Lisa is a Transitional Wellness Coach, Grief & Bereavement Mentor, and End-of-Life Companion who supports individuals and teams through the in-between spaces, the moments of pause after something has ended and before what comes next has fully formed.

About me

lisa
Lisa Ludwig-Mackenzie

I am passionate about holding space for “moments that matter”… the endings, the transitions, and those in-between spaces where transformation quietly unfolds. I call it the “PAUSE”.

Over the years, life’s twists, deep losses, unexpected shifts, and meaningful connections have shaped not only who I am, but how I support and guide others. One truth has stayed with me: every moment matters, no matter how big or small.

I am the Founder and Heart behind In the Moments Wellness, where I work as a Moment Mentor, Transitional Wellness Coach, Grief and Bereavement Mentor, and End-of-Life Companion. My practice blends presence, guidance, and practical tools to support individuals, families, communities, and organisations navigating grief, life transitions, burnout, and endings. Whether you are facing a personal loss, a professional shift, or simply seeking clarity and meaning in the now, I walk alongside you, helping you move through uncertainty with resilience, compassion, and heart.

My story

I am a Moment Mentor, guiding individuals, families, and organisations through life’s transitions with presence, compassion, and practical support. At the heart of my work is a simple belief: “Making moments matter, one moment at a time.” 

I draw on my personal experiences, professional background, and a lifetime of navigating change to support people in moving through grief, endings, burnout, and meaningful transitions.

My journey has been shaped by profound change, loss, and unexpected twists and experiences that have taught me the fragility, beauty, and resilience inherent in life’s transitions. From the early upheaval of my parents’ divorce, to the loss of loved ones, and caring for my life partner through a terminal illness, I have learned firsthand the importance of presence, preparation, and living fully in each moment, because that is all that is certain. These experiences inspired the creation of In the Moments Wellness, where I combine lived experience with professional expertise to walk alongside others during life’s tender and transformative moments.

Professionally, I bring a rich and varied background. I trained as a PGA Golf Professional, running a Golf Academy, coaching individuals and groups, mentoring young coaches, developing skills in leadership, guidance, and growth. Being present and walking with my life partners Cancer journey and passing drove me to expand my focus into Transitional and Corporate Wellness Coaching, Trauma Debriefing, Grief & Bereavement support, and became an End-of-life Doula offering companion care and support.  I have spent time designing and delivering programmes such as “Empathy Reset”, “Moments of Care”, resilience workshops, “Life Review” workshops, grief cafés, golf programmes, “Train-the-Trainer” sessions, and trauma debriefing courses, and was a speaker on the “Petchakucha” stage in 2025. 

As a Celebrant, I design and lead ceremonies that honour life’s milestones from Celebrations of Life, Living Wakes and Legacy Ceremonies, to workplace events such as retirements, organisational transitions, and team acknowledgments, helping create meaningful experiences that leave a lasting impact and a legacy to remember.

My work is guided by my heart and a simple principle: to provide guidance, tools, and presence for individuals and organisations in the moments that matter most. If you are facing a personal ending, a professional shift, or seeking clarity and meaning, I am here to walk alongside you, helping you traverse into a new beginning, a new you, and a space you can call home. 

Yours in Moments,

Lisa

Moments of Wellness

Transitional Wellness Coaching
AREAS OF FOCUS

Transitional Wellness Coaching

Times of transition, loss, and endings place unique pressure on our emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing.

Even when change is expected or chosen, it often brings uncertainty, identity shifts, and a quiet sense of grief that goes unrecognised.

Transitional Wellness Coaching focuses on the in-between moments after something has ended and before what comes next fully takes shape.

These moments are often rushed or overlooked, yet they are where stress accumulates, burnout begins, and clarity is lost.

How This Supports You

These sessions combine wellness coaching tools, reflective dialogue, and gentle structure to help you process where you are, identify what’s shifting, and take intentional next steps. The emphasis is on clarity, self-trust, and moving forward at a pace that feels right.

