Lise believes that relationships, life events, and our histories shape our views of the world, our perceptions of the people in it, and our overall personalities. Our life experiences, both positive and negative, aid us in cultivating attitudes towards ourselves and others, our own resilience, and a wider awareness of human nature.

Lise was born in Edmonton, Alberta. Her parents had four children, 12-18 months apart. Eight years later Lise was born and three years after that came her younger sister. Lise started working in her early teens selling watches and clocks for a major department store. At age nineteen she left Edmonton to live with an older sister in Vancouver. Soon after moving to Vancouver Lise worked at a neighborhood pub waitressing and then bartending (and informal counselling😊). Lise married at age twenty four and had five children. While raising her kids, she started a home-based business with a major cosmetics company as a Beauty Consultant and eventually a Sales Director. Unfortunately, her marriage ended in divorce. Lise met her current partner in 2007 and they married in 2015. She transitioned to the health and wellness industry, and began working with a national company as an Intake Counsellor (Employee Family Assistance Program) then was promoted to the position of Disability Case Manager, assisting employees who are off work with emotional and/or physical disabilities. Lise is a grandmother of six with another one on the way. Problem solving and physical/emotional healing expanded into coaching, helping people deal with life’s challenges.
