HI, I'M LISA COOPER
A practitioner of sound bath healing and mindfulness meditation. I am passionate about bringing my clients into a state of relaxation, calm, and alignment.
MY PERSONAL JOURNEY
It was 2019. One day, as I strolled down the street in New York City, I passed the Ohm Center and saw a sign in front that said “Sound Meditation.” During my recovery, I had been practicing prayer and meditation as part of Step Eleven in Alcoholics Anonymous. And I admit I wasn’t especially enamored with meditative practices. My mind likes to wander, and I have a hard time staying focused on the here and now – especially when I’m trying to do so intentionally. But I felt the instant pull of a higher power, as if the universe was sending me a message to give a sound bath a try.
The feelings I experienced during that first session were powerful, and I left with a sense of calm that stayed with me as I traveled the noisy streets and returned to my apartment. It was truly life-changing, and the Center became my sanctuary. The more sessions I went to, the longer the feelings of being relaxed, focused, and aligned stayed with me. Sound healing helped me handle stress better, sleep better, and be more productive.
I made the decision to learn more about sound baths and other healing modalities in order to help others transform their own lives. The second “pull” of a higher power came when I got home from completing a 7-day silent retreat that was required for the mindfulness training program I was taking. I picked up a copy of a local magazine and saw an article about Susy Markoe Schieffelin, the Los Angeles-based founder of the Sound Healer’s Academy. Susy experienced an incredible transformation after years of suffering from anxiety, alcoholism, and addiction, and sound baths were an integral part of her journey. Originally from my home town of Greenwich, CT, she was returning for the christening of her son. I reached out, went to a live sound bath she was facilitating, and decided to enroll in the intensive training she offered.

A BREADTH OF KNOWLEDGE THAT BENEFITS CLIENTS
SOUND BATH HEALING
My deeply restorative in-person and virtual sound baths are designed to help reduce anxiety and stress, relieve pain, and support clients in manifesting positive change. I lead group and private sessions, corporate events, retreats, and more.
MINDFULNESS MEDITATION
Staying present when we respond to daily stresses is essential to maintaining optimal health and wellness. Practicing mindfulness meditation helps us become aware of our thoughts and keeps us grounded and focused on what matters most in our lives.
BREATHWORK
Techniques that intentionally focus on and channel the breath can release stress and toxins, calm the mind, and bring overall balance to our physical bodies. Incorporating breathwork can enhance the benefits of sound baths and mindfulness mediation.
HEALTH COACHING
As a certified health coach, I look at wellness from a “big picture” perspective – addressing aspects ranging from nutrition, exercise, and sleep to relationships, work, and finances to guide clients in setting and achieving goals for a healthy, well-balanced life.
RECOVERY COACHING
I offer strengths-based support for people in recovery from alcohol, drugs, codependency, or other addictive behaviors – empowering them to avoid relapse, build community, and improve their lives.
REIKI
Reiki complements many other healing practices, delivering a gentle flow of energy to your body to promote relaxation, reduce stress and anxiety, and improve the overall balance of health and well-being.
