A note from Dr. Lisa

I’m now in the decade of life that was my mother’s last. That reality made my health my priority, and travel has become part of how I care for it.

Travel is a powerful part of who I am, pushing me beyond my comfort zone. At the same time, it reminds 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’re a Black Professional Woman in the last decade or two of your working life. You’ve done what others said couldn’t be done, and you’ve poured into your job, your family, and your friends for years. You’re ready to put your health and yourself first, but your decisions – including those about travel – still get shaped by everyone else. You may not see travel as a way to take care of yourself, and when you do go, rest never makes the itinerary.

Travel is not indulgent. It is necessary. It is self-care in motion, and it is one of the most powerful ways you can invest in your own well-being. 💫

 

I Help Black Professional Women:

✈️ Move through the world with confidence, joy, and a deep sense of self

🌿 Let go of the pressure to perform and simply be present in the experience

🌍 Create meaningful travel experiences that restore the mind, body, and spirit

🧘🏾‍♀️ Embrace travel as an intentional practice of self-care, so you come home rested, not needing a vacation from your vacation

🤎 Plan trips around how you want to feel while you’re gone and how you want to feel when you get back

 

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.

 

How We’ll Work Together 🤝🏾

  • A Complimentary consultation to talk about your goals
  • 1:1 virtual values-based coaching sessions (weekly or bi-weekly) to identify how you want to feel during your trip and how you want to feel when you return
  • Support check-ins while you’re traveling so you never feel alone on your journey
  • Post-trip reflection session to celebrate, process, and reset for what’s next

 

I look forward to helping you travel in a way that pours back into you! 💫

Travel Coaching Testimonials

"If you’re anything like me and feel a little wary about trying new things, especially when it comes to travel, Lisa is an incredible resource. Lisa guided me every step of the way and truly helped ease those fears and has given me confidence in future trip planning. What really stood out was her unique approach to planning intentionally. She did not just focus on the destination but encouraged me to think about how I wanted to feel going into the trip, during it, and even when I returned home. That perspective completely changed how I approached travel and made the experience so much more meaningful... The trip has been the most fulfilling and rewarding experience of my life."

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.

Lisa P. is a travel adventurer extraordinaire! She is an excellent communicator with a compassionate and thoughtful approach to travel. She invests time and thought into trip planning, maximizing every travel opportunity she commits to. Lisa has a way of sharing and describing her travels through her blog, and sparks your curiosity and intrigue, whilst making every country she travels to realistically accessible. 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.

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.
