I help mothers who want to grow find their creative power in life and on the page.

If you’ve ever slammed a drawer too hard, snapped at your kids, then felt instantly guilty… I help you understand why you’re really angry, and how to express it without blowing up or shutting down.
Healing through reclaimed power, self-love and creative expression.

 

I am here for the mum who says “it’s fine” while cleaning up dinner plates with clenched teeth—then lies in bed beside her partner feeling invisible and angry—I’ll help you speak up with honesty and love, instead of letting resentment boil over.

I work with mums who are tired of repeating the same argument—"I need more help!"—only to be met with defensiveness or nothing at all. I teach you how to ask for support in a way that actually lands, and feels good to say.

If you’ve ever found yourself yelling, then apologising, then feeling like the worst mum in the world—this work helps you pause, breathe, and respond instead of react. So you feel proud, not regretful, at the end of the day.

Join The Circle for Mums: Unwinding with Art & Sisterhood 

A sacred space where you can breathe again.
A place to unlearn the ‘shoulds’ and reconnect with who you truly are.

  • A safe, judgment-free space to be fully seen

  • Healing conversations & self-discovery

  • Tools to release guilt, anger & stuckness

The Circle for Mums in Ocean Grove

Self-paced creative journaling experience:

Your inner critic doesn’t have to run the show.

You can respond with kindness instead of spiraling into self-blame.
You can trust your instincts, speak your truth, and stop apologising for needing space.

And no, you don’t need to be an artist.

The Art of Self-Compassion is a self-paced online experience to help you quieten your inner critic (without silencing her).

You used to want to be close.
Now, even a hug makes you flinch.


Not because you don’t love them — but because there’s no room left in you.
You’ve been running on empty for so long that touch feels like another thing someone wants from you.

They think you’re being cold.
But you’re just tired… of feeling like a mother to everyone.

I help you come back to your own body, your own needs, your own voice.
Not to “fix the relationship,” but to reconnect with yourself first.
Because real intimacy — the kind that feels good — can only grow when you stop abandoning you.

How can I support you?

The Circle for Mums is a nurturing and safe space to express yourself creatively alongside other mums.

Lisa was of tremendous support for me. She is a wonderful listener and helped me regain my mental and emotional balance (those postpartum hormones are no joke!). Sometimes I'd just need some reassurance and compassion, sometimes she helped me find a much needed new perspective. 
I cannot recommend Lisa highly enough!
Lisa gave me practical tips to manage stress and anxiety. It was like having a personal coach for my emotions.

I seriously can't imagine going through this life-changing time without her. If you're expecting and want an awesome counsellor who knows IFS, go see Lisa!
With her expertise and life experience Lisa has given me guidance, support and compassion when I truly needed it. Her understanding of the roller coaster that is motherhood has been so reassuring. She has enabled me to seek help when needed, be kind to myself and accept imperfection.

Hi, I am Lisa

I am a Mama, a counsellor, and a creative (and so much more!).

For years, I thought there was something wrong with me.


I struggled with postnatal depression, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms—undiagnosed for six years.
I tried to be the “perfect mother and wife” I thought I was supposed to be.
But no matter how hard I tried, it never felt right.

I thought I was the problem. That I was just not cut out to be a good mum.
But here is what I learned: The version of motherhood I was trying to fit into was what was making me sick.

When I finally found someone who took me seriously and listened to what I was experiencing, everything changed.
I wasn’t broken—I was conditioned to believe I had to suffer.

Through IFS therapy, journaling, and deep inner work, I reclaimed myself.
I let go of the impossible expectations.
I stopped silencing myself.
I created a version of motherhood and life that feels expansive and true.

And I forged a strong, safe bond to myself, my children, and my husband.


Now I help other mothers do the same.

This is your permission slip to stop shrinking.
To stop waiting for things to get better.
To take back your power.

I invite you to step into the life you were always meant to live.

Lisa Quinney and her family

A Medicine
Woman's Prayer

I will not rescue you.

For you are not powerless.

I will not fix you.

For you are not broken.

I will not heal you.

For I see you, in your wholeness.

I will walk with you through the darkness,

as you remember your light.
