Today we get to celebrate the woman behind Conspire Health: Lisa Kusch! It’s her birthday, which gives us a perfect excuse to brag about her a little 🎉
Lisa has spent more than 25 years following her curiosity, challenging convention, and creating care where she saw it was missing. Her career has taken her through facilitating mental health recovery, maternal care, psychotherapy, breathing sciences, and beyond. Through it all, at least one thing has stayed constant--she has never been afraid to push the boundaries of what good care can look like and build what doesn’t exist yet.
We would need a lot more space than a social media post to highlight all the epic moments in her career.
But what her professional bio doesn’t capture? Her natural way of putting people at ease, bringing lightness to heavy topics, the way she uses conventional tools in unconventional ways, or how she effortlessly creates warmth and safety for her clients, students, and colleagues alike, just by being who and how she is.
Lisa is the kind of person who acts on her big ideas and writes entire research papers on a whim, just for the fun of it--a total nerd for making the world a better place with breath science.
In keeping with her way of challenging convention, Lisa doesn’t like birthday cake. Pro tip: offer her a brownie or slice of pecan pie instead!
Happy birthday to our founder, Lisa Kusch…a clinician, educator, lifelong learner, relentless question-asker, and the heart behind Conspire Health.
