Lisa Avnet

Through her full-spectrum healing work, she compassionately assists guests with stress, chronic pain, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, and feelings of being stuck or blocked.

“I view energy healing as a journey to reawaken the light within,” Lisa shares. “It’s about creating a safe, loving space where guests can explore their inner experience, learn about energy, release what no longer serves them, and step into a more vibrant, authentic version of themselves.” Her uniquely integrative approach energetically addresses physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual issues to bring deeper peace, clarity, and vitality.

Before joining Canyon Ranch, Lisa spent over 25 years in private practice in Northwest CT and Manhattan, specializing in alleviating chronic musculo-skeletal pain. She is a graduate of the intensive four-year training program at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, the gold standard for energy healing training worldwide. Lisa holds certifications in hypnosis and medical support hypnotherapy, health coaching, soul-centered coaching psychology, shamanism, FocusingTM, Embodied Experiential Dreamwork, and Reiki. Lisa is also a licensed massage therapist with certifications in Eastern structural energy modalities including Zero Balancing, Jin Shin Do, and Hoshino Therapy.

Beyond the Ranch, Lisa enjoys simple, soulful practices—tending her award-winning garden, cooking, hiking in nature, and creating art, songs, and stories. She loves to laugh, and recently challenged her comfort zone by taking Improv classes at a local theater that ended with an exhilarating live performance. “I am deeply inspired by the resilience and transformation I witness in our guests,” Lisa reflects. “It’s a privilege to help them reconnect with the beauty of who they truly are.”
