I saw Lisa a few days ago, and definitely plan on returning. She's extremely nice and easy to talk to. She gave me some information that really brought closure. I would highly recommend seeing Lisa if you have lost someone in your life and need closure or guidance to move forward. Not to mention her room is very cozy and calming.

Had my first ( but not last) session with Lisa today . Not only did she really listen to me but she gave me wonderful information & advise . She was really in tune with my spirituality . She's very easy to talk to . Made me feel like I had known her forever . Very knowledgeable too ! Towards the end of our session, I felt like a weight had been lifted. Thank you Lisa !
