Lisa Berkovitz believes every day should feel a little bit like magic.
And no wonder, because she is a little bit magical herself. Lisa is a soul alignment coach, which means she is committed to helping others change the way the world works — at the highest level and according to what’s written in the “architecture” of their soul.
Pretty cool, huh.
“I am a big believer that when you are on your soul’s path, things will happen that will support you,” Lisa said.
Lisa specializes in coaching people who straddle two worlds. On one hand, her clients are heavily devoted to their spirituality, but they have also accomplished high levels of achievement in the physical world and sometimes feel a level of separation. Lisa is the missing piece.
Through her coaching, Lisa not only helps her clients navigate between these worlds, but encourages them to integrate both into one. As a certified coach, master-level neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) practitioner and Reiki master, Lisa has helped some of the world’s most accomplished change-makers draw out their inspired work in order to have a greater impact on the world.
“When you start to enter the realm of the soul and the soul’s mission, the mind needs to be relinquished to a certain degree as the controller,” she said. “That’s my speciality, that letting go — the surrender to what is calling you.”
But, it wasn’t always this way.
Like many great things, Lisa’s business was created out of a need for the person who created it.
With an MBA and several years of high-level project management experience for Fortune 100 and 500 companies, including the World Economic Forum conference in Davos, Lisa was on the fast track to executive leadership at a young age — but she felt like something was missing.
It wasn’t until her heart was shattered that her world cracked wide open.
Lisa had dabbled in personal development and knew enough to know that things are not often what they seem. So, after her heart got broken, she went searching for answers. On a whim, she booked a flight to the Costa Rican rainforest to attend a Self-Mastery retreat. It was there she felt the first inklings of her true calling.
“I got this vision… This clear knowing,” Lisa said. “I didn’t know exactly what it meant but I knew I was supposed to quit my job.”
So she did.
Less than two months later Lisa had handed in her resignation, packed her bags and embarked on a wild adventure around the world. Her plan to take six months quickly turned into several years and an extensive journey.
“I did all the things I wanted to do. I was really feeding my soul,” said Lisa. “I travelled, I read, I trained in neuro linguistic programming and reiki, I started making jewelry. All of my creativity started to flow again.”
She fell in love with doing what she loved, but she was doing it all on her own dime.
“So my quest became, how do I get paid to do what I love?” said Lisa. “It was the burning question.”
Little did she know, this question would play a big part in her business to come.
Following her return, Lisa took a position as an on-staff business coach at an internet incubator. In the years following, she freelanced as a coach for corporate companies, assisting in sales training and the development of products, programs and projects. Travel and personal growth always intermingled, but this experience allowed her to learn more about the relationship between our society and the economy.
During this time, Lisa remained fiercely devoted to her spirituality. Along with her professional accomplishments, she realized she was an energetically intuitive healer and Soul Guide. She knew she was more than just a “business coach” and wondered how to integrate and express both of these aspects of herself.
“We all have soul gifts — natural abilities — and we are meant to thrive,” she smiled.
In 2010, Lisa started working with conscious, early-stage entrepreneurs, helping them turn their inspired ideas into something tangible. It quickly evolved from early-stage to more established, advanced entrepreneurs, and then the executives started to follow.
“The integration of spirituality and business… The relationship between work and money… It’s meant to be fun and easy and abundant,” said Lisa. “One of the most debilitating beliefs on the planet is that you can’t get paid to do what you love.”
Practicing what she preaches, Lisa designed her business so that she could operate from anywhere, which she has taken full advantage of — living for some time in Bali, Mexico, Spain and California, to name a few.
“Innate in my soul I think is travel. It is very much a part of my soul signature and always will be,” she said. Lisa explains travel as when she feels her soul the most.
“Or it used to be,” she added. “Now I feel my soul all the time.”
Unsurprisingly, Lisa has been nomadic twice in her life. The first from 2013-2016 and the second, June 2019 to March 2020. Lisa came home after the first three years in need of rest and to spend some time with family, and ended up staying in Toronto for longer than planned. But her soul was calling, so once again she sold her stuff and prepared for life on the road.
Prior to leaving the second time, Lisa made a brief stop in Collingwood. She had met Jenn Walker at a networking event several years prior, and Jenn invited her to stay at her house while she was out of town. Lisa fell in love.
Flash forward to March of 2020. Lisa happened to be visiting family between trips when the pandemic hit. So she got an apartment in Toronto and settled in for the long haul, but the universe had other plans. A noise issue in her condo drove her to consider moving to Costa Rica, but, hesitant to leave the country, she fondly remembered her summer in Collingwood.
A quick message to Jenn, and less than 24 hours later she had some leads on an apartment.
Lisa arrived in Collingwood in January and started working out of the Foundry the next day. She quickly became reacquainted with the area and consumed by its beauty — even in the dead of winter.
“It’s such a warm and wonderful place. I am always discovering new businesses around town,” she said. “Little wonderful treasures.”
“I hope I never lose that sense of wonder and awe,” she added. “It’s sort of like living in the magic. That’s what I love most… just bringing more freedom, more faith, more fun and more aliveness.”
Lisa has no plans to move anywhere just yet, but she does have big plans for her business.
But she knows time will tell. And so will her soul.
