Lisa was born in Niagara Falls, Canada in 1955. She attended the University of Calgary where she received her Undergraduate degree in Psychology and her Graduate degree in Counselling Psychology. She is a Chartered Psychologist. Her professional career has included support for autistic children and their families and five years working at a residential treatment Centre, Woods Homes, with behaviorally and emotionally challenged teenagers and their families. In the late 80’s, she accepted a position as a tenured faculty member with Mount Royal College, providing support in the Counselling Department and teaching Psychology courses in the Behavioral Sciences Department. Nine years ago, Lisa chose to leave her academic position to strengthen her parental support for her teenage son and launched Relationship Counselling to support individuals and couples hungry for more intimate relationships with themselves and others. The practice uses a unique emotional-body centered approach to relationship, based upon the work of Douglas & Naomi Moseley. On a more personal note, Lisa has been married to Ken Little for 28 years. Most of these years were spent living in a brother-sister type of relationship and there was little emotional and sexual intimacy between them. Years of withholding from one another contributed to the deadening of the relationship and the Littles were close to separating. Recognizing their own need for a change, Lisa and Ken have been doing their personal and relational work together for the past eleven years and, having experienced the richness of doing a deeper type of work, joined a small group of dedicated students in the Moseley five year apprenticeship program. In addition to doing their own personal growth work during the program, they have been offering their support as group faciliators at the Moseleys' Intimacy Training retreats in Taos, New Mexico and providing help to other like-minded seekers through individual and group phone and 'live' sessions.
Ken and Lisa are also seeing couples together in the evenings and week-ends and offering week-end 'Intimacy Workshops' at their Calgary home. Having worked through so many difficulties of their own has given them a deeper compassion and understanding of relationship issues which provides a solid foundation to help others sort through their challenges.
For people who do not live in Calgary, Lisa and Ken offer phone sessions and e-mail support. |
