Lisa Pulliam
Founder of Stableminded
Ready to stabilize and thrive?
I know firsthand how challenging life can be both on the personal and professional front. I get it that our culture urges us towards independence and self-sufficiency, so asking for help, support, and guidance is an uncomfortable step for just about all of us. That's why I'm here to make that step towards transformation and growth feel safe.
Using a trauma-informed approach to explore what has shaped your life, I will help you identify what is not working while considering your priorities, values, and decisions. In strategizing solutions, I guide you to tap into your natural wiring so that your strengths and resiliency can become your superpower.
It is time for you to stabilize, in as short a time as possible, so you can thrive in the life you were made for!
Wondering what is the best next step for you? Let's chat about that and find out!
Meet Lisa Pulliam, Your Guide
They say that those in the mental health field often enter into it because of what they've gone through. Yes, that describes me, emerging from a legacy of abuse and dysfunction to be an active participant in writing a new legacy for my life and my family. Through the support of great mentors, coaches, therapists, my husband, dear friends, my faith in God, and my time with horses, I've been able to experience breakthroughs in every season of my life. Yes, it takes a village! And yet, I do not come to you as a finished work!
There are so many areas of my life in which I am actively committing to grow through what I'm going through. We're all works in progress!
My entry into the helping field began first as a mentor to teenage girls, both as a youth leader and in my time living at the boarding school my husband worked at for 18 years. That role inspired the decision to become trained as a life coach through Life Breakthrough Academy, which was later followed by becoming Highlands Ability Battery Consultant. For more than a decade, I helped women experience transformation through providing biblically-based coaching through my ministry, More to Be. In 2018, I embarked on a dream to integrate horses into my work and became certified with the Natural LIfemanship Institute. In turn, that inspired the decision to pursue a Master's in Clinical Counseling and simultaneously train in EMDR.
I consider it a privilege to be a trauma-informed coach, consultant, and educator, helping others determine their best next steps toward stabilizing and thriving personally and professionally.
When I'm not at the stables loving on Kodiak Jack, my 2010 Off-the-Track Thoroughbred I rescued in July of 2022, I can be found savoring time with my husband of 28 years, all-grown-up children and son-in-laws, and being entertained by my "wild-child" of a Golden Retriever, Beckley May.

Lisa McCartney, Therapist
Lisa gave me an invaluable experience working with her and Teddy. It was so special…the exposure and connection to a horse helped me to overcome some of my fear of horses and also made me aware of the times when fear shows up in my relationships and how I can navigate that in a healthier way.
Mary Taylor, Personal Vision Coaching & Restorative Retreat Client
This experience is the beginning of becoming the person I want to be. The work we did with and without the horses gave me such insights into decisions I need/ want to make and a clearer sense of being. Lisa was able to identify and show me how I was being present. She guided me through activities that helped me identify past and present behaviors that have prevented me from making decisions. The stables are located in one of the most beautiful areas and just being there invites a sense of calm. I can’t say enough about this experience, for me, it’s the start of becoming a better me.
Margie Keith
I'd been wandering, without a real sense of purpose or direction since I graduated high school. There were so many things I wanted to do with my life that I couldn't figure out how to settle on one thing. Through coaching sessions and the Highlands Battery Assessment, Lisa facilitated the process of identifying my goals, resulting in moving to Colorado and living the life I longed for.
Alida Barnes
It is not an overstatement to say that working with Lisa has changed my life! Lisa has a gentle, loving way of approaching our time together that challenges me and gives me actionable steps to move forward. She is not afraid to step into the hard places with me. I have learned to be vulnerable and insightful through coaching.
Rachel Thomas Steadman, Bridge of Hope, Chester County
You were clear and helpful to all of us. I was especially thinking how useful the information on managing stress was to parents, in how they respond to children who are causing them stress. You were amazing and I thank you!
