In counseling her clients, Alisa’s desire is to facilitate transformation, healing, and growth toward wholeness.

Performance Coaching @ Energy Rich Living

I’m an expert in helping people live the lives that they were made for. It doesn’t matter if you’re the CEO of a billion dollar corporation or a stay-at-home mom. When that deep inner voice just won’t shut up and you can’t ignore it any longer, I’m your man.

As a Transformative Coach and speaker, I’ve been helping executives and high performers create powerful results in the world while maintaining balance of Body, Mind & Spirit for nearly three decades.

Often times we can get so caught up in striving for outcomes and goals that we lose ourselves in the process. Ultimately, the achievements that we thought would make us happy provide fleeting satisfaction at best. As a result, we may become even more driven, cynical, overwhelmed, depressed or any combination of the above. This inevitably leads to breakdowns in our health, relationships, productivity or general well-being.

My job is to help you to remember Who You Really Are, beyond ego-driven striving and seeking. To remember that your true nature is peace, love, clarity and happiness. To experience even a glimpse of this (note the term, “experience”, not “intellectually understand”) can change your life.

Does it feel like you’ve lost your way somewhere?

Have you succeeded in one area of life only to find another area in breakdown? is your business thriving at the expense of your relationships? Your health? Your well-being?

Are you sick or in pain, stressed out, anxious, depressed or not living up to your own high standards?

Trying to “push through” this situation is like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic!

My background includes a variety of training and experiences that led me to this profession. I have degrees in psychology and chiropractic. I’ve studied human transformation with some of (literally) the most brilliant minds in the world. I’ve trained in martial arts for 40 years. I even performed in an Off-Broadway comedy troupe for a while. I’ve also been picked on as a kid, declared bankruptcy and been divorced. You can never tell which life experiences will produce the greatest gifts unless you stay in the game.

My work is about supporting you to live an Energy Rich Life: A life of productivity, vitality, peace, clarity and happiness. We’ll identify outcomes that you define as critical to your Amazing Life and achieve them by freeing up the resources and teaching you the skills to use those resources most effectively. Ultimately, you’ll learn to create success as a function of your true nature.

How this happens
It happens in conversation. You speak. I listen. I give precise feedback. And miracles happen. Your mind begins to get quieter. Even the space in the room seems to become more peaceful. And in that space you will tap into wisdom in a way that you never have before. New perspectives to old problems arise effortlessly.

Basically, my work is divided into two pillars:

1. True Nature. This is the foundation. Knowing Who You Really Are allows you to play full out in the world without trying to find happiness in your accomplishments. Peace, clarity and happiness become intrinsic to your experience of life.
2. Mastery. When we don’t need to find happiness in our accomplishments, life becomes a game. Mastery is about mastering the unseen forces the shape our lives. We’ll dive deeply into creating a profound understanding of these forces, including Energetic Intelligence (EI), the Triad of Change and the Technology of Effortlessness. The point is learning to play your game in life with more grace and ease then ever before.

Holistic Psychotherapist

Specializes in helping Women who do a lot of caregiving professionally and/or at home, who are moving through their own big life transitions and personal stress.

“You’re doing all the right things and taking care of the people that need you. You’re also trying to take care of yourself the best you can, but it doesn’t seem to be enough. Maybe you’re going through some big life changes or maybe an underlying anxiety that has always been there is getting harder to hide. You don’t need someone to fix you, but you may need some space to BE you.

I’ve been supporting women through all kinds of life transitions for over 20 years. In addition to mindfulness-based counseling, I incorporate hypnotherapy, mind-body practice, meditation, movement, and/or traditional healing tools as needed. I work mostly with women who do a lot of caring for others, whether in their professional life or at home. If you are facing the beginning or ending of something important, trying to balance your own needs with everyone else’s, or dealing with a relentless inner critic, my work is to help you find your way back to your own heart, your own center, and your own strength.

If you’d like to learn more about me and my background as a holistic psychotherapist, spiritual counselor, ceremony officiant, faculty at AOMA Graduate School of Integrative Medicine, and author of Lessons of Labor, please visit my website.”

Multidimensional Healing is Healing on All Levels

Liesl Schott MD assimilates multiple disciplines through a spiritual focus addressing the many levels of the being as an integrated whole while working with the client through consciousness to achieve greater healing and balance on all levels.

Her unique mind-body approach blends disciplines of

• Spiritual Psychology
• Functional Medicine
• and Noetic-Field work

Dr. Schott holds a Doctorate in Medicine, from the University of Texas Medical Branch, and practiced traditional western medicine in primary care for many years. She then answered a calling to follow her awareness of the other dimensions of the being she experiences and her understanding that all levels are a reflection of the whole.

By approaching our healing through the path of consciousness and coming into the understanding of our selves as a Divine multidimensional whole we can then work with our many levels and aspects as the conductor and orchestrator of our unique symphony, and from a centered place of elevation and inner knowing come into a resonance and harmony of radiant health and wellbeing.

Spiritual Advisor, Shamanic Practitioner and Reiki Master

@ Restful Waters

Intuitive guidance for empowered living.

Mary uses her shamanic healing and mediumship abilities to find and open doorways into higher states of awareness, where we can be introduced to our highest potential and begin living a more fulfilled life. She works with others to help them heal old emotional wounds, break free of limiting beliefs and thought processes, and gain insight to a deeper level of innate wisdom.

Much like the Incan Cross (or Chakana) in the Restful Waters logo, there are many facets and angles to which one must consider when seeking profound and complete healing. Mary uses intuitive insight to tap into all of the aspects of our human experience and offers complete healing for the mind (mental aspect), body (physical aspect), and spirit (emotional aspect).

Mary Schneider has been a student of energetic medicine for the past 30 years. She became a Certified Resonance Repatterning Practitioner in 1996 and has been in private practice for the past 20 years. Formerly, a marketing and public relations executive, she brings a unique perspective to the healing arts and energetic medicine. An ordained minister, Mary currently practices in Austin,Texas.

Resonance Repatterning is a process for positive change that is based upon New Physics which states that all matter is energy. If all matter is energy, then everything has a frequency. Low back pain has a frequency, diseased organs have a frequency. Limiting belief systems have a frequency and negative thought patterns do, too. If you can optimize these frequencies, people notice profound changes in their lives. Resonance Repatterning is a process that optimizes these frequencies. And, it works.

When an individual experiences trauma on any level – physical, emotional, mental or spiritual – energetic blocks are created in the body-mind-spirit system. These blocks prevent the life energy from flowing freely through the system which may result in dis-ease in any aspect of life. Resonance Repatterning removes these blocks and allows the life force to flow freely again resulting in profound transformation.

Resonance Repatterning is based upon a fundamental belief that every part affects the whole. Its holistic approach to healing takes into consideration that the mind, body and spirit must be healed in order to live a full life.
