Lisa's Bio
Everything in Lisa's life is about helping others make the right choices for themselves. The quality of those choices stems from the knowledge one has gained through either experience or shared knowledge and Lisa has a great deal of experience and knowledge to share.
Nutrition, health, lifestyle and image captured Lisa's interest early in life and pushed her to become the professional she is today.
She has built on her starting career as a weight loss counsellor to devise a strategy encompassing the aspects of mind, body and inner self to create a healthier life. To this end, Lisa carries her own line of nutritional supplements, from a leading manufacturer, to help the body heal and develop.
With over 14 years experience of food analysis, menu planning, quality food research, daily activity comparisons, counselling and action plans, Lisa's approach to a healthy lifestyle is proven, realistic and fun.
"Happiness is a goal that shouldn't be as hard as we seem to make it". With personalized field trips to the grocery store and in-home assessment of fridges and kitchen cupboards, Lisa's belief is to structure necessary actions for healthy living in a fun, positive and uplifting manner.
With a background in esthetics, spa treatments for detoxification and the latest scientific/technological treatments for weight management and loss, Lisa continues to keep up-to-date with what men and women want and helps them achieve it, keeping health and balance at the forefront.
Demonstrating and sharing her techniques in the target areas of nutrition, diet, activity, lifestyle, counselling, and physical image, Lisa has made numerous television appearances. Credits include: CTV, The Shopping Channel, City Pulse, Life By Design, retail work-out videos and is also a monthly contributor on Lifestyles with Rita on CHEX television. In addition, Lisa presents her nutritional seminars to businesses such as Fitness Junky and McMillan Law Firm and institutions such as The Durham District School Board and The Community Social Services.
Connecting with others, guiding and supporting them to reach a healthy goal is Lisa's mission!
