Lisa Mandira was born and raised in the heart of nature, where trees, soil, and the sky became both her playground and her first teachers. Yet, her life’s journey has not been easy. Wounds and struggles once shaped her steps, but within them she found the strength not to give up, transforming her pain into a path of healing.

Today, Lisa stands as a Counselor, writer, and founder of Mandira’s Garden, a healing space that blends nature, creativity, and community. Through play- and story-based therapy, she guides children, youth, and adults to rediscover themselves, their purpose, and their hope.

For Lisa, nature is an endless source of goodness. And through her vision—healing through creativity and nature by turning pain into purpose—she continues to dedicate her life to creating spaces that heal, inspire, and awaken new meaning in the lives of others.
