Let 2025 be the year you finally lean into your gift of empathy and thrive as an empath/HSP.

Hi, I’m ALISA.

I am a military spouse, life coach and occupational therapist. Originally from SoCal, I grew up in Thailand, the land of smiles, and Orange County. The past few years I’ve lived in San Francisco, Orange County and the High Desert. Currently I am an expat based in Okinawa, Japan. In the past decade I’ve had the honor of working with thousands of clients ages 0-101 in various settings.

My values are mindfulness, kindness and freedom. My #1 strength is empathy. Knowing your values and strengths, practicing meditation daily and building my support system have helped me to manage burnouts. As an empath and highly sensitive person (HSP), I can often feel overwhelmed with the energies of the environment, including of those around me. Through the years I’ve learned tools and skills that help me to thrive as an empath/HSP, and I’m ready to share them with you.

As a mental health occupational therapist, certified life coach and meditation teacher, I am here to make your life easier, whether it’s figuring out how to make meaningful connections, engaging in rewarding work or building a sustainable self-care practice as an empath or HSP. You don’t have to figure life out alone. The time is now to put yourself first. Consider joining the waitlist for life coaching with me or checking out free resources. Thank you for visiting my website.

I look forward to joining you on your journey to create a calm, meaningful, and authentic life in your corner of the world.
