Hi, I’m Lisa,
Welcome to Soul Work Therapy
As an Expressive Arts Therapist in Training, a Brainspotting Therapist, a Nervous System RESET Practitioner, and Spiritually-Informed and Integrative Therapist , my practice is dedicated your soul’s journey and evolution through a blend of therapeutic and somatic modalities and spiritually informed practices. Through this work, I invite you to step into the alchemy of Soul Work with me.
My Approach
In our work together, I integrate various therapeutic approaches to support your unique journey:
Spiritually-Informed Therapy: A spiritually-attuned, somatically grounded approach to healing, emotional regulation, and personal transformation. Soul-Informed Therapy is a unique therapeutic model that weaves together the wisdom of the body, the clarity of the mind, and the inner guidance of the soul. Rooted in trauma-informed practice, expressive arts, somatic therapies, and spiritually attuned meaning-making, this approach supports clients in reconnecting with their deepest truth.
This model honours the client’s worldview and belief system. Spirituality is never imposed — instead, it is explored gently and collaboratively, as part of a person’s natural meaning-making process.
Brainspotting Therapy: A powerful method that taps into the brain’s innate ability to heal itself, helping to process and release emotional and psychological pain including access to Holy and spiritual guides.
Expressive Arts Therapy: Utilizing creative expression as a tool for healing and self-discovery, allowing you to explore emotions and experiences through art, music, and movement.
Grief Tending: Providing compassionate support as you navigate and tend to the complex emotions of grief to help you find peace and acceptance.
Nervous System Regulation: Techniques to help calm and balance your nervous system, fostering resilience and emotional stability.
Rooted in Spirit and Soul
The work I offer is deeply rooted in spirit, nature, soul, embodiment, and alchemy. It’s a holistic approach that honors the interconnectedness of all aspects of your being. This includes the pillars of
- Presence and Attunement – safety, attunement, co-regulation, trust
- Brain-Body Processing – Brainspotting, somatic awareness, nervous system regulation
- Emotional and Creative Expression – Expressive Arts Therapy, symbolic exploration, emotional processing
- Meaning & Existential Explorati0n – exploring purpose, identity, life transitions, meaning in suffering
- Inner Wisdom & Spiritual Awareness – client-led explorations of their own innate wisdom and awareness
Embracing Transformation
Much like the moth or butterfly that embraces its metamorphic journey, you are invited to slowly open to trust the process as it unfolds. It is my hope that together, we allow the magic of our work to cocoon you as we step into the mystery of transformation. Through this process, you may gain new insights and the courage to embrace change, leading to personal growth and healing.
Join me and let us embark on this journey of self-discovery and transformation together. With each step, we will unveil the beauty and strength within you, guiding you towards a life filled with purpose and fulfillment.
How I Work.
Integrative and Holistic Therapy Approach
Building a Relational Connection
In my work with clients, I prioritize the relationship we develop. This connection is the foundation of our journey together, going beyond any specific technique or model I offer. By working in an integrative and holistic manner, I invite various modalities into our sessions to enhance your experience and foster your progress.
Exploring the Nervous System
As part of this integrative approach, we may delve into understanding your nervous system. Together, we can utilize resources to help you cultivate a felt sense of safety. This sense of security is crucial as it allows you to open up and discover what your body needs to engage in this deeply transformative work.
Humanistic Therapy Beliefs
My therapeutic philosophy is rooted in a Humanistic approach, which is inherently holistic. I believe you are already whole, complete, and amazing just as you are. With compassion and empathy, I support your ability to grow, expand, and transform into your desired self. This approach honors your past while keeping us grounded in the present moment.
My Story
My Journey of Self-Discovery
My journey of self-discovery began in the year 2000, during a pivotal moment that reshaped my life’s trajectory. I was let go from a job I thought I loved, but in reality, it was draining the life out of me. This unexpected turn of events, though initially daunting, set the stage for a transformative period of growth and self-exploration.
What I offer:
Brainspotting Therapy
Brainspotting focuses on identifying, processing, and releasing emotional and physical trauma by working with eye positions and body sensations. It was discovered by Dr. David Grand in 2003. Brainspotting is based on the idea that “where you look affects how you feel.” This therapy involves identifying a “brainspot”—a specific eye position that correlates with an emotional or traumatic experience stored in the brain and body. BSP is a gentle and powerful, focused mindfulness, brain and body based process that is rooted in neuroscience. Unlike talk therapy, you don’t need to retell difficult and painful stories about your traumatic event or experience to heal. Instead, I invite you and your body to lead in this powerful and gentle process.
Expressive Arts Therapy
Expressive Art Therapy (ExAT) is an arts-based, somatic therapy that purposefully integrates art making, movement, music, theatre, storytelling and poetry into a therapeutic experience to evoke healing, transformation and the resolution of strong emotions. No artistic skill is needed to participate in this therapeutic work. ExAT is an ancient practice with deep Indigenous roots.
Nervous System RESET
Nervous System RESET is offered as an online, 10-session program spaced out over 4 months. The NSR process educates you about the power of your nervous system and introduces you to sensory explorations and somatic practices which can empower you to recover from and better manage the impact of chronic stress, overwhelm and trauma in their lives. This program is catered for each client and their specific needs. To learn more, go here: Nervous System RESET.
