Bio
Lisa’s awareness of nutrition and wellness came at an early age. Growing up in an Italian family, Lisa witnessed first hand how poor eating habits could have an effect on one’s health. Her most vivid memory of her obese grandmother is the medicine cabinet full of “pills” to fix her various illnesses. It was then that Lisa realized her passion of wanting to help others reach their health and fitness goals. Since 1989, Lisa worked primarily in the weight loss industry before becoming a certified personal trainer. For the past 13 years she has built her personal training business and has expanded her talents becoming certified as both a wellness and nutrition coach. Lisa is a firm believer that most diseases and illnesses can be prevented or treated through nutrition, exercise and leading a healthy lifestyle. She is a mother of three and currently resides in Plano, Texas.
