Today we’d like to introduce you to Lisa Treen.
Hi Lisa, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
MY STORY
I was born in Hollywood. I grew up in Northridge with a blended family. I had a strong independent mother and lots of sisters and girlfriends. Then worked mainly on women. I seem to surround myself with strong capable independent women. They were great teachers for me. In many ways, women became part of my journey. I was very young when I started sensing things that other people didn’t.
My journey started when I was 23 I spent many years as a manicurist.. I spent hours each day holding people’s hands, and I quickly realized that it wasn’t just about the service — it was about the connection. Through touch, I could feel what people were carrying emotionally, and over time, I learned how to be present with them in a way that made them feel truly seen and heard.
They came not just for a manicure, but for the sense of calm and connection they found in those sessions. That experience opened my eyes to the power of the mind-body connection. I knew I was meant to do something more to make a difference for the people I touched.
So I started studying, training, each training connected more the dots for me. And eventually created my own business dedicated to helping people reconnect with themselves — physically, emotionally, and energetically — using the foundation of what I first discovered through the simple act of holding a hand.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
OBSTACLES AND CHALLENGES
One of the biggest challenges I faced was simply finding a way to make my dream a reality. At the time, I was a full-time manicurist, working hard, raising three young children, my husband work nights. I just didn’t have the time and energy to put myself through massage school. It felt like a huge mountain to climb.
But I was incredibly lucky — my mother-in-law saw something in me. She recognized my passion and my drive, and she believed in what I was trying to build. She stepped in and helped me with what ever I needed for my schooling. It was such a gift, and it changed the course of my life.
It wasn’t easy. I would work during the day, take care of my family, and then go to school at night. There were a lot of long days and late nights. But I loved it — I poured my heart into it. And I wasn’t alone. My village — my husband family and my friends — showed up for me.
Looking back, I realize that without that support system, I wouldn’t be where I am today. It really took a whole community of love and belief to help me step into the work I was meant to do. Another challenge I had was believing that what I was seeing and feeling, and hearing was not my imagination. I had to believe it for other people to believe in me. I went on to the Upledger Institute to get a more in depth, education. This is where I spent years learning, Craniosacral therapy, through that education everything I felt was validated. And explained. I had many more trainings after that. Every training connected more and more of th

WHAT IS SUCCESS TO YOU
To me, it’s about being in service. And to raise the vibrations, to bring people into their highest good.
I am amazed that people will wait two months to see me. They truly desire the connection and the work we do together. That in itself is such a gift.
What fills me up is when my nieces and nephews and children and siblings call on me to help them. That they trust me and count on me. that’s a feeling that’s undescribable.
I see success as helping my clients not just in the moment, but teaching them how to help themselves, how to listen to their bodies, and how to connect to something bigger. And what’s amazing is that in doing that, I am so inspired by them.
Every day I get to do this work, to witness people’s growth and healing, I’m reminded that success is about meaningful connection — about creating a space where people feel safe, seen, heard, and empowered.

MORE ABOUT THE INTRIGUE OF WHAT YOU DO
What I do as a mindbody therapist can feel a little mysterious and intriguing to people. It’s not always something you can fully explain with words, because it’s about working directly with the soul. Our bodies have two minds, our conscious mind and the soul’s mind, that lives in our body.
Our bodies always tell the truth, our conscious mind is jaded because of our ego and our truth is not always accessible.
When someone comes to me, we work on layers, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. It’s a onion to be peeled. Spirit will only show me what the person is ready to release or shift at that time.
I am able to see, read , and feel the energy in the body and the auric field.
Trauma, emotion, fear, sadness, anger, is all stored in the tissue of the body. Also in the auric field.
I am never in charge, I am always guided by something bigger than me.
We work together as a team.
My clients are a very big part of their healing.
There’s a lot of surrendering that happens.
I really see myself as an alchemist, transforming energy in the body. I help people reconnect with themselves, clear out old patterns, and old beliefs, finding their way back to who they truly are — lighter, freer, and more whole.
It’s powerful work, and it still amazes me every day how the body and soul know exactly what they need when we give them the time and attention to listen.
Extra info
My experiences have taught me that some of our greatest challenges are really invitations to go deeper. In 2009, I broke my ankle, and it completely changed my life. Up until then, I was always on the move, but that injury forced me to be still. In that stillness, I found craniosacral therapy, and eventually trained as a practitioner. It was my first experience of truly listening to my body.
Then, ten years later, I broke both ankles while hiking. It felt like another call to pause and go even deeper. That’s when breathwork found me. It became a powerful tool for healing and transformation, and now I guide others as a breathwork coach.
What I’ve realized through these experiences is that my true gift is in intuiting the body. I can sense and follow energy, see where it’s stuck, and help guide clients to release it. Whether someone is physically tense or emotionally blocked, I can hold space for them to move through it. The body always knows the way, it just needs someone to listen and follow it there.
We take my dog yogi to the park every day. Yogi found a pack and so did we. I have found myself working with the dogs. Listening to the dogs body, following the energy through the dog and guiding the dogs release. I am able to speak to their rhythms, and find where the dog is having its issues. The beautiful thing about it is when the dog releases energy the owners also feel the energy leaving the dogs body.
And everybody sitting within 5 feet of us have tingles through their entire bodies. Dogs have souls just like people. They respond energetically just like people. They are readable just like people.
When I feel energy move or see it move, I feel it in my skin. My skin has a very strong sensory to energy. I am able to teach people to understand and connect to their sensations in their bodies. this is the evidence I can give people so they can understand.
Same thing when a loved one in spirit comes into the room I help people to feel the sensation of their presence.
