Imaginal Arts Integrative Wellness

Are you ready to remember?

They say that if you were to peek inside the cocoon of a giant silk moth in the earliest stages of metamorphosis, you’d be greeted with caterpillar soup— a thick, messy ooze that the caterpillar’s body has literally dissolved into. This stew of sorts contains highly organized groups of cells called “imaginal discs” that hold the vision of what’s to come: legs, antennae, wings. I love the word imaginal. It gives the process of change a certain richness and sense of sovereignty, as we give ourselves permission to remember who we are underneath all that has tamed us so that we can evolve into our healthiest, wildest, and most inquisitive selves.

My Calling...

I am Lisa Rough, an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, artist, writer, and mother living in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Along with having years of experience as a mental health counselor, massage therapist, yoga instructor, creativity coach and women's circle facilitator, I have navigated my own long and arduous journey with chronic and mystery illness. My personal story helps me bring a greater understanding to the table as a coach, and a profound passion for guiding others toward cultivating resilience, curiosity, and grit as they make their way home to their bodies.

~ you are enough. right now. in this very moment.

~ your body is a sacred vessel for this slice of time we call life, and it was born with an intrinsic ability to heal itself.

~ the numbers on the scale and the tags on your clothes do not define your worth.

~ health is available to you even in the presence of fear, loss, and uncertainty.

~ we are all beautifully imperfect works-in-progress, always changing and wired for exploring the inner and outer landscapes of who we are.

~ a woman at peace with her body is a force of nature.
