By folding in my five years of formal mindfulness training, I bring a unique and fresh perspective to the work I do with clients. In Zen, there is the phrase: beginners mind. It means to bring our attention to the present moment and to see and feel the world as if we were experiencing it for the first time. This approach supports new and creative thinking that can transform an organization and its approach.

MOUNTAIN VALLEY COACHING
“Lisa is the most artful, organized, and intuitive consultant I have ever worked with. I hired her in 2023 to help me optimize my business’ web presence, convey the value of my services, and rethink a few key business processes. From the get-go, Lisa was attentive and detail-oriented. She scoped our projects with a great deal of care and intuition, and regularly presented me with well-researched options and recommendations. There is no question that Lisa’s skilled support has enabled me to make smarter business decisions AND dedicate more of my time and energy to my clients.”

“Working with Lisa has been an absolute joy! She is warm, incredibly creative, knowledgeable, organized, collaborative and was the perfect person to help birth my non-profit vision into the world.
Lisa was easy to work with and put my mind at ease, while she did the technical heavy lifting with great efficiency.
Her grounded approach allowed me to just let go and trust while we co-created together. She was also mindful of my budget as a new non-profit, which was greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Lisa’s skill set and talent. I can’t wait to work with her in the future and am sincerely grateful for her!”
“Lisa has been assisting Mayu with short-term and long-term projects for the past several months. Her ability to simultaneously view the big picture and zero in on the details is remarkable.
As an overworked manager I love how meetings with Lisa are efficient and productive. She asks the right questions, welcomes collaboration, and offers her expertise confidently yet objectively.
She has been attentive to our limited budget, proposing creative alternatives to help us get projects across the finish line. We have seen tangible results within a few weeks, and with her strategic planning we are laying the groundwork for long-lasting stability. I hope to be working with Lisa for a very long time!”

“I have been working with Lisa for over a month and have already felt extremely supported in my business. From the moment I saw her, I felt at ease and confident that she would provide the support that I needed. She is always inspired to give her ideas and has a strong work ethic in getting things executed. She is extremely organized and completely dives into your business first hand and assesses your needs. She always helps you feel supported in your asking questions and following up.
I also LOVE that she is an expert in SO many things on the backend of business and it really makes everything more streamlined. I highly recommend Lisa for business support as she is off the charts talented in what she does, and very dependable, puts an amazing amount of energy into helping you be successful and has impeccable communication skills!!”

“Lisa swooped in and saved me at the perfect time, when I was about ready to throw in the towel. I am a passionate business owner and a busy mom, but didn’t have the organization and knowledge to accelerate my business to where I wanted it to go.
She has been so amazing in helping me every step of the way, empowering me to be organized, to be confident in honoring my unique voice, and communicating my ideal message that reflects what I want for the future of my business.
Her knowledge and presence within my business space has made me a more calm, centered, and effective business owner. I can’t thank her enough for it.”
“I received an email from Lisa out of the blue, offering her administrative support services to my small but growing Zen center. At first I told her we didn’t have the money to hire anyone, but after some reflection I realized how incredible helpful she could be, and I found the money.
Since then I delighted in working with Lisa – with her help, our website has gotten some major improvements, and we send out a beautiful weekly email newsletter that keeps our members engaged with the Zen center. Lisa is smart, responsible, responsive, skilled, and easy to work with. I highly recommend her!”

“Working with Lisa was a great experience. I wanted to combine the content of a couple of different websites and start getting more exposure for my content and teaching. I knew there were a lot of things I could do, but I wasn’t sure where to start. Then I met Lisa.
Over a couple of conversations and emails, she helped me hone in a message for my new site. Then she organized what needed to be done in building the new site. She also designed new logos and a several looks for the site. She really understood what I was looking for and seemed to have a great intuition for creating my site.
Lisa is a first-call creative, designer, and organizer, and I look forward to working with her again.”

“Lisa completely revamped the website for the Boise Zen Center. She has keen skills in both creative design and technology. We worked together as a team-going back and forth with ideas. The website has arrived into the 21st century through social media and email marketing; it is fresh and welcoming. After completing the project, she compiled a how to guide for the entire website.
What a gift for those of us not so knowledgeable about the ins and outs of website building. She has a dynamic spirit laced with bold guidance. In other words, she isn’t shy about stating what she thinks is important for generating an innovative product. I highly recommend working with her. It has been a joy!”

My company was in a bad spot because my previous IT company left me waiting with a website that no longer worked. Lisa built me an awesome new web site that was far better than the one I had before. And she did it in much less time than other companies had estimated they could do it. Now I’d like to mention her price, it was very fair. Her skills and attitude are bar none. I wish I had another business so I could hire her to build me another web site, that is how enjoyable my experience was with her.
“Working with Lisa was an eye opener for me and my video business, Captured Light Works. Her solid knowledge of business practice blended with mindfulness is unique in today’s market. She helped me refine my approach to new clients and strengthen my web presence. She even made my web site more approachable, which has made my client interaction stronger.
She continues to answer the hard questions I have and I highly recommend her if you need to take your business to the next level.”

Branding & Logos
Branding is so much more than just a logo. It’s what introduces your customers to your unique offerings, drawing them in so they want to learn more.
We will work together to flow the feeling and story of your company into beautiful imagery. Branding packages include custom brand colors, fonts, photos, & logo variations, with the goal of creating a cohesive and complete package for use across all media.
Operational support to create marketing materials with your new branding is also available upon completion.
Website Design
Your website is the first place your customers will experience your business online. First impressions are invaluable and happen within seconds. This first impression can either lead to a sale or a new google search.
We will work together to engage your ideal customer through crafting a visually stunning website through a flow of images and brand specific messaging. I will also do the technical heavy lifting on the backend to optimize your site so google and the rest of the world can find you (also known as SEO).
Just getting started? We can begin with completing your branding and then flow that into a new website. I will also advise you on the best website platform for your organization based on needs which can include WordPress, Squarespace, Shopify, and others.
Monthly Operational Support

I offer ongoing monthly consulting and operational support for a select number of clients.

Ongoing monthly clients also have access to me via voice chat (through voxer) during regular business hours throughout the week. Limited availability for new clients, please inquire here.
