Lisa Gilbert MD

Lisa Gilbert, MD has long been fascinated by extraordinary experiences—her own and those shared by others. As a board-certified psychiatrist with decades of clinical practice, she cultivated a gift for working with trauma survivors, many of whom described profound nonordinary states of consciousness. By honoring these stories and embracing deep psychospiritual inquiry, Lisa helped clients move beyond symptom relief toward lasting wholeness.

Her personal healing journey through Holotropic Breathwork® (HB) involved trauma recovery, expanded states of awareness, and encounters with shamanic and transpersonal phenomena. During this process, she trained directly with Stanislav Grof, MD, the creator of Holotropic Breathwork® and a pioneer in transpersonal psychology and psychedelic research. Lisa later became certified in both Holotropic Breathwork® and Dreamshadow® Transpersonal Breathwork.

Though now retired from psychiatric practice, she remains deeply committed to supporting others—and humanity’s collective movement toward integration and healing. Soul Can You is her first book: a shamanic offering rooted in lived experience, sacred transformation, and the mystery of the soul’s unfolding.

Lisa now resides in New England, where she devotes her time to process painting, spiritual mentorship, and creative expression.
