About Lisa

I love learning about new things, especially when my mind and body are challenged.

I believe that high tides raise all boats.

Bodies of water bring me peace, especially the ocean.

I give experience gifts. Memories are more precious than things.

My child graduated with a Master of Social Work in 2024. I am so proud they joined my profession.

I am a professional dancer. In 2021 at age 55, I decided to add fire. I love to blend the art of fire spinning with my dance training.

So much of the training I offer is virtual. I love the chance to get in front of a live audience.
