Lisa is a Certified Master Hypnotherapist, Wellness Coach, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner serving the Hampton Roads area of Virginia for in-person sessions, as well as working with clients across the country via phone.

As a member of the National Guild of Hypnotists (NGH), Toastmasters International (AC-B), and the Junior Chamber of Commerce (and 2008 Chaplain for the Virginia Jaycees), Lisa is committed to service and continuing education. She is currently pursuing a Masters Degree in Holistic Nutrition, and she is ordained as a Minister of Spiritual Healing.

Lisa started her journey into mind studies when she began reading about and practicing self-hypnosis in high school. A few years after earning her bachelor's degree in marketing and psychology, she studied and became certified as a hypnotherapist, eventually switching careers to become a full-time hypnotherapist. She was a senior staff hypnotist and trainer with the Virginia Beach center of Positive Changes Hypnosis for 7 1/2 years, specializing in weight control hypnosis. She now runs her own self-improvement company:  Life by Design, LLC.

"To look at me today, you wouldn't know that I had a weight problem for 20 years. Now, even though I've entered my 40's, my healthy habits are so second nature that one would assume I've always been a healthy, trim person. But from the time of puberty up until about 10 years ago, I had struggled with my weight.

"Although I was never more than 25 pounds overweight, that 25 pounds greatly affected my self-esteem and caused me to try all sorts of diets, diet pills, and exercise programs since high school, with varying results - none of them lasting or satisfying.

"It wasn't until 1999, when I began working full-time as a hypnotist at a self-improvement center specializing in weight loss hypnosis, that I was exposed to the physical and mental resources I needed to lose weight in a healthy, natural way, and establish habits that have been easy and lasting. Now I am the fittest and happiest with my body and habits than I have ever been. I'm 20 pounds lighter, a size 6, and maintain habits I know will help me stay fit and healthy even as I age.

"I've waged the battle of the bulge and emerged victorious! I want to help you win your weight loss battle by teaching and guiding you through the same resources and techniques that helped me. This entails a mind-body approach that is lacking in the majority of quick-fix, diet-focused weight loss programs.

"Let me teach you how to lose weight in the most healthy, natural, and lasting way possible!"
