Lisa is the founder and lead facilitator at Heliotropia, a consultancy focused on coaching and wellbeing. Heliotropia means ‘turn towards the sun’. In nature and in psychology, it describes the tendency of all living systems, including humans, to turn towards what is positive and life affirming and away from what is life depleting and not conducive to thriving. Lisa’s work is based on the science of wellbeing. She is a highly experienced educator with two postgraduate qualifications in positive psychology from the University of Melbourne. Her coach-specific training was completed at Swinburne University in Melbourne (she has a Graduate Certificate in Organisational Coaching) and she holds an ACC – Associate Certified Coach credential with the International Coaching Federation (ICF). Lisa’s work embraces a systems-informed, strengths-based approach. She loves to collaborate with individuals, groups and organisations, co-designing practical strategies to encourage flourishing across the lifespan despite challenges and setbacks.
