As a lifelong Catholic, I was thrilled to find Lisa's coaching services. We set up a telephone session, which was very helpful during a difficult time in my life.  Lisa is prayerful, understanding, knowledgeable, and a great listener who provided me helpful feedback. I plan to schedule other sessions. - Cate D.

From time to time, someone crosses your path in a way that could only have been inspired by God.  For me, during my divorce, that person was Lisa Duffy.  Empathetic and kind, down-to-earth and practical, and always filled with faith in God and a strong hope for the future, Lisa helped me through my darkest days.   And for that, I will be forever grateful.  - Christine M.

Lisa ended up having a number of skills that could not be found anywhere else in my community. She had both a big picture perspective, but also gave me specific things to do on a daily basis to help me in my journey. One of the most valuable aspects in my coaching sessions with

Lisa was simply her healing presence. I felt she truly listened to what I was saying and understood the pain I was going through. 

I feel extremely fortunate to have found Lisa and recommend her coaching services to anyone going through the turmoil of divorce or marital

separation. - Nancy B.

As a mother and a reluctant party to a divorce, I knew I desired and needed the guidance of a strong Christian woman to help me rebuild a better life for my son and myself moving forward.  During our coaching sessions, Lisa listened to me with compassion and care as she helped me navigate and ponder my deepest spiritual questions.  We discussed and developed small goals as a part of my overall “Life Plan” to help me move forward.   As a wonderful woman, wife, and mother who is living proof of God’s mercy and love, Lisa gave me great hope for my future.  Through her living example, I trust I will find healing through the annulment process and draw closer to Jesus.  I highly recommend anyone affected by divorce to consider coaching with Lisa as I have benefited greatly!  - Alexis G.
