I feel like I just got to hang out with an Angel.
— Andi Waisman, Education and Training Consultant
Lisa offers astute assessment – beyond deep listening, she very quickly understood and heard my struggles/confusion.She is a gentle guide – not standing on the sidelines, simply cheering me on to accomplish my life goals. She is holding my hand to say, how about this? She is offering her hand to gently guide me and stands with me as I face that which may be getting in my way. It is so gentle and kind that it is like having an angel by your side to accompany you.

The other blessing that Lisa offers is a genuine excitement in seeing me in my wholeness and my power. She is a champion for my best self and not only does she see it, but she reflects it back to me so that I can see it too.

Not a shaman, but shamanesque.
Not a shrink, but it feels like terrific interactive therapy.
An exemplary coach.
She zeros in on the crux of the matter (patterns, old habits, heart-centric goals, anxieties, etc.) with humor & wisdom, & helps you get clear about who you are (first job!) & what you want/need.

Encouraging, loving & kind, but doesn’t give much weight to excuses I trot out that serve to hold me back. No bullshit, unafraid to engage.
Smart smart smart, perceptive, insightful with a capital “I” !!!
Deeply personal, honest, trustworthy.
She’ll help you craft a plan to get you out of a rut. It’s always flexible, & can evolve without pressure or stress.

Lisa gets to the heart of things; meets the client wherever they may be, solidifies that place and build off that. She leverages a person’s existing strengths, even if they don’t know they have them.

Lisa’s coaching builds up various inter-related aspects of a person, such that those legs support one another’s growth and ultimately, the growth of the entire person.

She has a way of making what is initially seemingly impossible, to become possible. The way she works is effective because she makes me *want* to do the stuff that moves me forward, and it doesn’t feel too onerous.

I’m transitioning from version 1.0 to 2.0 – the newer version of myself.

Thanks so much for your perspective. You feel like a magical tour guide along this wild trip that my life is. I am seeing it all and making the journey, but you are there with the microphone to name it and help me see what it means. I am now in 100% agreement with your views on my ability to manifest (rather than market)! It has been quite unreal. You are a blessing in my life!
— Amy Woolf, Color and Design Consultant
I’m breaking old habits and you’re helping me introduce new habits. I am officially putting you into the category of miracle worker.
— Kim Gabert, Librarian
The amazing coaching you’ve given me this year has been a huge source of support for me. I’m still applying that energy. I can feel you in my head and my heart all the time. Thank you for all you’ve given me, for my life, my relationships, my work, and my overall well-being. Your ability to tune in and see what’s what is astounding and inspiring to me.

I realize that my head starts getting mucked up if I go too long between talking things through with you. My brain works better with your brain along. :-)
— Val Nelson, Career/Business/Life Coach
Working with Lisa was an amazing experience. She helped me analyze and categorize where I wanted to direct my personal growth work and helped me organize my thoughts, priorities, and actions. Lisa is approachable, thoughtful and kind ‐‐ but firm and focused. I highly recommend her. I learned so much and feel like I’m in a much better place because of our work together. Kinda like therapy, but with actionable results instead of tears and whining.
— Lexie Barnes, Creative Freelancer, Author
You are a very kind and sensitive listener and coach. It’s encouraging that maybe I am on the right path, and with your help that I can move along a bit faster. You always make me feel like I’m returning to see a good friend, who is encouraging and has great advice, and that’s a good thing.
— Mark Knox, Artist and Entrepreneur

Thank you for who you are, Lisa, not only for your skillful ways of being human, but also for your incomparable spirit.
— Carlyn Saltman, Executive Presence and Business Communication Coach; Career Coach at SIT Graduate Institute
Many years ago, my business was at a very low point and I was prepared to call the whole thing off! It was time to stop this nonsense of being in business and once again begin the dreaded job search. Knowing Lisa to be a life coach, I decided to call her for some quick, practical tips for reentering the workforce - ten minutes, tops. I actually felt a little pride in my decision and was in no way prepared for what I got instead! An hour and a half later, I was performing CPR on my business with a passion I didn’t believe I was capable of.

Years have gone by and my business and I are still the best of friends. What I’m most grateful for in that brief encounter with Lisa, is all the ways in which I have been able to make a difference in other people’s lives through this business that almost wasn’t. For such a brief encounter, that’s a pretty amazing return! But that’s Lisa…
— Jim, jsadlerdesign.com
I am so very grateful for your compassionate yet directed and clear presence and ways of Being with me. Our conversation, as did before, had a huge impact on me and for that I am so very grateful. Lisa, I am so grateful for you and your amazing ability to hold space for people like me.
— A.A., Visionary, Mentor, Musician
I love that I hired you! You hung in there through those times that were dicey. You are a guiding light. I feel like I have been in the laboratory. Now I feel like I can do this! I wish I could bottle this conversation! You are a present I give myself. You just offer such clarity and a basket of goodies.
— Carol Scheier, Quilter
I feel great, vibrant and happy, practicing resting in my breath and allowing my timeless wise woman to share the space with my 18 year old ‘Betty’. Lots of nice little life affirming gifts have been ‘popping up’ here and there. I appreciate your presence, questions, kindness, witnessing, holding space, encouragement and wisdom.
— L.F., Yoga Teacher
Lisa, thank you so much for coaching me and for setting a financial scale that makes it possible for me to do such important self‐work. I like you. And I like your balance of calmness and challenge in questioning my motives in a compassionate and humorous way. I look forward to our next session and for the changes to come.
— C.H., Therapist and Coach
Thank you so much for the gift of your work with me. It is helping me so much in so many ways – I can’t begin to express it in words – but your gentle but firm presence is making a real difference in my life.
— D.S., Writer
The coaching and compassion from you is a vital piece of who I am and who I am becoming in my ‘new life’. Thank you.
— Mahashakti, Life Coach
Amazing, thrilling! Everyone’s impressed. Our correspondence goes into the “LISA SAVE YOUR LIFE” folder.... Your work made and continues to make a big difference in my daily life. It’s a long haul to change habits, but I can really hear your voice loud and clear.
— P.S., Writer, Teacher and Mother
Lisa has helped me to refresh my life when I feel stuck and overwhelmed. She has helped me to see clearly my own desires and my own path; she encourages me when I am feeling hopeless and helps me brainstorm steps to move my life forward. Always focusing on the positive, she helps me feel my own courage, and she can see clearly the heart of the people she serves without judgment.
