Lisa Porto is an Accredited Practitioner Coach, entrepreneur, author and founder of Empowered Online, a coaching and support agency helping entrepreneurs with chronic health conditions build businesses that work with their energy, not against it.

Living with ME/CFS herself, Lisa brings a rare combination of professional coaching expertise and lived experience to her work. Her signature R.E.S.T. framework blends strategy, energetics, and technology with the reality of running a business through flares, fatigue, and brain fog. It’s an approach built from the inside, not studied from the outside.

Lisa works with clients through one-to-one coaching and mentoring, done-for-you tech and marketing support, and The Chronic Entrepreneur Collective, a membership community for entrepreneurs who want to build sustainable businesses alongside people who genuinely understand their reality. She also founded The Chronic Entrepreneur, a free community supporting entrepreneurs navigating business and chronic illness together.

Lisa’s approach rejects hustle culture and generic business advice that ignores the reality of chronic illness. Instead, she helps clients build clarity, structure, and support systems flexible enough to bend around their energy and capacity, rather than forcing them into someone else’s version of success.

If you’re an entrepreneur living with a chronic health condition and looking for a coach who genuinely understands, Lisa would love to connect.
