LISA Smith CRAWFORD
I grew up at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It was here in the shadow and protection of these old, sturdy hills that I was free to roam, to think, and to explore.
And it was here that I had a mystical experience that proved to me that we are more than mind and body – we are spiritual beings too. This experience gave me a glimpse into the unseen, the immeasurable love that surrounds us, and the light that can defeat the darkness. However, this experience did not exempt me from difficult situations in my life.
After years as an educator and writer, I wanted to know more about the connections between the mind, body and spirit, so I studied energy healing, mindfulness and contemplative prayer where I learned to embrace my intuitive gifts. I began to lead workshops and retreats, helping others to find the Divine within. Three years ago, I joined the faculty of the Ruah Spiritual Direction Program at Richmond Hill where I support others in their spiritual journey towards becoming a Spiritual Companion.
I am honored to provide for you a sacred space to help you pull the pieces back together and to ultimately live the life you are meant to live.

““Lisa has the ability to see into the hearts of people, hear their wants and needs, and give her self to their betterment. She is a listener, and listens deeply. She combines her deep listening with a faith that transcends what we learned in our catechisms as children. Her automatic response to any thought or action is, “How does this connect to the Divine?”””
