When facing the inevitable challenges of life, Lisanne believes we can reduce our pain greatly by tuning into our inner world with openness, in a safe and supportive environment. No matter how hard our reality might be, she thinks we can develop compassion for ourselves, heal our wounds, and find our own creative ways to take on a new path filled with meaning. She has experienced this process herself and its transformative power inspired her to facilitate it for other humans. She is honored and grateful for getting to do this work and see residents growing and feeling better every day.
