After a decade of working as a clinical social worker in hospitals and health services around Queensland, Lisa became accredited as a Mental Health Social Worker with the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW). Whilst undertaking further training in mental health therapy, Lisa discovered the work of Dr Peta Stapleton and her world-leading research trials on Clinical EFT (emotional freedom techniques). Lisa quickly realised the potential this technique held for her clients and went on to complete her formal certification in Clinical EFT through the Tapping Training Institute, based out of Langley, Washington.

 

At the time of completing her mental health accreditation, Lisa was living in Brisbane with her husband and two young sons but was experiencing an increasingly strong desire to move back to her hometown of Stanthorpe. Lisa had decided she wanted to raise her sons as she had been raised - in the Australian bush, surrounded by gum trees, native wildlife, and the exquisite granite boulders that Stanthorpe is so well known for. Once Lisa had completed her accreditation, she 'took the plunge', moving her family to her hometown and opening up her private practice. 

​

Being a 'country girl', Lisa understands the trials and tribulations of living in the Australian bush. She feels a deep sense of connection to the land. She understands the bond that can exist between people in rural and remote communities and their properties and livestock. Lisa also knows too well the pain and suffering caused by witnessing your land be decimated by drought and bushfire. As such, Lisa is passionate about working with people in rural and remote communities across Australia. These communities often have limited, or no, access to support services or mental health care. Lisa now works online to reach people all across Australia. She uses Clinical EFT to treat symptoms of stress, anxiety, trauma, and a variety of other presenting problems. ​
