About Lisa

I grew up in an abusive home where I was physically, psychologically, and sexually abused for 10 years. During this time, I was told every day that I was ugly, stupid, useless, worthless and unlovable.

Believing is seeing

I believed those abusive words, not just because I heard them for so long, but because that was what I saw unfolding all around me. Every situation in my life seemed to be shouting ‘He’s right!’ I saw everything in this way because that’s what I needed to see.

Opening my eyes

In my early twenties, I finally began to see the pattern in the mistakes I was apparently determined to repeat, over and over again. For example, I kept choosing men who were not ready, willing or able to love and commit to me.

For a long time I blamed myself, thinking I was attracting them to me because I deserved that treatment. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks – I didn’t believe I deserved better, so I wasn’t allowing myself any better. This is where I first began to learn about energy and manifestation. Unfortunately, I was attracting from a place of fear.

Driven by fear: The consequence of an abusive past

I realised that my amazing way of protecting myself from getting hurt, whether it be in relationships or in the workforce, was actually holding me back. It turns out I was preventing myself from experiencing love and success because I was so afraid of failure. I couldn’t risk “it” on the whim that it might not happen.

I had an ah-hah moment then, when I realised that the very act of shielding myself from failure WAS failure – to believe in myself, not just my abilities and worth, but in my ability to handle rejection or loss.

Changing these patterns, and my mindset was a challenge, but I did it! I taught myself just how useful, worthy, and lovable I really am. In the process, I fell in love with myself – with my strength and the beauty that lay within. Being positive became my new comfort zone.

Healing is a journey, not a destination

I continue to heal from my experiences, and my reactions to them, every day because that is what recovery really is. It is realising that I am the person I am today not despite what happened to me, but because of it.

Surrendering, and taking, control

I had no control over what happened in my past, but I do have control over how I let it influence my life now. Now I have built a life of value and worth because I know mine, and I know I deserve it. I have a family I adore, a home I cherish, and a career I am in love with.

My life is centered around empowering survivors of abuse to find their personal purpose, to build the life they deserve.

This transformation is possible for you too!

Something for everyone

Not everyone will take the same path in their healing journey, but they will have very similar obstacles to overcome. I’ve designed several programs, or streams, of healing to meet you wherever you are on your path. When you are ready, I am here.
