“It’s about the journey – the fun and pleasure we receive from life daily. Some of us get overly focused on the destination, goals and achievements, and often at the expense of our loved ones, health and wellbeing. My mission is to support you to keep things in balance, to help you create the life you want through clarity, focus, education and powerful financial and
life strategies to build the foundation you need.”

Through consulting with Lisa, her clients take their lives from where it is to where they would love it to be and create the lifestyle they desire and deserve. Lisa works with her clients to clearly set their outcomes, align their finances, get clarity in business and career, and helps them enjoy the process of achieving those outcomes, whilst maintaining a strong sense of balance in their lives.

A best-selling author in New Zealand who has appeared on TV, radio and in several magazines and newspapers, she has regularly written for the NZ Herald, Sunday Star Times, YahooXtra, Women’s Day and the NZ Property Magazine.  Lisa is a respected and sought-after speaker who has worked with thousands of people from very diverse backgrounds and financial situations to assist them in building sustainable, long term financial and lifestyle wealth. As well as working with the well-known Money Man TV show providing pragmatic financial advice both on and off screen, she has also appeared on NZ Business, Breakfast, Good Morning, 60 Minutes, House Calls, TV3 News and Campbell Live and in 2009 regularly appeared on Sunrise. Highly qualified and holding degrees in the areas of PR, Financial Planning, Marketing and Management, Lisa is also a Certified Financial Planner who has a wealth of skills and utilizes not only her professional background but also her personal experience in working with clients.  

Lisa has developed and run a number of businesses in the financial sector and offers practical advice for clients based on extensive industry expertise and strategies she has personally used to successfully build her portfolio of investment in both shares and property. Actively working in the wealth industry for over 10 years and invested herself since she was 16, Lisa’s journey has led her to trying everything people say they want – a traveler’s life (having traveled in over 70 countries), corporate life, self-employment, committees and boards, leadership roles, media spokesperson, business ownership and more. Lisa’s background has given her a global perspective on what most people regard as challenges when achieving what they would love – financially, emotionally and business-wise. 

Lisa works with clients on a one-on-one basis, in workshops and in keynote presentations to achieve the greatest outcome possible: gaining clarity, direction, enjoyment, happiness, comfort and fulfillment. Eliciting and clarifying their essence and passion to define what they would love in life, Lisa works with people to transform that into a clear direction and set of goals before putting solid financial and business foundations in place to achieve those outcomes.

 “As people change, their perceptions of life also change,” Lisa explained, “Lifestyle is all about how people want to live their lives. So many people are trapped in their life and carry a desire to change their choices – but it’s really about finding what gives you a sense of freedom and makes the world complete for you. I work with people to build financial wealth for a meaningful reason, and help them to combine their passion with money.” 

Powerfully integrating the emotional-spiritual quotient of life with real financial and productive strategies, Lisa provides a competent and compassionate sounding board for her clients, enabling them to build a strong platform to help develop strong financial foundations and develop their desired lifestyle.
