For The Public (Group or Individual Training)
I help people who want to learn to meditate, or think they “suck” at it, or “tried and can’t” meditate, actually learn how!
Join me to experience more joy, less stress and anxiety, and to connect with the deep peace that is already inside of you.
If you tried to meditate and couldn’t stop your thoughts welcome to the human race!
The good news is yes, you can meditate and no, you don’t have to stop your thoughts to do it.
Trust me it’s not about thought-stopping, and if I can do it you can too.
I teach meditation because it changed my life in the most surprising way: it greatly increased my joy and happiness.
And I am also amazed at how much it increased my ability to focus, and let go of anxiety and stress.
Remember why you love life and stress less so you can actually enjoy it! Learn to meditate!

Here's What People Are Saying About The Program
"I realized I was stronger than I had believed…"
These meetings have helped me face the new obstacles we all face each day. I realized I was stronger than I had believed, and I found I was ready for the next phase my life had to offer.
My life is different today thanks to Lisa. I take the time to smell the roses and oh how beautiful they are too.
-Mary R.
"It's a gift to give yourself…"
I recommend The Mindfulness group as a wonderful learning and growing experience. It came to me just months prior to the Covid shut down and helped me control the natural anxiety I was experiencing from the lockdown and fear of the unknown.
Learning simple and focused tools has helped me immensely.
Meditation and mindful activities are fun and relaxing. It is a gift to give yourself.
I recommend this for anyone looking to improve their overall wellbeing and their sense of control in an uncontrollable world!

Coaching for Writers
Hey, Fellow Writers With A Manuscript, Join Me!
I help new writers dig deep into their completed fiction or memoir manuscript to fully develop and clearly express the emotional truth of their characters or themselves.
It’s truly impressive that you created your manuscript. Congratulations to you! Now it’s time to get it read by others.
You know yourself and your characters intimately. It can be difficult or impossible to get enough distance to know if what you and they are experiencing internally is coming across to the reader.
Coaches are skilled in asking clients questions to help understand exactly what they are feeling and grappling with internally.
I treat you or your characters like clients. I listen non-judgmentally and ask clarifying questions.
I help you (memoir) or “them” (fiction), through your edits, fully express their truth.
Here's what one writer said about the experience:
Working with Lisa helped me see my main character fully and get to the depths of her emotions as well as her relationships with the other characters in the story.
Lisa’s questions guided me to better understand the impact of past experiences on my leading characters, and to see, even in fiction, how to create a realistic path forward for each of them.
Getting in touch with my characters’ true feelings, sometimes by exploring my own, made my story richer, more relatable and engaging. I could not have discovered all of this on my own.
-Anne, prepublished YA writer
Initial 20 minute consultation: free
Review of your manuscript, and provision of minimum 3 pages of general feedback about the clarity of the emotional message overall: $499 to $750 depending on length.
If I feel I can help you and you are interested in going forward from there, a proposal follows that will outline the scope of the work and fees.
Coaching vs. Therapy
Coaching and teaching and consulting do not involve diagnosing or treating mental health conditions. That is the sole purview of licensed therapists and psychiatrists who you hire specifically for that purpose.
If you take my course or hire me as your coach, I will not be providing medical or mental health care services to you. If you need mental health services or you are not sure, please contact me at (631) 903-4177 so we can figure out what is best for you.
Coaching and teaching are never mental health therapy, even, when done by a therapist.
All that being said, therapy and coaching and writing do have something in common: all involve helping people find and express their unique truth. This is what I do. This is my life’s work.
Coaching, courses and consulting services are offered by Lisa DeLuca Consulting, LLC. As your coach or consultant I will not be providing health or mental healthcare services, or diagnosis or treatment of mental illness.
