CREATING CONNECTION
All living is done in relationship and the way you relate to yourself is the first step towards understanding how you relate to everything. I support my clients by teaching the somatic tools and relational practices that build their ability to deeply understand, connect and communicate with themselves and others.
We are here to create whole and healthy relationships with ourselves & each other. .
Integrative behavioral/relational coaching is an approach to mental and emotional health that involves selecting techniques from different therapeutic orientations best suited to address our clients specific concerns. By tailoring each session to the individual or group, we can produce the most significant and long lasting effects. Unlike some single school approaches, integrative behavioral coaching is not restricted to a particular methodology or school of thought. Instead, we draw on different techniques as they are needed. (CBT, ACT, DBT, somatic experiencing, yoga, meditation, breathwork…etc). The goal of this is to improve the efficacy and efficiency of treatment by being flexible to the ever-changing needs of our clients throughout life.
The protective “parts” that are most likely keeping you “stuck” don’t always speak a cognitive language. That’s why if you’ve ever tried to only talk or think your way out of an experience, it likely hasn’t worked. The real change does not happen because you learn to analyze something new about yourself or someone else. It happens in the experiencing, in the silence, and when you stop performing the answers and carry what you have learned into your presence and in community. I bring you from “knowing” information into experiencing your wisdom.
One part of this work is learning to feel calm in your body, the other is building the framework and perspective to choose repair over rejection, responsiveness over reactivity and connect you back to the deeply loving and innate sense of your soul.
Most people were taught that boundaries mean punishment, conflict means the end, and repair is optional. We end up swallowing our truth, or exploding with rage, or walking away from relationships we actually want to keep because we haven’t built the capacity to accept and hold big emotions.
The result? We become stuck repeating the same patterns - mistaking survival for connection.
It’s time to change the pattern towards a more loving and compassionate way of living.
ABOUT LISA .
Lisa Reider is an integrative practitioner, teacher trainer and relational coach with over a decade of experience serving a diverse group of individuals, ages and communities.
Her approach to care focuses on integrating behavioral/relational psychology with somatic, energetic and spiritual practices, resulting in a unique blend that allows her to approach complex challenges from many positions, while offering immediate steps towards change. She believes by taking this multi- approach, each session allows her clients to receive immediate relief in the moment. From there we can continue to build the foundation for clarity, self-responsibility and compassion with the tools and exercises used each time.
Her career began as a Licensed Behavioral Therapist, working with adults and children struggling with severe cases of CPTSD/PTSD, CTE, ADHD/ADD, Spectrum/Autism/Aspergers and Advanced Grief. After years of case studies in school, home and corporate environments she began to integrate her skill sets as a Kundalini Yoga and Meditation teacher, Breathwork practitioner, Usui Reiki Master, Death Doula and multi-modality healer.
Lisa is a certified trauma-informed practitioner, trained in Crisis Prevention and Intervention for both medical and non-medical settings, Internal Family Systems, CBT, RBT, ACT and continues to expand her tool box with CE certifications and trainings throughout the year.
"Our work together changed everything, but especially how I relate to myself. Through our sessions, I realized that emotional safety and conscious listening were missing from alot my interactions, mostly because of my own doing. With Lisa's support, I learned why I kept trying to fix everything and how to stop that with different choices and language - to listen without interrupting, and to respond once I checked in with myself, instead of immediately reacting. My teenage son recently said, ‘You seem different, you seem happy, but for real’."
”Just wanted to pop in and tell you that you are amazing! I cannot believe how much I gained from our 45 minute discussion. I am already bragging about you to others! I do want you to know that going the MBA route is really going to help me build my tech infrastructure for our platform we are working on. You are a genius! “
"Working with Lisa unlocked something that no book, therapist or course has done for me. She helped me see what I didn't really want to see in myself, but once I did , I let go of an incredible amount of internalized pressure. I run my company more calmly and two of my senior leaders told me my communication style has become 'supportive and inspiring'. I've brought her in to do some workshops with my team and they felt the same way about her. I highly recommend working with her on a personal or professional level.”
"I don’t know what I would have done without you during my divorce. Thank you for helping our family navigate that time with integrity and grace. Our daughter is better for it and so are we. There are no words to express my gratitude for the insights you help me see during our sessions. Thank you.”

TRAUMA INFORMED
Trauma-informed care is an approach that recognizes the impact of trauma on individuals' lives and seeks to create a supportive environment for their healing and well-being.
In the context of a coaching session, being “trauma-informed” means I prioritize:
SAFETY: Psychological, emotional, and physical. Meaning we only move as quickly as your nervous system can adapt. I cannot guarantee you will never be triggered, that’s an impossible promise for anyone to make, but I can guarantee I will never trigger you on purpose.
TRUST & TRANSPARENCY: I am an open book, and am happy to share about what we’re doing in session and why we’re doing it.
PEER SUPPORT: When appropriate, and with your consent, I disclose personal experiences from my own life to empower you to feel less alone.
COLLABORATION: I am your co-creator, not your overlord—your peer, not your guru. I encourage your active participation in shaping the course of our work together.
CHOICE & EMPOWERMENT: I always lead with consent and acknowledge you as the expert on your own experience. Where appropriate, I also empower you with pieces of neuroscience and psycho-education to help you put your experience in context.
CULTURAL, HISTORICAL, & GENDER AWARENESS: I actively and continuously invest in expanding my understanding and competence in working with idiosyncrasies of culture and identity—intentionally seeking out and harmonizing my biases whenever and wherever possible.

