became my tribe!  We all need a tribe. My tribe supports me still.

​

Eventually the deep work had to be done. And I spent time going inward, developing the tools I needed (tools we all need) to get through life's struggles. I found out what I truly value and how to live in line with those values. I became intimate friends with my intuition. I learned how to heal; physically, intuitively, and energetically. And I determined I wanted to help others do the same.

​

My life is full right now but it hasn't always been.

I've given away pieces of myself to the limiting beliefs I held deep within and to the expectations of others. I've held onto thought patterns and stories that no longer served me. I've lost things I've loved. And I've moved through those things, sometimes gracefully, sometimes not.  Life may not always be easy but it doesn't have to be overwhelming or draining.  I've learned through my experiences and the wisdom of those who have come into my life; my mentors, teachers and friends.  I am still learning.

If there is any part of my journey that can help make yours easier, please reach out.

I hope our paths cross soon.

​

Love & Friendship,

​

Lisa
