Testimonials
“A phenomenal, relatable, motivational, and inspirational speaker”
- Youth Services Bureau
"Words can't describe how grateful I am to be able to take your workshop. I've taken away from this tools that I know will be useful for the rest of my life."
- L.P. Workshop participant
"It was so apparent that Lisa lives and breathes this stuff. She is knowledgeable, and passionate and I really don't think there is a better combination than that."
- K.N. Workshop participant
“Lisa opened up and bared her soul about her internal struggles with social anxiety. She was able to open everyone's eyes to something many struggle with, but didn't understand exactly why. Her openness makes her approachable and her honesty makes her relatable. From start to finish, you want to hear it all, fortunately, she is happy to share it.”
- Kyle Lince, Mohawk Valley College
"This program was excellent. Lisa is a sensitive and caring person who communicated how to enrich our lives by giving us tools for self-awareness and dealing with issues that held us back from a self-aware and fulfilling life."
- JJ, corporate event participant
“The C-level executives at Ketchum tuned into the talk and were highly impressed and said Lisa made the hour our best monthly call yet. Lisa truly knows how to transfer what she’s learned and experienced in her fascinatingly unique life and turn it into a beautiful presentation.”
- Samantha O’Brochta, Ketchum Public Relations
"Lisa’s personality lit up the stage. It was an absolute delight for our attendees. Her perspective added tremendous value to the program. She's articulate, she's smart, she's funny, and she's genuine, warm and friendly. But most of all, she has a story to tell.
- Donna Talarico, Hippocamp Writers Conference
Anxiety Management Workshop: yoga, writing, meditation @ Kripalu
“To define the weekend in one word? Transformative. There are not words of ‘thank you’ accurate enough to explain everything I felt and experienced.” —Kat W.
The key to inner peace lies in learning to drop the story that pulls us to the past and future so that we can truly be in the present moment. For those of us with anxiety, that seems like an impossible task, but there are proven ways to retrain the brain and create healthier habits.

Through yoga practice, meditation, writing exercises, and mindful group dialogues, Lisa will teach you
Tangible ways to understand your inner critic
How to increase compassion for yourself and others
Ways to access the joy within that often feels smothered by stress.
