In Lisa's words

I believe growth comes from understanding our experiences, learning from them, and using them to shape a meaningful future.

Lisa Fowler, on her approach

The counselling room: a deep grey sofa with teal cushions, a live-edge wooden coffee table, a soft chair, and a large window looking over green fields toward the water.

3 The space

A bright room with a view of the water

Sessions happen in a quiet room full of light: big windows, a live-edge coffee table, shelves of books and plants, a salt lamp and a deep sofa you can sink into. There is a calm waiting room with wicker chairs and botanical prints on the walls.

Prefer to stay home? Counselling and wellness sessions also run by video through Practice Better.

4 About Lisa

Our beginnings do not have to define our future.

Lisa became a mother as a teenager, without much sense of where life was headed. About ten years later she went back to school, moved her family to New Brunswick for college and started building something different.

Today she is a Registered Counselling Therapist with her own practice in Overton. She is also a very proud grandmother of three girls, which she calls the best gig in the world.

5 From Lisa's notebook

Doable daily habits

The small things Lisa does most days, in her own words. Yours will look different. Start with one.

  1. Early mornings

    Room-temperature water first thing, to help hydrate my organs. No breakfast. A snack or breakfast around 11 a.m. It helps my energy and focus.

  2. Daily supplements

    Chosen to support my body and what makes me vulnerable.

  3. Gratefulness

    Being present with my surroundings: the beauty, the stillness, the peacefulness, the amazement. A strategy I learned to combat anxiety.

  4. Exercise

    Walking and being outdoors, resistance training, weights, physical labour and chores.

  5. Podcasts

    Only the ones I love.

  6. Decluttering

    Clothes, papers, “stuff”. Clearing my personal spaces keeps me from becoming overwhelmed. Another strategy to reduce anxiety.

6 Take a minute

Breathe with the tide

Being present is one of the tools Lisa leans on for anxiety. Try it now: breathe in as the water rises and out as it falls. Six slow breaths take about a minute.

No screen needed: breathe in for a count of four and out for a count of six, six times.
