Hey, I'm Lisa!

For over 20 years, I’ve been a project management consultant, mainly working with beauty companies on product launches. Digital workflows, launch timelines, cross-functional coordination—I could do it in my sleep!
But here’s the ironic part: while I was orchestrating complex product launches for major brands, my personal life was chaos. Forgot-to-buy-groceries-again, where-did-I-put-my-keys, how-is-it-already-time-for-school-pickup kind of chaos.

So I applied my professional skills to my personal life. Created systems for meal prep, school activities, household management. And it helped! Life became more manageable.

Yet I was still exhausted. Tight shoulders. Racing thoughts at 3am. That constant feeling of running on fumes even when my to-do list was under control.

That’s when I returned to my outlet of yoga. Especially my favorite kind: Yin yoga—the slow, deep practice focused on fascia release and calming the nervous system. Then I explored Reiki. I fell in love with practices that actually addressed what was happening in my mind and body, not just my calendar.

Yet, I kept these two worlds completely separate. PM consulting paid the bills. Yoga and energy work fed my soul. I thought these two worlds had no connectivity or overlap.

Then I eventually realized… the best system in the world won’t help if your body is stuck in fight-or-flight. And all the meditation in the world won’t help if your inbox and mental to-do lists are completely out of control.

We’re all overwhelmed. We all need both—the practical systems AND the practices that help our nervous system actually rest.

That’s what Smart Happy Space is all about: building on the integration of both. Because your overwhelm lives in your mind AND your body.

The Grounded Productivity System

What You'll Learn: The Cognitive + Somatic Integration Approach

At Smart Happy Space, we address all sides of overwhelm:

Your Systems: It’s essential to create sustainable workflows that actually fit your life. Whether that’s taming your inbox, building simple practices and routines that work, using technology to streamline all the things in your head—together we’ll make your digital world manageable.

Your Nervous System: Practices that help your body downshift from constant urgency is an absolute must. This includes recognizing your natural energy rhythms, creating genuine pauses in your day, and learning to spot when you’re operating from fight-or-flight instead of intentional choice.

The Integration: This is where it all comes together. A well-designed system that accounts for how your nervous system actually works. Productivity approaches that include rest as strategy, not just reward. The ability to pursue your goals without burning yourself out.

My Background

I’m a 200-hour certified yoga teacher with additional training in Yin yoga and Reiki Level 2. I’ve also spent over 20 years as a project management consultant, primarily working with beauty companies on product launches and process development. I’ve also supported biotech startups, finance companies, and global nonprofits with process development, business integrations, and complex project execution.

These credentials weren’t supposed to go together. But it turns out the people who need systems most are often the ones running on empty. And sustainable productivity requires both.

Now, I’m on a mission to share these life-enhancing strategies with other busy professionals like you. Whether you’re navigating a demanding career, managing multiple responsibilities, or running your own business, I’m here to show you how to:
  • Master tools for both work and life – so your projects AND your energy are managed in one clear system
  • Create pockets of calm using simple practices – breath work, grounding techniques, and yin yoga you can do in 5 minutes
  • Honor your natural rhythms – schedule tasks based on your energy, not just your calendar
  • Turn overwhelming to-do lists into sustainable action plans – that account for capacity, not just urgency
  • Build a productivity practice that doesn’t deplete you – because getting things done shouldn’t mean running on empty

Are you ready to transform your chaotic days into peaceful, productive (and dare I say, fun) adventures? Let’s do this together!
