Dr. Lisa Semmler is a transpersonal psychotherapist, hypnotherapist spiritual counselor, end-of-life doula., and Holotropic Breathwork Facilitator. In all of these roles she views herself as a midwife to others in their journey toward wholeness. By her helping to create sanctuary and providing emotional support, others are able to experience and claim the power of their own inner healer who brings forth transformation and growth.
Lisa's interest in Holotropic Breathwork began in 1995 in response to a spiritual emergency that introduced her to the work of Dr. Stan Grof and his late-wife Christina. Her doctoral research project on the study of Spiritual Crisis and Transformation provided a theoretical understanding for her personal experience and has grounded both her personal growth and her work with clients for over 25 years. She was certified as a Holotropic Breathwork Facilitator in 2019.
Lisa has a doctorate in Psychotherapy and Pastoral Counseling through GTS/Northwestern University and a Heart Centered Hypnotherapist through the Wellness Institute in Seattle, Washington. She is also a certified End-of-life doula, coach and educator through the Conscious Dying Institute in Denver, Colorado. She was certified as a Holotropic Breathwork Facilitator through GTT in 2019.

The setting for this workshop is in our home retreat atop of a mountain, looking out onto the forests and farmland just 10 miles from the Asheville airport along with the Blue Ridge Mountain Range in Western North Carolina. It is a beautiful "sanctuary" to facilitate your journey into deeper states of consciousness and connecting with your "inner healer/wisdom." This workshop begins on Friday evening July 25th with dinner and an Orientation Talk from 6-9 pm. Orientation will cover the origins and practice of Holotropic Breathwork and is required for all participants who have not yet done a Holotropic Breathwork workshop with either of the facilitators. Two 3-hour Holotropic Breathwork™ sessions begin on Saturday morning at 8:30 (one as a breather/one as a sitter) with the option for additional Body Work at the breather’s request. Home-cooked dinner on Friday and lunch on Saturday, Mandala Drawing, and a Closing Integration Circle are also part of the experience.
