About Lisa Jamison

Welcome! I'm Lisa, and I specialize in Integrated Somatic Therapies. I'm a Compassionate Inquiry Practitioner, Coach/Trainer, Body Worker, Yoga Therapist, Breathwork facilitator, educator, and all around great gal (not necessarily in that order!). I thrive on watching people move, both in sport/activity as well as how one maneuvers the world. Professionally I can help you do that with more grace, ease, and efficiency...AND help you determine those pesky limitations, often from adverse experiences/trauma. It's about eliminating the stresses on your body and teaching you a new way. Physically. Cognitively. Emotionally. Body, mind, and spirit.

Feelin’ Groovy.  Yes I am.  I haven’t been able to say that for a few weeks, but now I have some renewed vigor.  And vim.  Yeah, it’s all about the vim.  I haven’t been feelin’ so hot, which forced me … Continue reading →

State of the Union

Posted on March 6, 2011 by Lisa Jamison

It ain’t pretty.  The National Center for Health Statistics, part of The Centers for Disease and Prevention, recently released their annual report.  Did I say it ain’t pretty?  Actually, it’s down right ugly, and more than a little frustrating. The good news … Continue reading →

Green With Envy!

Posted on March 5, 2011 by Lisa Jamison

When in Rome…call it “Gidi” (?) I’ve begun getting vegetables by way of a very health/environmental-friendly pal.  Each week she delivers (to her large following) a newly picked array of freshness from a pair of sisters who have been working … Continue reading →

Is it time to Surrender?

Posted on January 22, 2011 by Lisa Jamison

Today I wimped out of my bike ride in favor of the warmth and still air of my garage trainer.  Desiring 90 minutes workout I put on some tunes and pedeled.  Tried to play some games.  Tried to get my … Continue reading →

http://www2.tbo.com/content/2011/jan/21/211119/4UNEWSO10-training-without-pain-requires-balanced-/  I do not sound like Forrest Gump.  There are no photos of my backside.  And DV reports less knee pain.  Life is good!

Forrest Gump Fitness

Posted on January 13, 2011 by Lisa Jamison

My friend DV contacted me the other day.  She’s friend, yogi, new runner, and health columnist for the Tampa newspaper.  She wanted to pick my brain a bit…column, yoga, injury, philosophy, how I put it all together.  A heavy sigh came forth as … Continue reading →

The Prince(ss) of Tides

Posted on January 3, 2011 by Lisa Jamison

What will you let ebb…what will you let flow? Ebbing and flowing.  Waxing and waning.  Coming and going.  Yinning and Yanging (?).  It’s the natural order, don’t you know.  So much of our natural lives are almost ruled by the … Continue reading →

The Rainbow Connection

Posted on January 2, 2011 by Lisa Jamison

My apologies to Kermit The Frog for stealing his line.  And my apologies to The Telegraph for stealing their photo.  And while I’m at it…heck, it’s the first of the year and I’m not in the mood for apologizing for … Continue reading →

Lucky Bird

Posted on December 28, 2010 by Lisa Jamison

I’ve said it before:  when I travel I pretend I’m on holiday, even if on business.  So while on an actual holiday, I don’t worry about the weather, scheduling snafus, random changes in scheduling, etc.  I happily walk through airports … Continue reading →

Training to climb, climbing to train

Posted on December 10, 2010 by Lisa Jamison

Tomorrow.  December 11.  Saturday morning.  The Bank of America Stairwell beckons.  As consumed (addicted?) to things that I can get, the stairs indeed call my name.  A sorry muse for a weekend of glorious weather, I might add.  I swore … Continue reading →
