2026 and beyond

​

Welcome to this introductory website where you'll find a very brief overview of my history and scope of work since 2010.

 

After 22 years of working extensively in the performing arts both in Australia and internationally, I settled on the Gold Coast in 2005. In my 40th year my husband and I were blessed with the birth of our daughter. 

 

During this period my curiosity and desire for personal and professional growth drove me to explore other interests within the domain of human services. I trained as a telephone counsellor with Lifeline, Broadbeach and as a marriage and funeral celebrant. 

What started as a side hustle and some pocket money quickly and unexpectedly became a full-time business. Over the last 15 years I evolved and diversified far beyond the original scope of Lisa Grosskopf Celebrant. I am now taking a break during 2026 and completing further study.

 

I won't be conducting ceremonies (except for honouring any prior arrangements), nor offering official on-going pastoral care. Any guest speaking or educational roles around grief and loss won't be offered again until 2027 including facilitating events in the disability/aged care sectors.  

​

I reflect on all the various experiences with immense gratitude. I'll be forever thankful to all my clients who've taught me many lessons and to my close family, friends and mentors who've supported me continuously.

 

I feel very blessed to have witnessed so many important milestones in people's lives including over 1000 ceremonies. Working in a broad variety of ways with individuals, couples, families and groups has been both meaningful and humbling. It's been my true privilege to walk alongside each of you.

 

Life is both beautiful and messy and I carry both the joyful and poignant memories with me always. THANK YOU!

You'll currently find an eclectic range of posts at www.facebook.com/LisaGrosskopfConsultant on topics that interest me or may assist others during this period. Feel free to send me a message or call me if you need my assistance in any way. 

 

So until we meet in person, make the most of the moments you have and don't hesitate to reach out.
