A Multi-Passionate Entrepreneur
from Hamilton, Ontario.
Supporting women and business owners since 2015.
I was 18 in 2015 when I started my blog. It was a lifestyle blog, a creative outlet where I got to share my thoughts and experiences, and to my surprise, it led to some cool brand collaborations. At the time, I was studying marketing in school, juggling fashion start-up internships, and trying to figure out my path. By the time I turned 20, I decided to take a skill I had — social media — and monetize it. That’s when I officially launched my first business: a social media agency.
To be honest, I didn’t even fully understand what running an agency meant, but I knew I had the determination to figure it out. I took advantage of two grant programs through the City of Hamilton’s Small Business Centre, which helped me build the foundation for my business. From April 2018 to August 2021, I ran my agency full-time. It was a whirlwind three years in my early twenties. I had some incredible wins and learned so much about myself, but it also came with challenges I hadn’t anticipated.
The stress of being self-employed hit me in a way I wasn’t prepared for. I’d always been someone who thrived under pressure, but this was different. I realized I needed something to help me stay balanced and grounded, so I turned to yoga. Growing up, I danced for 15 years, so yoga felt like a natural fit. I started as an energy exchanger at a local studio, which allowed me to immerse myself in the practice and community without financial pressure. It didn’t take long before I knew I wanted to deepen my practice, so I enrolled in a 200-hour yoga teacher training program. I didn’t sign up to teach; I signed up as an act of personal development.
Looking back, that decision was transformative. Running a business so young, I faced internal challenges like impatience and self-doubt. I wanted everything to happen as fast as I moved, but life had other plans. Through yoga, I learned to slow down and embrace the process. That 10-month program helped me build confidence, get to know myself on a deeper level, and find new ways to manage the overwhelm that came with entrepreneurship. By the end of 2019, I had a certification and a newfound interest in mindfulness, meditation, and even astrology.
By this point, I realized I didn’t just want to run a social media agency; I wanted to teach. I began running workshops for women entrepreneurs, teaching them how to use social media to grow their businesses. I hosted four successful workshops before the world shut down in 2020, which brought its own set of challenges and redirections. That year forced me to reassess everything. By the end of 2020, I was offering astrology and mindfulness services alongside my client work, blending my passions in a way that felt more aligned with who I was becoming.
In August 2021, I decided to take a full-time job at a marketing agency in Hamilton. It was a stabilizing decision, and while I continued to manage a few clients and build my astrology and mindfulness business on the side, I realized quickly that working for someone else wasn’t my forever path. After two years, my soul felt tired. I knew I was meant to create, to build, and to work on my own terms. By October 2023, I left the 9-to-5 world to fully dedicate myself to my spiritual business.
Since then, I’ve poured my heart into growing my practice as a Mindfulness Teacher and Astrologer. I’ve worked with over 40 social media clients and more than 450 astrology and meditation clients. I’ve written a book, started a podcast, spoken at events, and been featured in online magazines. But the real milestones are the personal ones: building confidence, discovering my authentic self, and feeling safe to share her with the world. I’ve connected with incredible humans and built a community I’m proud of.
Entrepreneurship has been the most profound journey of self-discovery I could have imagined. It’s not just about the work; it’s about the growth. There were moments of doubt, confusion, and fear, but there was also an unwavering belief that the riskiest thing I could have done was not to start at all. I’m endlessly grateful to 20-year-old Lisa for diving in headfirst without overthinking it. That leap of faith has led me here, and I wouldn’t change a thing.

HI, I’m Lisa!
If you’re here, our souls were meant to connect! I’m a true believer in divine timing and am on a lifelong journey to harnessing energy and learning to trust the universe.
I believe that everything happens for a reason, including the people who come into our lives. So, if you have landed on this page, I'm grateful to have crossed paths with you digitally and hope to connect.
I’ve been an entrepreneur for over 10 years now. I’ve done it young, with no experience, learning as I grow, full-time, part-time, non-stop, experiencing burnout and over identifying with being self-employed.
The entirety of my adult life I have been entrepreneur, it is in my bones to build something and work for myself. I say it is the longest relationship I have been in. I have grown up and “adulted“ with my entrepreneurship journey. Now I share my story hoping there is something you can take from my experiences of trial and error to help you on your journey!
Lisa is available for Speaking, Podcasting and Guest Teaching Opportunities. Reach out to inquire.
Lisa you rock and all your work and you professionalism is greatly appreciated. Marilyn was commenting last week about the amazing and effective postings you do on Facebook. I am beyond grateful for all you are doing and so skillfully. What a lucky organization we are to have a communication professional who also happens to be a meditation and yoga teacher who believes in and so deeply understands the mission. I think your images really reflect the kind of organization we want to be, and I love your organized approach to promoting our events. - Namaste, Ken & Peggy, Mindfulness Hamilton
“Really grateful for how smooth and supportive this experience was. Lisa was so organized and clear, which made everything feel easy and stress-free. Communication was always thoughtful and timely, and her grounded, intentional approach really stood out. I’m genuinely so happy with how everything turned out!” - Karen Melissa Photography
“I have had the pleasure to participate in both a workshop as well as a beginner astrology course with Lisa. She has a true passion for astrology and inspires us to want to learn more about ourselves. Her insight, through astrology, helps us to develop a deeper understanding as to what motivates us and why. Lisa is a natural teacher. She is positive, intuitive, patient and communicates well.” - Carita
“You’ve honestly had such an impact on my journey related to the moon and leaning into the flow! Thank you and I love everything in the book!” -Stephanie
“I listened to the podcast today and love how you brought up the moon cycle! It makes so much sense with my moon in cancer at 14 degrees with all the challenges that this period of my life has had! So ready for this new cycle. I loved this episode. Excited to listen to more!” -Steph