G.O.L.F by In the Moments Wellness is a solution-based wellness programme using the game of golf as a mirror to support clarity, emotional resilience, connection, leadership, and sustainable performance. 

This is a collaborative coaching and wellness programme that uses the game of golf as a practical framework for navigating change in life and business.

Delivered in partnership with golf coaches and academies, the programme blends professional golf instruction with Transitional Coaching from In the Moments Wellness. While golf develops physical skill and technique, transitional coaching supports how participants relate to challenge, pressure, progress, and change both on and off the course. 

Inspired by the flow of a golf course, each stage of the programme invites reflection on focus, decision-making, emotional regulation, resilience, and self-trust. Real moments in the game – the swing, the putt, the missed shot – become opportunities to explore goal-setting, recovery after setbacks, and moving forward with clarity and confidence.

No golf experience is required. Golf is the learning ground, not the goal.

How This Supports You

“Teeing Off” supports you through moments of change by combining the physical skill of golf with transitional coaching that helps you understand how you approach challenge, pressure, progress, and recovery. Real experiences on the course become practical opportunities to build focus, emotional balance, resilience, and self-trust that carry into life and business.

Whether through a short clinic or a longer programme, “Teeing Off” offers flexible pathways for individuals, groups, and teams. Each experience blends golf instruction, reflective coaching, and wellness tools to support clarity, steady decision-making, and forward movement through endings, transitions, and new beginnings one shot at a time.

What It Is

Trauma Debriefing offers a structured, supportive space to process challenging or distressing experiences whether sudden, cumulative, or transition-related.

Why It Matters

Unprocessed experiences can linger beneath the surface, impacting clarity, relationships, and overall wellbeing. 

Naming and acknowledging what has happened is a vital step toward recovery and integration.

How This Supports You

Using a grounded non-therapeutic and facilitated approach, I guide individuals, groups, and teams through reflection and meaning-making. The focus is on restoring balance, reducing emotional load, and supporting resilience without forcing disclosure or re-traumatisation.

Play-led and embodied wellbeing experiences designed to reconnect people with presence, expression, and self-awareness through gentle, experiential practices.

  • Beach intention and release sessions (ENQUIRE NOW)
  • “Moments Cafe” art and creative play workshops
  • Individual and group experiences (by appointment only)

Moments of Legacy

End of Life Doula & Legacy Support
AREAS OF FOCUS

What It Is

Individual, family, or group guidance and support for people navigating the end-of-life journey, from diagnosis through the final stages. 

Support includes emotional presence, practical guidance, and advocacy, helping individuals and their loved ones prepare for and navigate the physical, emotional, and relational aspects of dying. 

This can involve bedside companionship, facilitating conversations about wishes, supporting family communication, and providing reassurance and calm during difficult moments.

How It Supports

Offering steady, compassionate presence, helping clients navigate emotions, practical needs, and family dynamics. Supporting both the individual and their loved ones to face the journey with clarity, dignity, and peace, while creating space for connection, reflection, and meaningful moments together.

Guided individual, family or group sessions exploring life stories, values, and meaningful experiences. This includes the “My Life Legacy” workshops and workbook, designed to help individuals and families document memories, reflect on priorities, and create intentional legacies. Tangible outcomes can include written records, visual keepsakes, or shared family projects.

How It Supports You

Providing gentle guidance and structured reflection to explore life stories, values, important information and memories. Helping you preserve what matters most, strengthen family connections, and create intentional legacies that can be cherished by future generations. 

A Life Legacy File is your essential “everything-in-one-place” guide for your loved ones, offering peace of mind now and for those you care about later.

Moments of Care

Grief & Bereavement Support
AREAS OF FOCUS

What It Is

One-on-one support for those experiencing grief, bereavement, or complex loss. Sessions are paced, reflective, and responsive to where you are.

