Meet Lisa
Writer. Holistic Practitioner. Empowerment Coach.
I’ve always been curious about people, possibilities, and the little things in life that make us stop and wonder.
That curiosity has taken me down many paths—as a writer, Reiki Master, holistic practitioner, empowerment coach, and lifelong seeker. While those paths may seem different, they all share a common thread:
helping people discover something new about themselves and the world around them.
A Little About Me
Writing, healing, curiosity and personal growth have been threads running through my life for as long as I can remember.
I’ve spent more than three decades exploring holistic wellness and energy work, beginning with Reiki in the early 1990s. Along the way, I became a Reiki Master, holistic practitioner, certified Life Coach and empowerment coach—but I’ve always remained very down-to-earth about it all.
I’m also a writer who loves finding meaning, humor and unexpected lessons in everyday life. Whether I’m writing about gemstones for children or wondering what a dog can teach us about stretching, I’m fascinated by the stories, experiences and little moments that help us see life differently.
And I still believe you can never have too many rocks.
I live in Virginia and love being near the water—whether it’s the ocean, river, lake, pond or puddle.
Writer & Author
Writing has been part of my life in many forms—from stories, magazine and newspaper articles to newsletters and promotional materials. Whatever I’m writing, I’m drawn to the things that make us think, discover, smile and see ourselves or the world a little differently.
My books span different ages and subjects, but curiosity, self-discovery and empowerment run through them all.
And Then I Wondered…

My Thoughts for Today
Holistic Practitioner & Reiki Master
My exploration of energy and holistic wellness has been a constant throughout much of my life. I became a Reiki practitioner in 1992 and later a Reiki Master, drawn to its gentle yet powerful approach to healing and well-being.
In 1993, that interest took an unexpected turn when I approached the Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, about exploring how Reiki might benefit patients. That conversation led to pioneering research studies examining Reiki’s effects on pain and quality of life.
More than three decades later, I continue to explore the connection between energy, intuition and personal well-being, bringing a practical, grounded approach to the work I do.
Aura & Chakra Scans use the technology of the Biopulsar Reflexograph to provide a visual look at the aura and chakras. I use these scans as another tool to help people gain insight into their energy, balance and overall sense of well-being.

Empowerment Coach
My approach to coaching is practical, intuitive and focused on helping people recognize their own strengths and possibilities.
I believe meaningful change doesn’t always come from having all the answers. Sometimes it begins with asking a different question, seeing a situation from another perspective, or realizing that the next step is already within reach.
My focus is empowerment—helping people move forward with greater clarity, confidence and trust in themselves.

And Still, I Wonder…
After all these years—and all the different paths I’ve traveled—I’m still curious.
I still wonder about people, possibilities, the unexpected turns life takes and the lessons that sometimes appear in the most unlikely places.
I don’t believe we ever stop learning, growing or discovering something new about ourselves. And I hope that, through my writing and the work I do, I can encourage others to stay curious too.
Because sometimes the best discoveries begin with simply wondering…
