Meet Lisa Mendicino

Lisa is a kinesiologist and mind–body medicine practitioner who blends modern integrative health techniques with ancient shamanic wisdom to support deep healing and personal transformation. Her approach is gentle, intuitive, and grounded in the belief that the body holds the answers we need to return to balance, clarity, and authentic self-expression. Before becoming a holistic health practitioner, Lisa spent over 20 years working as a criminal lawyer.
 
During this time, she supported clients with complex needs—individuals facing significant mental health challenges, addiction, trauma and social disadvantage. This experience shaped her compassionate, trauma-aware approach and strengthened her commitment to creating spaces where people feel truly seen, heard, and safe to heal.

Lisa has a special passion for supporting:
 
  • Women’s health including hormonal well-being and mental health
  • Neurodivergent minds with her neuro-affirming approach
  • Children and families seeking emotional balance and connection
  • Gender-diverse and gender-questioning individuals, supported through her additional training in gender dysphoria
  • Community connection through meditation circles.

At the heart of Lisa’s work is a commitment to help others feel safe in their bodies, restoring their connection to who they are and empowering them to live their best lives.
