Inspiring Results Lisa Helps You Achieve
Awareness of Patterns That May Be Holding You Back
Whether rooted in complex childhood developmental trauma, PTSD, or ongoing complex trauma, parts of yourself such as: perfectionism, people-pleasing, or chronic self-criticism, can keep you from moving forward. Therapy helps unravel the internal patterns that keep you stuck. This awareness becomes the first steps toward healing.
Heal Long-Standing Patterns and Emotional Wounds
Many clients experience increased emotional stability, fewer triggers, a calmer nervous system, and a greater sense of inner safety.
Build a Life That Feels Peaceful, Spacious, and Meaningful
Move from overwhelm and numbness into clarity, purpose, and ease. Clients often report improved relationships, deeper self-respect, better boundaries, and the ability to move through life with compassion rather than survival mode. Healing becomes the doorway to joy, freedom, and genuine fulfillment.

I humbly acknowledge that Lasting Wellness Therapy in Guelph, Ontario is located on the traditional territory of many nations, including the Haudenosaunee, the Attiwonderonk, and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. Guelph is also currently home to many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit people. I am grateful to the many generations who have come before me, and acknowledge the often tragic history between settlers and First Nations people.. May the decisions we make, and the activities we pursue, be inclusive and mindful of the many generations yet to come, as we strive to walk together on a path of mutual respect and support.
