Who is Lisa?

Lisa is a certified life coach, podcaster, lawyer and, most importantly, full-time single mother to a teenager with Autism and other co-morbid diagnoses. Lisa and her son, Ben, live in Simsbury,

CT. After years of white knuckling it on her own, Lisa created The Autism Mom Coach to support parents in their day to day challenges raising a child with special needs. In her 1:1 coaching

program, Lisa teaches her clients how to manage their minds, regulate their emotions and self-soothe their nervous systems using cognitive behavioral tools, a polyvagal informed approach

and her real-life, in the trenches, experiences as a parent raising a teenager with Autism.
