1:1 Sessions

My work with individuals is driven by whatever is most alive and important to each person. You are not someone to be fixed or changed. You are welcomed in your wholeness and your parts, your great heart and broken heart. Through deep listening to you, we follow the vital threads of your unfolding life.

About Lisa Ferguson, Ph. D.

My sweetspot in working with people is the intersection of awakening and healing, and how love wants to move into action.

My work includes:

  • Spiritual inquiry

  • Psychological healing practices such as Internal Family Systems/parts work

  • “Worldwork” or an exploration of how navigate the metacrisis from greater wellbeing and capacity

Together we explore your unfolding journey according to what is most deeply meaningful to you.

I hold a Ph.D. in Transpersonal Psychology, with decades of experience offering a variety psycho-spiritual approaches to wellbeing and awakening. My approach is integrative, compassionate and presence-based. My background includes spiritual inquiry, meditative and compassion practices, trauma-informed nervous system restoration and regulation, leadership embodiment coaching (based in martial arts), dreamwork and psychological depth work, teaching qigong, permaculture (co-creating with the web of life), unwinding racism and sexism, integrating non-ordinary states of consciousness, systems thinking and interpersonal neurobiology.

I’m a healing arts practitioner and sometime organizer and activist. I also worked in the corporate world in tech for over a decade. I especially welcome people who are called to respond to our world in crisis, whether in your work, parenting, activism or daily life. Whether you are burned out or just getting started, I can support you in greater clarity, ease and alignment through the exploration of “engaged nonduality”.

My most important training is through my own experience and working with skilled mentors and practitioners. Suffering and a belief in my own insufficiency drove much of my spiritual and psychological exploration. What a relief to discover (through all that striving) that I didn’t need to strive at all. That awakening is a coming home, not an escape. That healing is about wholeness, not fixing “flawed” parts. At the heart of my journey has been an unfolding deepening of “nondual compassion”: the embodied love in action that arises from a recognition of non-separation, and a natural kindness toward any struggling parts.

My approach to working with people is based on the principles of Awakening, Healing and Serving

Awakening

is the essential recognition that we are not separate. Not only are we deeply interconnected with the web of life and our human family, we are truly not separate - we are of the same essence. As this realization deepens, we experience our innate wholeness that does not need to be earned, improved or fixed. We can relax into being and welcome all of our human experience.

Healing

is the process of moving toward emotional wellbeing rooted in compassion and essential wholeness. Through processes such as parts work, nervous system restoration, meditative inquiry and compassionate attending, our emotional weather patterns and conditioned tendencies are not problems to be fixed but opportunities for fully being . 

Serving

involves listening to our inner wisdom and following what is truly alive and resonant for us. In this process we attune with both our deep knowing and the collective field, and allow the expression of our unique gifts, our life work in all its forms, to be an embodied expression of love in action. Any challenges or “obstacles” are welcomed as opportunities to deepen in awakening and healing.
