Hi, I’m Lisa, founder of Compassion Within Coaching. I have always been interested in the intersection of health and psychology. I am a nurse and a coach who believes real self care is being self compassionate with your inner self and that you don’t have to become harder on yourself to create lasting change.

I’m a Registered Nurse with bachelor’s degrees in both Nursing and Psychology and I am a Board Certified Nurse Coach. I also have training as a Mental Fitness Trainer (PQ Coach™) and as a Mindfulness Mentor.

I specialize in supporting women through health and life transitions including: perimenopause and menopause, caregiving support, new diagnoses, grief and finding work life balance. I work with individuals to navigate life’s challenges and transitions with empathy and insight all while building self compassion. Over my career, I’ve supported many people through complex health challenges, life transitions, and personal growth.

Through my work, one thing became clear: people don’t just need information; they need understanding, clarity, and a safe space to explore their next steps. That’s why I created Compassion Within Coaching: to help you slow down, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and take practical, focused action.

My holistic approach blends evidence-based practices with mindfulness and self-compassion. Together, we’ll clarify your goals, uncover what’s holding you back, and move forward in a way that feels sustainable — not overwhelming.

When I’m not coaching, you’ll find me walking my dog, spending time with my family, reading or exploring nature.
