About Us
Lisa King
Smith
Lisa
has 3 daughters ages 14, 11 and 9. She
became acutely aware of the need for further research and education in spiritual
and mindful parenting after becoming a parent for the first time 14 years ago. After
graduating with her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from West Georgia
College in 1991 she
focused attention on mothering her 3 children, and volunteering in the
community while working part time. She re-entered graduate school at the University of West Georgia after a 12 year absence in
an effort to tailor a Master’s Degree in Psychology geared toward integrating Humanistic and Transpersonal
Psychology with spiritual and mindful parenting studies, and transpersonal and spiritual
development. Lisa is also interested in learning more about resilience in
children, the effects of father loss in female children, intuition, mind/body
and spiritual Psychology, along with a peripheral interest in Organizational
Development. Additionally, Lisa has a deep interest in holistic and alternative
healing. As a part of her studies Lisa is currently working with Tobin and Mary
Hart and other professors in the Psychology department at the University of West
Georgia. As a recent student, Lisa received the Alumni Fund for the Advancement of Human Sciences Research Award, worked
as a Graduate Research Assistant in the Health & Physical Education
Department and for a semester as a Teaching Assistant in the Psychology
Department for a course taught by Dr. William G. Roll. In addition, she was a
presenter for 2 consecutive years at the UWG Student Psychology Annual
Research Conference (SPARC) in 2005 & 2006, and was a Planning Committee
member and Volunteer Coordinator for the 2007 UWG Psychology Alumni Conference.
She received her Master of Arts in Psychology from the University of West Georgia
in May of 2007.
This
web site is an out growth of her studies in
Psychology as it applies to Spiritual and Mindful Parenting and is a work in
progress.
Lisa works from home as a Virtual
Assistant primarily working with membership associations, event planning and
management, and business support services and recently as a part time Parent Educator
for Morningstar Family Resources in Carrollton,
GA and is a homeschool parent.
She enjoys spending time with her family and in her spare time she
also likes getting together with friends, herb gardening, cooking, herbal and natural health
studies, being involved in her community, skating, biking, listening to a wide
variety of music, cooking, playing on the computer, reading, running her business
and watching independent films.
Lisa and her family currently reside in the West
Georgia area. She is originally from the South Fulton and Fayetteville, Georgia areas.
