Who is Lisa, Certified Ipsalu Tantra Instructor and Sensual Lifestyle Consultant?
I am a wife, mommy of one, law school graduate, foodie, mosaic artist, surfer, and cosmopolite. I am a professional bellydancer with 14 years of formal classical Egyptian, Turkish, and American fusion bellydance experience. Over several years I have studied and became certified to teach Ipsalu Tantra Kriya Yoga through Tantrika International. I also have a strong background in Kundalini Tantra, philosophy, nutrition, meditative movement, and world cultures, and have dabbled in the basics of quantum physics and ayurveda, as well as other forms of mind/body/spirit integration. The common thread throughout my meanderings has been the connection between sensuality and self-discovery. I developed a strong desire to share the fruits of my priceless journey with others. I embraced the idea that joy and sensuality should be celebrated rather than repressed and this has evolved into the central concept of my practice. Human beings are inherently meant to experience fun and sensuality as part of our nature.  My basic philosophy is, if it's not fun, then why bother?

With my unique and diverse experience as a foundation, I artfully lead you through the alchemy of sensuality and the tantric arts where you will uncover your own powers of individual authenticity, unconditional love, psychic sensitivity, emotional freedom, and creative sexual energies. I first empower you to believe in your dreams and then to take the steps to make them reality. I am your coach, your mentor, and also your connection to appropriate professional resources for fashion, beauty, financial planning, fitness, career planning, etc., that you may need along the way.

Coaching and Presentation Style
I am here to share my special gifts with you. I am not like your mama, a mystical guru, a self-proclaimed priestess, or a late-night self-help infomercial loaded with psychobabble and outlandish promises. I am not into the trendy business of peddling the "hottest new" holistic healing therapies. I am simply a mentor and guide, and teacher of tantra. Authenticity and sincerity are the two most important qualities of my practice. I present the tantric arts in a straightforward and practical, yet fun manner that is neither abstract nor pollyanna. I am your friend and confidante, I like to laugh, and I know when to be serious. I never impose my own truths on you, but with the knowledge and experience I share, you will discover your own. My curiosity will engage you and get you thinking. I am completely honest and firm, but not brutal. I am objective in my observation, yet I care deeply about your ultimate happiness and well being.
