A note from Dr. Lisa

Travel has become a powerful part of who I am. It pushes me beyond my comfort zone while reminding me to slow down, stay present, and reconnect with myself, especially when life keeps me focused on “what’s next.”

I come home from each journey feeling grounded, empowered, and more aligned with my authentic self!

I'm not special - I'm determined.

Travel in a Way That Honors You! ✨

You deserve to move through the world without shrinking, second-guessing, or apologizing! Your identity, well-being, and life experiences matter, and they shape the way you travel.

I help you:

Embrace confidence and joy on every journey ✈️
Release expectations that no longer serve you 🌿
Create travel experiences that nourish your whole self: mind, body, and spirit 🤎

If You’ve Been Pouring Into Everyone Else… 🧡

So many Black professional women give endlessly to work, family, and community, and leave themselves for last. If you’re ready to shift that balance and make travel part of your self-care and renewal, I’m here to guide you.

1:1 virtual coaching sessions (weekly or bi-weekly) throughout the planning process

Travel Coaching Testimonials

Over the last 10+ years, Lisa has organized several trips that I have had the pleasure of joining her on. Her planning has begun as far out as a year in advance, with timely and informative emails sent at regular intervals prior to the departure date. While well-versed in the details of traveling herself, she makes a point of ensuring those less traveled are aware of both necessary and helpful information. This includes advice on the best time to purchase airline tickets, reminders on visa / passport requirements, and advocating the benefits of trip insurance. Lisa’s extensive travel experience has left her with a gold mine of information for those interested in seeking it.

Grass Lake, Michigan

Lisa Pittman is a consummate traveler, having toured over 100 countries. Reading her travel blogs, it is apparent that Lisa does her pre-travel research into travel entry requirements, countries' cultures, and histories. She makes the most of her time while "on the ground," experiencing local life and touring important historical sites and distinctive geographical features. Anyone considering working with a travel coach would do very well working with Lisa.

She ignites the 'wow' factor in travel, and makes you think and feel, “I want to go there, experience that, do that too!” Whether you are trying to decide where to go next, or you are unsure of how to plan as a first-time traveller. Lisa is – guaranteed - the one you want to connect with for a personalised experience.

Lisa, having traveled to 100+ countries and counting, is my go-to source for any travel-related question I may have, from the best current travel deals to the most efficient routes to take. Having traveled with her, I can say that her attention to detail is second to none. I was able to truly relax on vacation, as she had thoughtfully taken care of all the arrangements well in advance.
