Dr. Lisa Cooney, Master ThetaHealer® is a native New Yorker. Although she left New York after College, she still loves the city that never sleeps and considers her upbringing the key to the most successful part of her – ACTION! Her directness coupled with her 20 years of spiritual compassion built on the west coast in Arizona and California have led her to her doctorate in psychology in consciousness and spirituality with a sub concentration in Socially Engaged Spirituality.

Dr. Lisa believes in balance – mind, body, spirit, energetic and ethereal. She believes it is as important to live grounded to the earth as it is to live connected to the light, the heavens, to God, Spirit, Amma, Buddha, Atanaha, Allah, Creator or your chosen spiritual guidance system. Her spiritual growth and service work began from an existential experience at age 7. It was then she was given information that guided her to ThetaHealing® although it took her a couple of decades to get there.

Dr. Lisa began her work in the field of mental health as a candy striper, teacher’s aide, youth crisis shelter worker with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps and eventually a counselor and then a licensed marriage and family therapist. In her youth, she received many awards for staff of the year at a residential treatment center for adjudicated youth offenders and a number of certificates of excellence for her work with the courts on behalf of victims and perpetrators of violent crimes. Her internships at a psychiatric children’s hospital and a suicide crisis center taught her valuable crisis handling skills that are used to this day. She has facilitated thousands of groups and workshops in psychodrama, the victim triangle, the circle of empowerment, breath work, dream work and basic boundary setting and advanced empowerment techniques for victims of sexual abuse and domestic violence. Her group work has been known as a ‘sacred healing cauldron.’

Dr. Lisa works well with both genders, and has deep connections with many races, nationalities and religions. Her clients and students are from Israel, Italy, India, Germany, Argentina, Mexico, Guatemala, Greece, Pakistan to name a few and she works with many people across the United States in over 15 states. Spiritually, she has traveled on pilgrimage to France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Israel, Portugal, and Greece and has studied the entire world’s religion to some extent. Although she was raised Irish/Italian Catholic, she found her home in Judaism and her spirit in Hinduism. Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa and Mata Amritanandamayi (Amma) are her guiding light to serve humanity with heart and remain humble in mind. Dr. Lisa believes in ‘oneness’ and is why she has dedicated her professional life to the service of humankind for mental, spiritual, emotional, physical, energetic, social and ethereal balance. She believes there is no greater time to heal and change the evolutionary consciousness of the planet than right now.

Dr. Lisa loves children and has dedicated her life to return home the lost children our adult ego has forgotten. She lives by a motto of her spiritual teacher which says “The childlike innocence deep within you is God.” She believes it is now time to allow the ‘God’ in humans to shine and thrive and that ThetaHealing® is the modality to do just that. Each day she lives in gratitude for finding Vianna Stibal and receiving the teachings at the Master ThetaHealing® and Certificate of Science Level.

An illness drove Dr. Lisa to ThetaHealing® and the illness left from the belief work and the lifestyle habits the technique instilled in her. Her violent upbringing and ancestral programs limited her life force and since clearing herself through this modality her life has been a joyful pleasure, full of light, love, fun, healing and play. Life is easy when you let go, forgive, heal and allow yourself the permission to thrive. We are meant to be, do and have everything that is in the highest truth and light of love. May we all step into our alignment and live the magic of the oneness of the Creator of All There Is…
