Listening Sessions w/ Dr. Lisa

(Accepting New Clients)

“If we would only listen with the same passion
that we feel about needing to be heard” – Harriet Lerner

I created this offering during the COVID-19 pandemic when fear, isolation, overwhelm and confusion became more pronounced.  I’ve been there myself and have found a way to be with uncertainty and move with heart.  I would love to help you navigate life or health in general in a deep, meaningful and relevant way. It starts with listening.

Listening – A sound basis for healthy relationships

Even before COVID – 19 became a pandemic, musician and sound-healing coach Daniel Barber designed a free online summit — “Your Music, Your Way”. He interviewed 30 different leaders, musicians, healers speaking on the topic of navigating mystery through improvising with sound — including me.

Based on the suggestion  from a mutual friend, Daniel asked to interview me for this summit. My first response was, “What could I contribute to this topic that would be helpful or meaningful;  especially given I’m not a musician or an expert on sound?” That was fear speaking and it felt BIG.  Then it dawned on me. I am being asked to find courage in the face of fear; we all are. Choosing courage in the face of doubt or difficulty has guided me well through many life challenges. Courage helps me listen and guide patients effectively; whether its helping them to  change their diet or lifestyle; look deeper; or let go in order to improve their own health and well being.

As I spent time exploring this topic of music, it became apparent that it would be best to speak about something I’m passionate about and experienced with — deeply listening to our relationship with ourselves, each other and the natural world. Through the process of preparing for and giving this interview, I began to claim my own music and appreciate how we all are musical, in our own way. Little did I realize that 1 month later, a veil that’s been hiding our fears would be lifted all over the globe would.  We would be asked to pause and listen more deeply than perhaps we ever have before. I pray that we will use this opportunity to better tune ourselves as a species and make music together moving forward with life.  No doubt, we are interdependent.

I invite you to listen to a talk I gave Tuesday, March 17, 2020. Its a bit long (almost 90 minutes) so you may want to settle in with a cup of tea or listen while weeding your garden.  Please, don’t miss the poignant story I share at the end of the interview  – hopefully its worth the wait.

With heart,
