Lise began her career in empowerment and healing as a counsellor; a crisis counselor for 12 years with Saint Lukes-Roosevelt Hospital in NYC, for Survivors of Domestic Violence and Rape. As a Certified Addictions Practitioner; Lise educates, coaches, mentors  and helps those wishing to detox, withdraw, taper and recover from dependence on medications, recreational drugs and habits that do not support optimal health.   An innovator in Addictions - Lise uses an integrative approach to resolve physical and emotional trauma, allergies, microbiome imbalance, (leaky gut) damaged and  neurotransmitter deficiencies, chemical, heavy metal, and environmental toxins  to support deep healing and remove the cause for craving.   In over 30 years of practice, Lise considers  addiction and substance mis-use not as a weakness of character, but a result of many causes.
