From Feeling Lost to Finding Direction...
A Journey of Self Awareness, Peace and Clarity
-- Lisa Reber

When you meet Lisa Reber, her friendly smile immediately puts you at ease. Her warm blue eyes and gentle voice exude a sense of peace and contentment that make it easy to see why she has a thriving career as a massage therapist and more recently, a life coach. However, this wasn't always the case. Prior to meeting Sharon at a Holistic Health Newtorker mixer, Lisa was 40 pounds overweight, going through a divorce and full of self-doubt. "Even though I owned my own business and was making it on my own financially, I needed some direction and clarity to start living my best life. I had started taking the first steps I needed to get on track, but had no sense of real direction." Lisa took the first step by joining Sharon's Entrepreneurial Spirit group, which helped her connect with other women who were either business owners or looking to start their own business. "We networked, brainstormed and held each other accountable from week to week. Through participating in the group, I realized I had a lot more to offer than I ever imagined. Because of my life experiences of being a caregiver to my elderly parents, running a massage therapy business and going through my divorce, I realized had a lot to share- and learn, from these women. I felt connected to a group who had been through many of the same circumstances I had. Not only did I receive support- it was also a starting point on how I wanted to reframe my life."

Sharon encouraged Lisa to take charge of her life, dreams and aspirations. "I began Life Coaching sessions with Sharon to set goals and lay the groundwork for moving forward. I started by making changes within myself." Focused and committed to her new lifestyle, Lisa began running, lost the excess weight, and completed her first race. She also began journaling and writing gratitude letters to keep focused on her goals. "I had never felt more in control of my life! Not only was I becoming stronger and healthier from a physical standpoint, my mind was also getting healthier. I had clarity, focus and a renewed sense of direction."

With her newfound confidence, Sharon encouraged Lisa to complete the classes necessary to become a Certified Life Coach. She is currently working with Sharon to assist her in setting goals for her new practice. One area in which Lisa plans to focus is helping those who find themselves taking care of elderly parents cope with both the emotional and physical changes that occur along the way, in addition to meeting immediate needs and offering support and suggestions for the future. "It is my hope that my experiences can help others in some way during what can be a very challenging time."

"In working with Sharon and finding my focus, every aspect of my life has been affected. My business is thriving, I am in excellent health and I am in a loving relationship with an amazing man. Now that my focus is clear and I am in control, the possibilities are endless and I am very excited and looking forward to what the future holds!"