Why It Matters

Grief is personal and non-linear. Individual support allows space for your story, your emotions, and your timing, helping you feel less alone while finding ways to live alongside your loss.

How It Supports You

This support provides a safe, confidential space to explore feelings, and process difficult experiences, developing coping strategies tailored to your needs, and offering grounding exercises, reflection tools, and guidance to move gently through your grief or loss.

What It Is

Support for organisations navigating loss, bereavement, or collective grief, including facilitated conversations, grief-informed workshops, and guided reflection.

Why It Matters

Unacknowledged grief impacts well-being, communication, and productivity. Creating space for care within the workplace supports healthier teams, stronger connection, and compassionate leadership.

How It Supports You

Helps teams process loss together, improves communication, and fosters supportive work cultures. Provides practical strategies for managers and colleagues to support each other through transition and grief.

Memorable Moments

Celebrations & Crafted Events
AREAS OF FOCUS

I provide planning, officiation, and guidance to ensure these moments are filled with warmth and significance. This is a meaningful way to honour a life, whether after passing or while a loved one is still present to share in the love.

A Celebration of Life reflects the unique spirit, journey, and impact of a person with storytelling, music, symbolic rituals, and heartfelt tributes.

A Living Wake offers individuals the opportunity to be surrounded by those they cherish, sharing memories, gratitude, and love in a deeply personal way.

This is a space to honour and celebrate the memories of those who have gone before us. These gatherings may include storytelling circles, legacy projects, memory tables, and meaningful rituals to keep their presence alive in our hearts. It is a chance to share, connect, and find comfort in remembrance.

Personal Life Transitions

Here we celebrate retirement, significant birthdays, new beginnings, renewal of vows, or other major life changes marked with reflection, gratitude, and symbolic rituals.

Corporate Milestones

The celebration of company anniversaries, leadership transitions, team successes, and organisational achievements with customised ceremonies, recognition events, and meaningful storytelling.

Special Events & Gatherings

Unique celebrations designed to bring people together, whether it’s a farewell, a reunion, or a moment to pause and reflect.

A deeply meaningful way to honour a loved one through customised rituals that resonate with personal beliefs and traditions. Whether it’s a candle-lighting ceremony, a nature-inspired tribute, a memory release ritual, or something entirely unique, we help craft experiences that bring comfort, healing, and connection.

What It Is

Moments Café is a series of hosted connection sessions held in different venues, designed to create space to pause, reflect, and connect. Each gathering uses a gentle creative element such as painting objects, prompts, storytelling and simple fun activities, helping to open conversation and reflection around life, loss, identity, and meaning.

Sessions include themed cafés such as Rock in Your Pocket, The Ties That Bind, and Grief Café, each offering a different lens through which participants can explore their experiences in a safe, welcoming environment.

For organisations and teams, Moments Café offers a meaningful alternative to traditional team building supporting reflection, empathy, communication, and connection through shared experience, rather than performance or problem-solving.

  • Rock in Your Pocket: A reflective creative painting and connection session using a simple “Rock” to explore strength, resilience, and what helps us stay grounded through life’s challenges. Participants are invited to pause, reflect, and carry forward what supports them in difficult moments.
  • The Ties That Bind: A guided conversation exploring connection, relationships, and the bonds that shape our lives and relationships.. This session offers space to reflect on attachment, belonging, and how our relationships evolve through change and loss.
  • Grief Café: A gentle, open space to talk about grief in all its forms without judgement, fixing, or expectation. Through guided prompts and shared conversation, participants are invited to acknowledge loss, feel less alone, and be witnessed in their experience.

How It Supports You

For individuals, Moments Café offers a safe, welcoming space to slow down, reflect, and feel less alone through shared experience and conversation. It supports emotional expression, insight, and connection without pressure or expectation.

For teams and organisations, it creates space for meaningful connection, empathy, and open dialogue. By encouraging reflection and shared understanding, it supports healthier communication, strengthens relationships, and fosters a culture of care and presence within the workplace.
