Lisa is passionate about helping others find the tools to live a life in wellness. She has extensive (20+yrs) experience as a Registered Nurse. Throughout her career she has witnessed the failures of the healthcare system time and time again - both as a Flight Nurse and in the ER. This system breakdown compounded with compassion fatigue and ultimately led Lisa to seeking an alternative career path in which she could combine her nursing education and experience with her passion for holistic health and wellness. In her research, Lisa discovered the Integrative Nurse Coach Academy's Integrative Nurse Coach Certificate Program and decided it was exactly what she was looking for. She passed her board certification and soon after was offered a Clinical Faculty position for the very same program. As her passion for health and the human body grew, so did her love for Yoga. She initially came to Yoga in college to help with the stressors of Nursing School, as well as a more mindful way to move her body. Over the past 20 years Lisa has grown as a Yoga student, making her choice to become a Registered Yoga Teacher both natural and easy. Since graduating from YTT at The Yoga Loft in Olympia, WA, she has immersed herself in the inner teachings of Yoga, graduating with multiple certificates in the history and philosophy of Yoga.
