About Lisa

Lisa Weinert, LMSW, RYT, is the founder of Narrative Healing™ and the author of Narrative Healing: Awaken the Power of Your Story (Hachette). She helps writers, caregivers, teachers, and seekers trust their voices, deepen their creative practice, and experience writing as a source of self-care, connection, and meaning.

A book coach, editor, yoga and mindfulness teacher, and licensed social worker, Lisa brings more than two decades of experience to an embodied, trauma-informed approach that supports both the person and the work. Her career has taken her from a decade in publishing with the Knopf/Doubleday Group at Penguin Random House to faculty positions at Wesleyan University, the Omega Institute, and Kripalu, and writing programs with The Authors Guild. She has supported hundreds of writers, from first-time authors to established voices.

Today, Lisa leads Narrative Healing™ workshops, retreats, and an international community where people gather to write, listen, and bear witness to one another’s stories. Her work is grounded in the understanding that stories live in our bodies, writing is a powerful form of self-care and community care, and the stories we share can become medicine for ourselves and the world around us.
