Welcome to big heart practice,

My name is Lysa and I offer counseling and facilitation that attunes to relational presence, tending to our nervous systems innate heartful intelligence. Through individual sessions and group experiences, I co-create spaces where restoration emerges—not through striving, but with deep listening, curiosity, and care. My work supports deep explorations of our inherited conditioning in untangling from the myths of individualism and self-sufficiency culture.

big heart practice invites relational medicine for human hearts and hurts….

When loneliness longs for warmth and connection.

When exhaustion seeks rest and renewal found in communal care.

When tension aches for relief by being held with tenderness.

When uncertainty stirs—unsure how to ask for help, receive support, or trust in shared healing.

When soul longs to return to nature-based, ancestral, and connectedness practices.

When healing is no longer seen as a solitary journey, but as a tapestry woven through relationship.

to increase our capacities for….

Resilience to navigate and meet life’s challenges.

Cultivating meaningful relations.

Developing a greater sense of self-awareness and emotional balance.

Reconnecting with play, rest, and creativity.

Feeling a sense of belonging and connection to self, others, and the natural world.

Holding nuance and complexity at this space and time.

my approach blends….

Trauma-conscious, relational, and somatic approaches to healing—rooted in deep listening, movement, and earth-based practice.

Through individual, intimate, and group explorations, moving toward resilience, belonging, and meaningful connection. Whether you are navigating personal challenges, relational struggles, systemic overwhelm, or simply seeking a more embodied way of being, I offer a compassionate space to explore and restore.
