FAQ
What is Narrative Healing™?
Narrtive Healing™ is a mind-body writing program I created in 2016. What began as a series of retreats, conferences, and workshops has since blossomed into a book, an online community, and a thriving membership called The Narrative Healing Salon.
Rooted in somatic awareness, mindfulness, and creative practice, Narrative Healing is designed to help you connect with your voice, regulate your nervous system, and cultivate a sustainable writing life—within a compassionate community.
What is The Narrative Healing Studio?
This paid tier is your writing sanctuary—a space to reconnect with your voice, explore your creative practice, and feel held in a community that honors depth, presence, and transformation.
As a Studio member, you’ll receive:
✨ A Monthly Live Lab – A live gathering led by Lisa to ground, write, and explore the stories moving through you
✨ A Curated Library of Seasonal Creative Rituals – Recorded Narrative Healing sessions to engage with at your own pace (launching this June)
✨ 50% Off Monthly Expert-Led Workshops – A $55 value each month, featuring celebrated authors, healers, and thought leaders
✨ Early Invitations – Be the first to know about upcoming retreats, Listening Circles, and The Salon
What are the Writing Labs?
Lisa’s signature somatic-based, trauma-informed writing practice
Offered monthly through Substack, these live Writing Labs are an anchor point for your creative life. Rooted in trauma-informed principles and guided by the body’s wisdom, each session blends breathwork, gentle movement, reflective prompts, and quiet time to write in community.
We begin by arriving in the body—through breath, stillness, or mindful movement
Then we write—following prompts designed to unlock what’s ready to be heard
We close in shared presence—co-regulating through community and silence
Whether you're working on a book, journaling through a life transition, or carving out sacred creative time, the Labs offer a steady space to return to your voice, again and again.
What is the Narrative Healing Circle?
The Narrative Healing Circle is a founding member tier of The Writing Body. With a one-time gift of $640, you’ll receive a full year of support—and extend the same gift to another writer. You can nominate someone dear to you, or we’ll match your generosity with a writer on our scholarship waitlist.
Here’s what you’ll receive:
A signed copy of Narrative Healing, mailed with love
Weekly letters, writing prompts, and reflections every Wednesday
Early access to retreats, workshops, Listening Circles, and special offerings
Founding Member recognition in the community
A free 30-minute private coaching session with Lisa
And most meaningfully: you sponsor one year of Narrative Healing membership for a fellow writer who may not otherwise be able to access this work
This circle is a collective offering rooted in generosity, reciprocity, and the belief that stories have the power to heal us—individually and collectively.
Looking for something deeper? Join The Salon

Is this for me if I’m not sure I’m a “real” writer?
Yes. One of the core beliefs of Narrative Healing is that everyone has a story to tell—and that writing can be a healing, grounding, and joyful practice no matter your background or experience.
Whether you’re writing to heal, to create, or to share your work with the world, there’s a place for you here.
