Helping Women Embody the Inner Work They’ve Been Doing for Years

Through Pilates-based movement, breathwork meditation, and relational mentoring, I help thoughtful, accomplished women bridge the gap between understanding their patterns and actually living differently.

You've done therapy. You're starting to understand your patterns. You know you have needs. But your inner work stays in your head—it’s not showing up in how you actually live, parent, work or show up in relationships.

I help you integrate that knowledge through your body so you can finally show up the way you know you’re meant to be, with your families, your work, your communities, and the impact you’re here to make.

My Background

I'm Lise. For over 25 years, I've been helping women reconnect to themselves through pilates-based practices. In the last five years I’ve begun integrating breathwork meditation, and relational mentoring to this movement practice. I work with therapists, coaches, educators, and professionals—women who've done inner work but struggle to integrate it into their daily lives. Women who are building meaningful careers while managing motherhood, partnership, and their own continued growth.

How I Arrived at This Work

At 28, a car accident left me with a traumatic head injury that changed everything. Before the accident, I was deeply connected to my body, mind and spirit through dance, somatic practices and intellectual pursuits After, I spent years feeling like I wasn't the same person—navigating deep physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing.

That journey brought me to Pilates, to understanding trauma not from textbooks but from the inside. It taught me what my clients now need: that healing isn't just about understanding what happened—it's about sensing what your body needs and feels and the connection between your thoughts, emotions and your body sensations.

For many years, I helped clients primarily through physical practice—Pilates, movement, helping people feel more embodied. I was good at it. Clients stayed with me for years. But I kept noticing patterns: women who didn’t understood their stress, their boundaries, their needs—and couldn't seem to prioritize themselves. Who kept pushing through instead of listening to their bodies

My path to this work has been anything but linear. I came to it first through necessity.

Then in 2014, I was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Facing mortality clarified everything. I realized that the physical practice alone—while valuable—wasn't addressing what was underneath. The chronic stress. The inability to prioritize oneself. The disconnect between inner knowing and outer living. The patterns that, left unaddressed, can literally make us sick.

I stopped "putting out fires" each session and started following a thread through the work—addressing root causes, not just symptoms. I began incorporating breathwork meditation, essential oils to work with the limbic system, nervous system regulation practices, and deeper relational mentoring.

That's when everything shifted. Not just for me, but for my clients.
