Hey, I’m Lisa & I’m happy running mad.
As a child I was the helper, the mother hen, the people pleaser, the “tell me and I will do it child.” I still am! I also realized at a very young age, how fitness affected my mood and energy. I was 5 when I started running with my Dad. When I ran I felt the bug everyone talks about, I knew what it meant when I heard people say fitness is a drug. I was addicted from the very beginning.
Over the years, fitness and its purpose evolved for me but it was always my constant go to. No matter what life threw at me I could depend on my sneakers and that feeling of release as I started to sweat.
I wasn’t always kind to myself… I judged, compared, and felt I wasn’t enough… I had anxiety and stressed over the small stuff… not til I became a Mom was I finally free of the “inner mean girl”. I made a promise to my little babes that I would not let this type of energy be passed on to them.
Over time … LSF was born!! I know first hand the benefits of having pillars like Fitness, Nutrition and Support and what it does for a woman. It is my misson to share all of this with women like you!
I am a Mother of 4 amazing kiddos who keep me on my toes;
Life is a juggling act often where women forget to include themselves…
I am passionate about empowering women to THRIVE!!!
What Clients Say
Your positivity has given me new life and inspired me so much! I read every post you put out there and share your words of inspiration to all those around me. I made a promise to myself this school year that I would approach things more positively and with more gratitude and light and you’ve really helped me on my way.
Lisa has drastically changed my outlook on Fitness. And because of that I feel I am a more positive person. I find myself looking at other body types and appreciating all the sizes and shapes of women. Lisa has shown me that you don’t have to be ‘Skinny’ to feel like you fit in. You just need to believe internally you are a beautiful person, and then live your life as if you are that beautiful person; the rest will follow. Thanks to Lisa I feel rejuvenated!
Lisa is such A wonderful motivator, leader and friend. She is there to help bring me up when I need it, cheer for me when I see results and to vent when I have a bad day..so I don’t eat all the kids treats!! Lol my fitness journey is one that will be a part of my everyday life..and know that with Lisa as my coach..I can continue to be successful in my journey.
