Lisa A. DiMaria

A nursing career that began in the navy taught me how the right person at the right time can show us what we are truly capable of. As a nurse, I am committed to preserving health. As an educator, I value knowledge. Yet, knowledge alone doesn’t lead to change—support, empathy, deep listening, willingness, and a lot of heart are required.

I have a keen awareness of how stress directly impacts the body and the decisions we make about health. I care deeply about the health of caregivers—those who serve in the healthcare arena or who provide care in everyday life. Each person has their own unique definition of stress. My mission is to find out what that definition is for each client and support them to bring their own health back into focus.

What helps me best serve you:

• PhD in Nursing, University of Rhode Island

• Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction Teacher, Level 1, Brown School of Professional Studies

• Advanced Holistic Nurse, Board Certified, American Holistic Nurses Association

• Health and Wellness Nurse Coach, Board Certified, International Nurse Coach Association

As a health and well-being coach, my gentle yet direct approach helps people who are experiencing caregiver stress symptoms begin to feel like themselves again.

My sources of peace and joy? Living an authentic life that is rich with family and friends, energy and movement, learning and growing, presence and connection. I am happiest when I am in nature hiking with my dog or walking on the beach with my family or a dear friend.
