I’m Lisa Fraley,
Legal Coach® & Holistic Lawyer®
for coaches and entrepreneurs.
I work with people like you
– licensed medical practitioners, coaches, healers, and all kinds of online business owners –
who want to work with a lawyer who actually gets what you do.
Since 2012, I have helped thousands
of heart-centered biz owners get legally covered and exhale
with relief as they protect their biz and brand.
When you cover your buns with contracts, trademarks, entities (and more!),
you feel professional and confident – and you raise your biz vibe.
If you want to avoid copycats, curveballs, and “crazies” (as my mother would say),
taking the right legal steps helps you feel safe and secure
to share your deepest work with the world.
That’s what I mean when I say “get legally covered…so you can go bare.”
not your typical lawyer.
If you haven’t guessed yet from the blonde hair and bright dresses,
I’m definitely not your typical lawyer. I’ve been described as trailblazer, visionary, and alchemist
– and full of Legal Love.
An attorney for 20 years, I was honored to work for a large corporate law firm,
once specializing in Health Care and Bioethics.
But after a time, the corporate world didn’t suit me (or my adrenals!) very well,
and working long desk hours living on peanut M&Ms and Starbucks didn’t work anymore.
I became a Life Coach through CoachU (back in 2003) and then a Health Coach
through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in 2012
to get a grip on my sugar cravings.
I dove in as a Health Coach and worked with 1:1 clients, giving 72 corporate wellness seminars
in just over a year – and came out of my sugar lows as I cleaned up my diet.
But my Health Coach friends knew I was a lawyer and kept asking me about the law.
They said they were leery of corporate lawyers, even scared of the law, and kept coming to me
because I was a trained as a Health Coach too.
So with the gentle nudge of my private coach Carey Peters of HCI (formerly HMBA),
I combined my powerful legal experience with my caring coaching skills
and carved out a new niche as a Legal Coach® & Holistic Lawyer® (and even trademarked the name!)
you get the best of both worlds
– a lawyer with caring coaching skills
& who gets online entrepreneurs.
So before you contact your family lawyer for help, know this: Even the sharpest traditional lawyers typically aren’t familiar with the online biz world. It’s not their fault, after all. Most don’t become coaches or online entrepreneurs, so they don’t learn about opt-ins, Ontraport or online cleanses.
I totally get you, and the work that you do.
That’s why these rockstar entrepreneurs have me on speed-dial…
“Working with Lisa was such a breath of fresh air!”
Lisa made the process easy plus she’s fun to work with, efficient, and timely.
It was a whole different legal experience than we’re used to and it was a true pleasure!
Kate Northrup & Mike Watts
Best-selling Author & Founder of The Origin Company®
“In the best of all worlds, I’ll never know what kind of trouble and money Lisa has saved me. I’ll just know that I’m legally protected, and that frees me to do bolder, better work.”
There are so many lawyers out in the world. But how many know the particular ins and outs and potential pitfalls of being an online entrepreneur? Only one who actually IS an online entrepreneur. Enter Lisa.
Laura Belgray
Copywriting Expert & Owner of Talking Shrimp, Inc.
“Now that I have worked with Lisa, everything in my business is easier and more clear.”
I feel solid about every single policy we’ve created and protected – and we’ve created a lot! I love that Lisa understands online businesses and what is needed to be successful and protect a high multi-6 figure business.
Kendrick Shope

“Lisa understands the health coaching business.”
Thank goodness I found Lisa. Not only did she understand my special needs, she also understands the health coaching business. I highly recommend that you use Lisa for any of your legal needs.

Founder of The Health Coach Group
and what’s more?
NO FEAR-MONGERING HERE.
I am well-known for my holistic and loving approach to the law.
That’s why I call myself a Holistic Lawyer® too.
Aside from making the legal parts understandable, easy and fun,
I bring a softer side to the law without fear-mongering or a harsh CYA stance,
so you won’t find negative energy mucking up your biz.
i’ve been called 1 part lawyer, 1 part coach and 1 part woo – because I believe #thelawisspiritualtoo.
And oh! I ALIGN LEGAL STEPS WITH THE CHAKRAS.
That’s right: I align legal documents with the chakras, so you get support from your base
to your crown. (See, I told you I was spiritual too!)
Why? Because I believe legal contracts and documents are sacred containers to hold and support
your work, your relationships, your biz and your brand.
When you take legal steps, your soul benefits too.
On the practical side, legal steps can cover your buns, and energetically, they strengthen your boundaries to stop money leaks, stand in your power, and attract more of what you want.
(LOTS more.) That’s what I call the unexpected “spiritual side effect of the law.”™
it’s all about the “and”.
I used to think we had to be “either/or” in life or business.
But now I’m all about “the and” – as evidenced by the lighted ampersand marquee in my office.
I believe we can bring ALL of our gifts together in our work – both strong AND loving,
profitable AND charitable, professional AND personable.
I can be a “Mama Lion lawyer” but also draw on my skills as a “Heart-Centered Coach”
I can have a business that involves ALL parts of me – and, of course, my friend, so can you.
If you want to know more about my quirks and my skills, you’ll love these fun facts!
MORE about me that will shock (AND BENEFIT) the pants off of you: (Hello, Elle Woods combo!)
