About Me

  • Qualifications Published Author, M.A. English Studies & Diploma in Writing
  • Description Lissa 's heart-based story coaching and creativity coaching draw on somatic techniques that use the senses and the body as starting points for writing.

    Our life experiences are embedded in our bodies, and some studies suggest that even our parents' and grandparents' experiences can influence us in some way.

    Communicating with our body through what Lissa call "heart writing" allows you to connect deeply to your story or stories and to bring them to life.

    Lissa also offers creativity coaching to help you rediscover--and take back--your creative power. In our sessions, she works on helping you to confront any roadblocks that may sabotage your creative process. She helps you organize your time and set up a workable schedule to fit in--and finish--creative work.

  • What I Can Help With Creativity Coaching:

    Ways to strengthen your creative practice.

    Exercises that encourage you to consistently show up and create.

    Insights from me gained over several years’ writing and doing creative work.

We can be moving through life so fast that we miss it! I love the zen proverb "If you don't have time to meditate for an hour every day, you should meditate for two hours"! My experience taught me that the "downtimes, make the doing times better". I learned that time spent doing a 10-minute meditation in the morning help me to be more focussed, effective and productive during the day.

      An inspiring story about sharing time with your mum too, very precious times indeed.  less

      Lissa M. Cowan Thank you, Deborah! I love that Zen proverb. So true! LOL. And yes we don't need to spend a lot of time to change our perspective. Just ten minutes in the morning can do wonders for increasing focus and presence during the day.

An amazing achievement on your behalf and I am sure your insights will help those suffering with pain. I know that endometriosis is a condition that impacts many women and they are often left suffering for years as they are unable to find the support and help they need to heal. I too believe in the wholistic approach to healing and it has worked wonders in my life and my daughters as we both have suffered endometriosis. Your 10 tips are practical, mostly free and helpful in bringing relief to cope with chronic pain and live a happy, healthy life.  less
