Brainspotting

A gentle, somatic pathway for people moving through life transitions, emotional overwhelm, or simply feeling “done” with talking about it all.

What Is Brainspotting?

Brainspotting is a therapeutic modality that gently accesses the places where our emotional pain, stress, and old patterns are held in the body.

Instead of talking in circles or analyzing your way forward, Brainspotting works with eye position, mindfulness, and the nervous system to help your brain process what it’s been carrying — at a pace that feels safe, slow, and reparative.

Many people say:

  • “I didn’t have to explain everything to feel relief.”

  • “My body felt like it finally exhaled.”

  • “It helped me move through something I thought I had to think my way out of.”

Brainspotting allows your system to do the healing it already knows how to do — with gentle, steady support.

How A Session Works

Every session is collaborative, slow, and grounded.
Here’s what the process looks like:

  • We begin with breath, grounding, and orienting — helping your body feel safe, supported, and resourced.

  • Through conversation and curiosity, we locate a point in your visual field that connects to the sensation, emotion, or experience we're working with.

    This is your brainspot.

  • You simply hold your gaze on that spot while I support your system — tracking your body cues, guiding regulation, and creating space for what arises (or doesn’t).


    You don’t have to talk unless you want to.

  • We close with grounding, reflection, and bringing your system back to a sense of steadiness.

    Most people leave feeling softer, clearer, and more connected to themselves

As a somatic coach, breathwork facilitator, and death doula, I’ve learned that healing often happens in the quiet spaces beneath words.

Who This Work Is For

Brainspotting is especially supportive for people who are:

  • Moving through major life transitions

  • Feeling emotionally stuck

  • Craving a modality beyond talk therapy

  • Over-functioning or overwhelmed

  • Navigating grief or anticipatory grief

  • Sensitive, creative, or deeply introspective

  • Wanting to understand their nervous system in a new way

  • Ready to process inwardly rather than explain everything outwardly

If you’re longing for an approach that feels gentle, non-invasive, quiet, and body-based, you will feel at home here

  • "Lisa clearly and skillfully guided me through a brainspotting session. She helped me tap into difficult and challenging feelings, allowing me to sit with them and manage them in a new way. She also gave me the tools to hone in on positive feelings outside our session, making our work accessible anytime. Lisa is always patient, empathetic and creates a warm, soothing space to work through the full spectrum of issues and emotions."

    – Yelena

  • "I had no idea what to expect going into this experience. There is something about Lisa’s presence and gentle energy that creates a very safe space to release emotions. I had a release within a few minutes and the journey took me places I wasn’t even conscious of. Highly recommend brain spotting with Lisa!"

    – Kristi

  • "Lisa is an attentive listener with a calming presence. I was able to relax immediately and follow her guidance throughout the brainspotting session. If you are open to new approaches to healing and well being, I highly recommend giving this method a try."

    – Caroline

  • "There's something about Lisa's energy that makes you relax and want to open up. I had no idea what brainspotting even was before I met with Lisa. Her gentle nature and openness made me feel so comfortable and open to this new experience. I loved the warmth and buzzy sensation that flowed through me during the session. I would definitely like to try this again! (feel free to edit as needed)"
