// Hi! I’m Lisa // Certified Divorce Coach…Mama… Survivor!

My lens: Trauma-aware, Somatics teacher, Narcissistic Abuse Recovery, Post-traumatic growth & Resilience expert.

I guide you in breaking the chains of generational trauma by blending nervous system regulation with the power of positive psychology.

I also help with the practical and necessary parts of a divorce process.

My mission is to support, educate, and empower you every step of the way.

I am who I wish I’d had by my side during my own divorce and subsequent custody cases.

I know what it takes to pick yourself up through a breakup and divorce, and I have successfully rewired my system to be resilient af.

We can all learn to feel at home in our body, minds and life.

I believe in us, and the power of Connection, Trust and The Tools.

I will walk with you through the darkness as you remember your light…whether you are in the before, middle or after separation…

Do I stay or go?

Stuck? Torn? Unsure?

Let’s clear out the mental clutter, and come back to our true north

I’m leaving, and need help

It’s overwhelming. The practical stuff. The emotional turmoil. It’s a lot.

We need to manage your stress levels because high stress can mess with your brain’s ability to make sound decisions and regulate emotions. (More about that here.)

Dialing down your stress is crucial. I’ve got the tools and techniques I wish I’d had all those years ago, and I’m here to guide you through them. Together, we’ll stay grounded and tackle the practical issues too.

I’m staying, now what?

I have supported the recovery of relationships for 22+ years through coaching and mentoring. we will create your powerful new chapter with integrity and create a clear boundary with the past.

It’s done and I’m still struggling

Maybe you thought you were done with the hard bit, but you’re feeling stuck and unable to move on.

Perhaps you want to find out what is blocking you from starting a new relationship, or you are facing more serious issues such as post-separation abuse and/or child custody issues.

You may be experiencing anything from chronic CPTSD to a fear of starting again.

Whatever the severity, my method can help you move from this chapter to a lasting post-traumatic growth phase, developing a flexible nervous system for the rest of your life. YAY.

  • "I had been divorced for 3 years when I met Lisa and we worked through her program. I didn't see just how much my confidence, trust and judgement had been destroyed in my marriage. I was carrying so much anger and fear. Lisa helped me get free and move on with my life. I'm immensely grateful".

    Rachel - 58

  • "Having Lisa's support is like having a friend who is also an expert in the subject matter - the best of both worlds. She gave me expert advice on the paperwork and also showed me how to build my emotional strength. I'm now ready to embrace my next chapter".

    Samantha - 57

  • “My ex was dragging me through court, I was drowning in legal fees and felt totally beaten down. Working with Lisa has saved me months of back and forth and tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees. I just wish I'd started coaching earlier".

    Emma - 38

  • "Lisa guided me through the legal mess, while also being a pillar of emotional support. Now, I have a sense of purpose and clarity. Anyone facing the tumult of divorce would be fortunate to have Lisa by their side".

    Christina - 35

    Samantha - 42

  • "I really thought my life was over when my ex husband asked for a separation. Lisa took me through her program and now I have a new career, I'm financially empowered and I know what I'm looking for in my next relationship whenever that will be".

  • Somatic Trauma-Informed Coaching

    22+ years of Somatic Trauma Recovery practice and teaching,

    Regulating the Nervous System: Trauma often leaves the nervous system stuck in a heightened (fight-or-flight) or suppressed (freeze) state.

    Releasing Stored Trauma: Through body-focused techniques like movement, somatic awareness, or gentle touch, you can identify and release these physical manifestations of trauma.

    Building Resilience and Capacity: Somatic practices increase a person’s ability to tolerate and navigate challenging emotions and sensations, strengthening their overall resilience.

    Reconnecting with the Body: Trauma can create a disconnect between the body and mind, making it hard to feel grounded or present. We turn this around.

    Creating Safety and Presence: This allows us to explore their experiences without fear of retraumatization.

  • Mediation

    Mediation is a means to transform conflicts into opportunities for personal growth and improved relationships, fostering empathy, creativity, and lasting resolutions.

    It’s a collaborative process where an impartial third party assists disputing individuals in resolving conflicts through open communication and negotiation.

    This approach emphasizes understanding each party's needs and interests to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement.

  • Brainspotting

    The best modality I know of to address deep-seated trauma beyond the story. We integrate parts work and meditation to reach a place of resolution, where previously triggering events no longer have charge. Brainspotting bypasses the thinking mind, diving into the subconscious to release what's stuck and create space for profound shifts.

    By identifying "brainspots"—eye positions that connect to the brain's processing centers—it allows unresolved trauma to surface in a safe, supportive place.

    It’s an intuitive, compassionate process designed to unlock resilience and gently guide you back to wholeness, helping you move beyond the weight of the past and into the fullness of your life. We need. that after divorce!

“Divorce is never easy. Mine could have been much, much worse - for me, for my ex, and for my kids - and Lisa greatly helped keep it on a smooth track that has allowed all of us to arrive faster to a happier, healthier post-divorce life. There are a lot of bad places to get divorce advice (such as lawyers). Investing in an alternate perspective may be the best investment you ever make for you and your family’s well-being, and may save you a ton of money along the way”. - Stephanie, 40
