Hi, I’m Lisa C. Qualls.

​

My husband, Russ, and I have been married for 42 years and are the parents of 12 children by birth and adoption. We have also had the privilege of being foster parents. 

​

In 2011, I became a TBRI® Practitioner and have lived and breathed connected parenting ever since. I’m honored to be the co-author, with the late Dr. Karyn Purvis, of

The Connected Parent, her final written work.

​

I’m also the co-author of Reclaim Compassion and Healing for Every Heart in Adoption, books written to help adoptive, foster, and kinship families find compassion, connection, and hope.

​

Through the Hope Circle for moms, Steadfast Dads for dads, and private coaching, I offer compassionate support for parents who are weary, discouraged, navigating blocked care, or simply longing for more hope in their parenting.

​

My coaching draws on TBRI®, blocked care education, spiritual direction, and four decades of parenting experience.

​

I help parents bring their whole hearts back to parenting.

 

TBRI® is a holistic, attachment-based, trauma-informed model that supports children and youth who have experienced adversity.
