Mindfulness is an awareness practice that supports all of us in being present with “what is,” in the here and now in order to bring about our natural human tendency toward healing and wholeness. Lisa uses mindfulness in combination with Gestalt Practice to support and mentor others in presence, curiosity, attunement, choice, equanimity, and acceptance. Gestalt Psychology is an important element of my practice and was first developed by Dr. Fritz Perls in the 1950s and 60s. His work was further developed into Gestalt Practice by Dick and Christine Price and my mentors Dorothy Charles and Steven Harper at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, California. Mindfulness is a practice that originates from ancient Buddhist philosophy and is a pillar of my work - inviting breath and present-centered awareness to support inner guidance, emotional regulation and our natural tendency toward wholeness and healing.
