Hi there, I’m Lisa, the mama and content creator behind Crisp & Hazy. Together with my high school-sweetheart and the cutest little adventurer Noah, I live in the northern part of Belgium. I care deeply about the environment and love going on adventures, whether it’s a camping experience, a good hike, or other outdoor activities like skiing, taking a dip in the ocean, or exploring the beauty of the forest.

I can proudly call myself a Doctor of Biomedical Sciences, with expertise in movement and neuroscience. Yet, it was the birth of my son, the welcoming of a beautiful new soul into the world, which taught me more in life than any academic degree ever could. This turning point compelled me to seek the truth within myself. I needed to feel again, rather than think.

As part of my personal journey, I delved into a 200-hour Yoga teacher training, to master the art of being present in my body. Through this experience, I gained a profound understanding of the intricate connection between the body and mind. It led me to recognize the missing link between body and mind that I had observed during my university studies. This realization acted as a catalyst, inspiring me to explore diverse courses and literature on trauma, parent-child connection, and the interplay between the body and mind. A significant milestone in this journey was my professional training with Dr. Gabor Maté, a world-renowned expert in trauma and child development. His groundbreaking work provided the foundation for my therapeutic approach, shaping how I guide parents in building authentic, nurturing relationships with their children.

This path of personal growth and professional exploration led me to my work today as a therapist specializing in mother-child connection. I help parents nurture authentic relationships with their children while fostering self-awareness and healing. Drawing on my background in neuroscience, trauma-informed approaches, and embodied practices, I guide mothers to rediscover their inner strength and create a bond with their child that is uniquely their own.

And this is exactly what Crisp & Hazy stands for: a journey to re-wild, cherish the little things, and reconnect with my center, my child, and the people around me. It’s about listening to that inner voice and rediscovering our natural instincts that we are all born with. It’s also about embracing conscious choices—whether that’s in the way we care for our planet, nurture our relationships, or embark on adventures with our children.

The journey you shape with your child is uniquely yours, and the bond you nurture together is something only you can bring to life. Whether you’re solo in parenthood, have a partner with different interests, or simply don’t share the same time or vision, know that the adventures you envision with your child are there for you to create—in whatever way feels right for you.

Crisp & Hazy is here to inspire you to take those steps, cherish the small moments, and build a connection with your child and the world that feels true to your heart.