Unlike doctors, psychologists, and psychiatrists, I do not assess, diagnose, or treat mental health disorders. Many of my clients choose to work with me AND a therapist. With my client’s consent, I often collaborate with their treating clinicians to ensure coordinated care.Coaching is not therapy or a replacement for therapy. Some differences between coaching and therapy can be found on this Very Well Mind article.
Coaching is not psychotherapy—but it often has significant therapeutic outcomes.
A helpful analogy is the difference between personal trainers (strength/optimization) and sports medicine doctors (injury management/stabilization). Both do important work with the same population, but in different contexts and scopes. Similarly, coaches and therapists have distinct roles.
As a coach, I am a personal trainer for your mind-body-spirit development. My focus is on helping clients clarify their vision, set goals, develop actionable plans, and enhance their strengths. My clients are generally emotionally stable and are not (or are no longer) grappling with severe mental health concerns.

THE PROCESS
01 — PREPARATION
If growth is a journey, this phase is your seatbelt. It’s the “have you peed though?”, and “do we have enough snacks?” phase. In other words, it’s where we build a foundation of trust between us, take honest stock of the quality of your support systems, and equip you with the cognitive and somatic tools you need to strengthen those systems. In doing so, you’ll develop both the confidence and skills to navigate the inevitable surprises that make a trip an adventure.
02 — EXPLORATION
Once a strong foundation has been set, we’ll begin navigating deeper layers of the work. Think of it like the 4 am part of the drive; bottomless Mountain Dew and highway breakdowns followed by deep realizations and even bigger breakthroughs. Here, endowed with understanding, you’ll be empowered to step out of shame, develop deep compassion for the patterns which once helped you survive, and cultivate the confidence to explore new patterns in service of your becoming. Staying supported by weaving in and out of Phase 1, we’ll gently tend to your most raw and vulnerable parts until you feel it’s time for the sun to rise on your newfound sense of self.
03 — INTEGRATION
This is the drive home. The phase where you take everything you learned on your journey and start dreaming up next steps. Now that you know what you know, what needs to change? Held by the strength of our container and the meaningful coaching relationship we’ve developed, you’ll be supported to answer that question, enabling you to transition effortlessly from our together into the next chapter of your life.

Usui Reiki & Energy Healing
The word “Reiki” means “mysterious atmosphere, miraculous sign.” It comes from the Japanese words “rei,” meaning universal, and “ki,” meaning life energy. Reiki is a type of energy healing. According to practitioners, energy can stagnate in the body where there has been physical injury or even emotional pain. In time, these energy blocks can cause illness.Energy medicine aims to help the flow of energy and remove blocks in a similar way to acupuncture or acupressure. Reiki practitioners believe that improving the flow of energy around the body can enable relaxation, relieve pain, speed healing, and reduce other symptoms of illness.
Death Doula & Grief Services
A “death doula” is someone who serves as a navigator, advocate, and experienced professional for the dying and their loved ones. Death Doula services range from pre-planning to education/support throughout the dying process, and after-death rituals and home celebrations.Talking about death is hard. People don’t know what to say, get stuck, and avoid the topic all together. Ironically, this causes a loss of power and access to choice. Every human deserves the right to have their preferences be known and facilitated as they die.
Plant Medicine Consultations
Factors such trauma, loss, discrimination, and other negative life experiences can shape our perception of ourselves and the world, including how we react and respond to life's challenges and our ability to navigate our emotions. These perceptions can become habitual patterns and cycles that contribute to suffering. Individuals who seek plant-assisted support often struggle with life-long or treatment-resistant depression and anxiety. They have tried other forms of therapy and are still in need of relief from their debilitating symptoms. Psilocybin can help clients break out of self-destructive or depressive patterns and reconnect with a sense of purpose, passion, and creativity in life. These sessions are consultations guiding clients with monthly protocol plans, information towards safe resources and integrative behavioral coaching sessions. The combination offers behavioral support and insights to your plant assisted experience for lasting relief.
Soundbath & Tuning Fork Healing
Soundbaths are an invitation into a deeper state of consciousness, an opportunity to unplug from external stimuli and to gain perspective. A Soundbath is a deeply-immersive, full-body listening experience that intentionally uses sound to invite gentle yet powerful therapeutic and restorative processes to nurture your mind and body. The goal of the experience is to invite deep rest and relaxation, and explore a deeper sense of self-inquiry and self-discovery.
GROUP SESSIONS $500 / 10 + $40/pp additional
Breathwork
Breathwork sessions combine the practice of ancient rhythmic breathing, spacial energy work, hypnotherapy and music. Designed for both single and group sessions to give a powerful and transformational experience. The practice balances the brain and nervous system, clears out stuck emotional energy, expands insight/intuition, and begins to reprogram the subconscious messaging of the mind. A very powerful session for those looking to do subconscious and physical healing within the body.
Kundalini Yoga, Breathwork & Meditation
Kundalini Yoga is a powerful combination of yoga, meditation and breath to relax and restore the body’s systems simultaneously, increasing flexibility, energy, and overall strength. This sacred and scientific technology allows one the space to access a deeper level of balance, awareness and resilience while elevating consciousness. Each individual session is tailored to target specialized aspects of growth, healing and transformation..
