Lisa C. Greene, MA CFLE

Helping parents learn simple, effective parenting skills is a passion Lisa Greene discovered after she became a mom and realized how much help she needed. It's not easy being a parent, especially of a child with special needs.

When Lisa's first child was born unexpectedly with cystic fibrosis, she left her fifteen year career in mortgage banking to focus on taking care of him. Needing information about both special needs and general parenting challenges, she started digging in to the many different parenting resources and experienced "information overload." There is so much conflicting information out there!

Then, Lisa discovered Love and Logic and life changed for the whole family. As her knowledge of Love and Logic grew, she started teaching it to friends and family. And now, as an independent Love and Logic facilitator since 2002 and public speaker, teaches the tools to thousands of families each year.

In 2004, Lisa asked the founders of Love and Logic to create new resources to help her with the unique challenges she was facing with her special needs children. "Parenting Children with Health Issues" was born and Lisa has been working with Foster Cline, MD on this important program ever since.

As the co-author of an award-winning book with Dr. Cline, Lisa is honored to join the ranks of a very small number of authors who are published by Love and Logic. She travels around the country presenting to hospitals and non-profit organizations.

Lisa enjoys working with families so much that she decided to get additional training as a parent coach. In 2007, she completed a parent coaching certification program with a focus on Special Needs. She has also completed the Love and Logic facilitator training program taught by Jim Fay, Foster Cline, MD and Charles Fay, PhD. For formal education, Lisa earned a Bachelor's degree in Organizational Management and Marketing from Central Washington University and in 2013 completed her Master's degree in Family Life Education and also met the requirements to became a certified family life educator.

Lisa's "kids" are now young adults and are doing very well. One is in medical school and the other working at a pharma company doing cancer research. As an empty-nester, Lisa now is busy traveling, doing workshops, and developing new programs for families. She lives near Seattle, WA. For fun, she loves the outdoors, photography, writing, travel and spending time with family and friends.
