Focus of my work are love and a joy for life as well as a free and open spiritual path in everyday life. Through healing the landscape of the soul, everyone can find balance and their own and unique place in the mystery and wonder of life.
I was born in Amsterdam in 1968 and grew up multilingual in the United States and Europe. My upbringing in a UN-family influenced me in being a bridge builder of different cultures and of a new era without borders starting at an early age; this is what the Rainbow stands for in LisaRainbow. I consider myself part of the fast-growing human group of global nomads: people who have lived and traveled extensively in numerous countries and continents and usually speak several languages, and feel at home everywhere on the planet.
At the same time, since I am 18, I am on a spiritual learning and healing path. My strongest influences were Sun Bear, Osho, Hawaiian Huna and Buddhism. Equally meaningful were and are for me being in nature, as well as extensive travels and encounters with whales and dolphins in the oceans of all continents. In the UN Year of the Dolphin, I spoke in the UN for the protection of the world´s oceans and its beings.
I am a certified Hatha-Yoga teacher, and learned Shiatsu and Reiki. I am trained in Family + System Sculpting according to Virginia Satir, Bert Hellinger as well as energetic and shamanic methods of work with ancestors.
In shamanic healing I work according to the Core Shamanism of Sandra Ingerman ("Soul Retrieval"), Sun Bear, and Hawaiian Huna and Ho´oponopono, as well as the Shamanic Star Wisdom of the Maya (Hunbatz Men), among others.
I live in Europe and Hawaii with my family.
I studied journalism in Boston and am a magna cum laude graduate. I wrote in this field for 10 years for magazines such as Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung-Magazin, Geo Saison, Süddeutsche Zeitung-Magazin, Elle, was editor for marie claire and radio talkshow host for SFB. Nowadays, I enjoy writing books and other works the most.
