Lisa Sullivan
Hi! I'm Lisa, the founder of Camp Atta Girl! I’m so excited about our camp in the Berkshires! I’m a mom, wife, recovering marketing exec, author, speaker... but mostly I'm a woman who wants to help other women find their voice, power, light and joy! I want to help you play big, embrace your true self, have fun in life and do whatever it is you are being called to do!
I do this through a combination of science and "woo-woo" — combining the science of happiness with wild and wonderful yoga dance movements through the chakras.
Why me? I've been there... I'm still there, traveling this road with you.
I was a corporate marketing exec. But suddenly, I was laid off and panic set in as I was the sole support for our family.
During that panic, I decided to do something totally out of my comfort zone and become trained in Let Your Yoga Dance. I realized that I was playing small and hiding. I had always been waiting for that "perfect" time when I was "thin" to play big. I cared more about what others thought than what was right for me. But, I discovered the true way to my happiness was for me to be me.
I continue to meet women who are going through the same "stuff" I am going through. I created Camp Atta Girl! because I believe every woman — no matter what age, what color, what profession, what size — deserves an atta girl for all she's done in life.
During the camp, you'll connect with other women. You'll be given proven tools to make you happier. We'll take you through all the chakras through dance and movement (that anybody can do!). All of this is with a deep focus on your strength, voice, power and self-love. In this world of chaos, it's a weekend just for you to breathe and feel grounded while tossing in some laughter and joy!
My hope is that you'll have a lot of fun, find your best self again and tap into your courage to make changes you want to make. Or just love what is.
Girl, stop playing small. It's time to play big!

She found Camp Atta girl at a time when she felt lost and hopeless and was searching but didn’t know what she needed until one day saw a facebook ad- signed up for 2021 retreat. When that camp had to be canceled due to COVID, Maria never got the message and showed up at the gate, only to be told it was cancelled after she had traveled there from New York. But her spirit didn’t wane, and she just danced by herself outside the gate for a few moments. In march 2022, she attended a one day retreat in Florida and fell in love with Camp Atta Girl! and LYYD and signed up to become LLYD instructor and in September 2022 finally attended Camp Atta Girl in Berkshire. In October 2022 completed LLYD training. In September 2023 she served as a counselor for and she is so happy and thrilled to join this years Camp Atta Girl!
She’s got a spirit that lights up a room and is one of the kindest women you’ll meet. When she’s not dancing with us, she’s dancing with her loving husband and a beautiful daughter! We're excited she’s coming back and excited to dance with her again!
