Functional Medicine & Health Optimization
Hypnosis and NLP
Understand your Symptoms. Reduce Inflammation. Restore Your Metabolic Energy.
Consultations are available worldwide via Zoom, with limited in-person sessions locally.
I know what it’s like to be told everything is “normal” while you still feel unwell.
My work is shaped by nearly 30 years in healthcare and by my own health challenges. I combine functional medicine, nutrition science and metabolic health with hypnosis and NLP, so you can understand your body and build habits that last, without overwhelm or extremes.
Instead of chasing symptoms, we look at the terrain: metabolic resilience, digestion, inflammation, your mitochondria and daily stress. Small, targeted changes often create the biggest improvements.
About Lisa
Health optimization through a wide lens. If you feel tired, inflamed, hormonally off, or your labs seem normal but you still don’t feel well, this is where we begin.
We look at your whole story across five connected areas: Metabolism, Mitochondria, Microbiome, Movement and MindBody, with your lifestyle all around them.
You leave with a clear step-by-step plan built around your values and goals.

You know what you want to change, but something keeps getting in the way. Maybe it’s worry that loops at 2 a.m., procrastination, self-sabotage, or a fear or phobia that holds you back. Maybe it’s sleep, cravings, smoking, or the racing heart before you speak up.
Or life is good and you want more: peak performance in sport, business or on stage, and the confidence to show up as your best self. Some people simply feel they live from the neck up and want to reconnect with their body.
Hypnosis and NLP work with the part of your mind that runs these patterns, so change stops feeling like a fight with yourself. I trained with one of the best, Paul McKenna, the world’s leading hypnotherapist, and I’m a Certified Mindvalley Hypnotherapist, IAPCP. Online from anywhere, or in person on Vancouver Island.

Practical nutrition and lifestyle strategies that improve energy, focus, sleep, digestion and inflammation. I explain what foundational metabolics is so that people can understand the impact this has on their immediate health.
I also educate on hypnosis and NLP constructs because lasting change requires a mindset adjustment. Our words affect our subconscious patterns and when we use the right sensory information to change, a new world of possibilities exist.
For executives, workplaces, schools, and community groups wanting clear, science-based mind & body health guidance without overwhelm.
Explore speaking engagements and retreatsMany symptoms don’t begin where they appear. Digestion, food reactions, stress patterns and daily habits all influence inflammation, hormones and energy.
These short explanations help you recognize what your body may be trying to tell you, and why simple changes often lead to major improvements.

Tired of guessing which supplements, tests and gadgets are worth your money? These are the products I use myself and recommend to clients, from gut health and genomic testing to red light therapy and better sleep. Many come with a discount code.

While nutrition is foundational, long-term health is influenced by more than food alone.
Sleep quality, stress patterns, morning light exposure, movement, digestion & absorption, mitochondrial health and environmental factors all interact to shape metabolic and hormonal balance. Functional medicine integrates these daily influences into a cohesive, personalized plan designed for real-life implementation.
My work extends beyond traditional nutrition consulting by examining how lifestyle patterns and biological systems interact to influence symptoms and long-term resilience. And because lasting change starts in the mind, I pair this work with hypnosis and NLP, so new habits feel natural instead of forced.
