Hi there!

I'm Lisa and I'm a Certified Health Coach, (soon to be NHWBC board certified), NASM Personal Trainer and a Corrective Exercise Specialist.

For years I believed that I didn't have enough time,  energy or money to live a healthy lifestyle.  Today, I’ve created a life that’s not only healthy, but balanced and also sustainable in the midst of real-life responsibilities.

So let's back up a bit.....
 
Before I was born, my Dad was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes so there was a strong focus on 3 meals a day. As a child, we lived on a small farm where we grew many of our own vegetables, raised our own chickens for cooking and for their eggs, and made our own bread.

By my teenage years, life shifted — and so did our meals. Processed foods and convenience became the norm, swinging us from one extreme to another.
 

At 20, my parents divorced, and I moved to "the city" to pursue modeling. Life didn’t go as planned and I worked minimum wage retail jobs and lived mostly on boxed or processed food. In my early twenties I battled bulimia, sugar addiction, and cervical cancer. At 26 everything changed, and I gave birth to my son. At that moment I knew my purpose was to give him the healthy lifestyle he deserved. I started growing my own vegetables and making my own baby food. I found ways for us to have fun, play and get exercise without me going to a gym and without allowing him to indulge in excessive TV and video games. By the time I was 30, I was a single mom, with no post secondary education.  Life again took another turn with even more challenges. Long work hours, and a limited budget were just a few but I was resourceful, determined, and deeply motivated. 

My ongoing journey and commitment to create a "healthy lifestyle" for me and my son was imperative so I got creative, tapped into my inner strengths and external resources and today I love staying active, keeping life full, and eating real, nourishing food. Finding balance in my habits, movement, and mindset has been the foundation of my well-being. 
 

In 2019, I lost my dad at the age of 81 — a milestone that far exceeded the expectations of doctors who once told him he wouldn’t live past 35. He never let his diagnosis define him. Instead, he saw it as “an inconvenience,” and approached life with resilience, humor, and a commitment to keep moving. His strength and spirit continue to inspire me every day.
 

One of the last things he said to me was, “Daughter, just keep being healthy and keep having fun.”

That’s exactly what I intend to do — and it’s my mission to help others do the same. Through my experience, education, and unwavering drive, I want to guide and support those seeking a healthier, more balanced, and sustainable way of living.
