Raising the Spirited Child
Three 1-hour sessions designed to:
1) Truly Know your child (how they learn, their love language, & which “brain” you are dealing with and when!)
2) Nourish (“Hands-on” easy-to-implement & effective tools to create a happy, successful child through resiliency and self-efficacy).
3) Navigate (All behavior is a language – “missed” behavior means something is missing – learning what is missing and what to do about it in simple effective steps!)
(In addition to the three 1-hour “in person or via skype” sessions, Lisa spends time planning and designing your individualized plan!)
– The Family Playbook
Eight 1-hour sessions designed to:
1) Establish family credo & guidelines to live, work & play in harmony.
2) Create structure (& contracts) for negotiating needs of both parents & children.
3) Understand & interpret behaviors.
4) Learn Problem-Solving techniques.
5) Understand how to utilize natural consequences versus punishment.
6) Communicate effectively & non-violently using I-Messages.
7) Learn Active listening skills.
8) Create a family meeting structure and “practice” new-found skills & learning to take a family “Sabbath”
(In addition to the 8 1-hour “in session” time, Lisa spends time understanding the unique needs of your family and designing a specific plan for your family! It is optimal if at least 2 of the sessions involve the entire family!)
– Parents Survival Guide
Four 1-hour sessions designed to:
1) Nurture a healthy pre-frontal cortex by saying “No” and setting healthy boundaries – without using punishment or reward.
2) Gain cooperation through mutual respect using conscious discipline.
3) Get results using action and not just words!
4) Work yourself out of a job – creating happy, resilient, independent, and responsible children.
(Lisa provides a working understanding of how the brain works, how you can utilize tools for cooperation, stop nagging, reminding and negotiating! )
– Can I Have Your Attention Please?
Five 1-hour sessions designed to improve focus,
attention & impulse control without medication.
1) Neurodevelopmental assessment & exercises for improved physiological response to inattentiveness & impulsivity.
2) Nutrition/energy medicine & science-based activities (impulse control).
3) Give me 5 (5 specific techniques for improved focus/attention).
4) How to set boundaries and specific techniques for your child’s specific learning style.
5) Addressing specific issues/problem areas for your child’s unique challenges (including OCD, ADHD, Anxiety, Anger, etc.)
(In addition to the five 1-hour sessions, Lisa spends time reviewing and researching the best possible interventions for your child’s particular needs. It is with the same research-minded tenacity she utilized in the re-meditation of her son’s autism that she will approach your child’s specific challenges!)

I believe within each parent is the innate wisdom of what their child needs. My “job” is to facilitate the excavation of that truth. I do that by asking questions so that the answers reveal themselves. Most often, as parents our issue is that we do not trust ourselves. Sometimes having a sounding board and someone with an objective perspective enables us to tap into that innate wisdom.
My eclectic background, experience and intuitive guidance system serves as a tuning fork for your own resonating truth. I am not an “expert” on your child – you are. I am here to remind you of that wisdom and offer ideas, thoughts and suggestions so that you can assimilate another vantage point to create optimal solutions for you and your child. Sometimes, it helps to have someone listen and help us process our feelings and thoughts. In doing so, we open up a place for the right resolution for our child and our individual issue to come forth.
I have dealt with the frustrations of being a single mom, a step-mom, a mother of a special-needs child, a working mom in addition to going to school fulltime. The “hands on” experience, coupled with education and work experience provides a nice lens to view childhood behaviors, issues and difficulties through. With this lens, I look at your particular situation, offer feedback and we work together for creative, innovative and easy- to-implement solutions!
YOU and your child are unrepeatable miracles and I believe you have chosen one another to learn from each other and the experiences you are sharing. I would love to support you in any way on this journey and facilitate the greatest parenting experience possible.
I look forward to cheering you on throughout this “roller-coaster” ride we call parenthood. It’s bumpy, it’s wild, there are lots of ups and downs, turn-arounds, and an occasional squeal or two (hopefully, of pure delight…but, we know about the other ones. too!)
Let me know how I can help!
