Dedicated to her own self-study and growth, she is deeply committed to helping others learn and grow. Grounded in experiential learning methodology and trained in presence-based practices, Lisa uses an inquiry-based approach that facilitates personal choice and empowers clients to discover a sense of agency and clarity as they find the answers and guidance within.Lisa's journey to leadership coaching and training began at a young age; growing up on a dairy farm in Lancaster, PA and participating in youth leadership and development activities such as 4-H, Pony Club, and Soccer. By age 13, she was babysitting regularly and discovered a natural affinity for guiding and connecting with children. This lead her to pursue Special Education, where she spent the first decade of her career and learned some of the longest lasting lessons in human connection and development. Through her time as a teacher Lisa became known for her calm and steady manner in times of struggle, and her high expectations of growth for both herself and her students.As she continued to pursue her own educational path, she discovered the field of Adventure Education via Project Adventure, Inc. and was instantly hooked by the fun, dynamic, socially empowering approach to learning.

Since that time she has traveled extensively training other educators in an Adventure-based approach to teaching emotional intelligence in the classroom and using that same approach to develop and facilitate transformational leadership and team development experiences in schools, businesses, therapeutic, and retreat settings.Lisa is part of the faculty at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, teaching workshops and guiding Mindful Outdoor Experiences. She is also a contract trainer with High 5 Adventure and a leadership development facilitator with University of New Hampshire's Browne Center for Innovative Learning.Lisa resides in Western MA where she enjoys hiking, yoga, meditation, rock climbing, SUP, and deepening her knowledge of plants, trees, and local landscapes.

Before I know it, her presence and inquiry has led me down a path that enables me to think clearly about the challenges I'm facing, determine what I want the outcomes to be and create a list of feasible actions to achieve them. I'm so grateful to have met her."
