About Me

Qualifications Published Author, M.A. English Studies & Diploma in Writing
Description Lissa helps people slow down and become more present. Her heart-based writing coaching sessions and writing meditation course 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.

Waking up to the stories buried within us can help us expand our creativity and live more consciously as we begin to understand ourselves better.
Areas I Specialise In Emotional Mastery, Self-Care, Stress
How My Work Helps People My work helps individuals to connect to the deeper parts of themselves that long for wholeness and happiness. To find the stories within them that inform who they are and help them to discover what makes them sing.
What I Can Help With I tailor my one-on-one sessions to individual needs, whether that's uncovering the story that lives inside you and/or helping you to develop that story and bring it into the world.

I typically suggest signing up for 2-3 sessions to give you ample time to uncover the threads of your story and begin to put it into a narrative form if you desire.

Here are the sessions for heart writing:

Guided Discovery: A one-hour session to go inward and determine what's calling your attention.

Story Making: Three one-hour sessions including Guided Discovery and two one-hour sessions where we'll go deep. This package includes visualizations, generative writing exercises, worksheets, and story-making that lead to some key elements of your personal story.

Writing Your Heart Story: Five one-hour sessions over two months. This package includes Guided Discovery, Story Making, and one-on-one mentoring to further shape and hone your story with feedback and direction for sharing your story with the world (e.g., blog, magazine, storytelling event).

Areas of focus:

• Affirmations
• Journaling
• Healing Through Writing
• Writing Meditation
• Creativity Coaching
• Life Purpose & Soul Expression
• Mindfulness
• Raising Energy
• Self-Nourishment
• Sensuality & Freedom Of Expression
• Somatic-based Writing
• Story Mentoring
• Writing Coaching
