Hi. I'm Lisa
Lisa McNett is a mystic, somatic guide, and breathwork trainer who bridges the worlds of trauma, transformation, and transcendence.
Her awakening began in a cave on Mount Arunachala, India—where she experienced a spontaneous, life-altering spiritual initiation in the energy of Sri Ramana Maharshi. That moment marked her soul's remembrance.
But her path didn’t lead her to bypass the human.
It brought her deeper into it.
Lisa grew up in a volatile environment—marked by abuse, poverty, and chronic illness. Like many sensitive souls, she learned to disconnect in order to survive. For years, she believed suffering was something only certain people carried. But her path revealed the truth: pain doesn’t discriminate, and healing is possible when we are supported to turn inward and reconnect.
Her healing journey took her from personal survival to global service. She has worked in trauma and addiction recovery, supported veterans, volunteered in women’s prisons, and held space for countless others in deep transformation. Along the way, she immersed herself in the study of yoga, breathwork, somatic therapy, trauma healing, subtle energy work, and the spiritual wisdom of diverse cultures.
In 2021, Lisa co-founded One Breath Institute with Deborah Dickey and developed Introspective Breathwork® Therapy, a client-led, trauma-informed modality that helps people gently release what no longer serves and reconnect with their truth.
But her true spiritual turning point began in India.
In 2007, Lisa went to India to immerse herself in the ancient studies of yoga and Ayurveda, spending three months in deep study and self-inquiry. One day, she entered a cave once inhabited by the great sage Ramana Maharshi. In stillness, she dropped into a profound meditative state—disappearing from time and space, only to return hours later with a radical sense of oneness, soul remembrance, and clarity.
It wasn't just a kundalini awakening. It was a sacred return.
That moment changed everything. And it came with a promise:
To listen. To show up. And to walk with others as they remember who they truly are.
Lisa's work now integrates the mystic and the clinical, the intuitive and the embodied. She teaches and guides from a place of deep inner alignment, weaving presence, consent, and nervous system intelligence into everything she offers.
Whether in private sessions, group containers, or her spiritual community Luminous Mystic, Lisa holds space for deep recalibration—where somatics meets soul and healing becomes a homecoming.
Her work is not about fixing. It’s about remembering.
My Training and Experience
My work is rooted in both lived experience and years of dedicated study.
I’m a licensed massage therapist, certified yoga instructor, life coach, and breathwork therapist with advanced training in Craniosacral Therapy. I’ve studied Interpersonal Neurobiology with Dr. Dan Siegel and Collective Trauma with Thomas Hübl, and I continue to explore the intersection of science, spirit, and somatics.
My work is also shaped by a lifelong devotion to the sacred—through direct experience and deep study across global spiritual traditions. I’ve studied and practiced yoga and Vedanta in India (and beyond), sat with Buddhist teachers from the Kuan Um school and the lineage of Thich Nhat Hanh, explored the mystical teachings of Judaism and Kabbalah, walked the devotional path of Bhakti Yoga, and cultivated a personal relationship with Christ through profound meditative encounters. These lineages live within me not as dogma, but as living wisdom—woven through the breath, body, and presence I bring to every space I hold.
