Hi- I’m Lisa and here’s a bit of my story:)
A friend asked me recently how I got into coaching. She said, “It just fits you.”
I laughed, because it does. But it wasn’t magic. It was years of life training for this.
When I was 22, I moved to Chicago with two stuffed suitcases and a lot of nerve. I rode the Amtrak into a city where I knew almost no one. I had big dreams, a fast heartbeat, and the kind of confidence you only have when you don’t know what can go wrong yet!
I built my career in advertising and marketing. I worked hard and experienced Chicago, Philly and then Rochester. I learned how to solve problems, lead teams, and keep clients happy. I loved the energy. I loved the creativity. I even got to work on a campaign with Ray Charles. Yes, that Ray Charles.
From the outside, it looked exciting. And it was.
But there was another side to it.
The pressure was heavy. The stress was constant. The anxiety was loud. There were days it felt like the job was trying to swallow me whole. I knew I couldn’t keep living like that and call it “success.”
So I started looking for calm.
I found it in quiet mornings. In yoga. In meditation. In learning how to breathe again. Those practices didn’t just help me survive my career. They helped me come back to myself.
And as the years went on, I started to notice that no matter what job I had, the same things kept showing up.
🔸 I do my best work when I’m part of a team and great ideas are allowed to win.
🔸 I’m a mentor at heart. I keep relationships for a long time, because I truly care about my people.
🔸 I believe in growth. Mine and everyone around me
Eventually, I realized I was ready for my next chapter - something more human, more real, more meaningful.
That’s what what brought me to coaching and today I’m deeply passionate about helping women through the real physical and emotional challenges of perimenopause and menopause.
This time can feel confusing and lonely and my goal is give women tools that actually work. Tools that help them feel steady, strong and like themselves again!
I’m here to help you build a life that feels good to live in!
