Growing up in Ohio, Lisa was the person everyone came to for advice and leadership. After receiving her BA in Communications from Miami University, she spent her early career in Customer Service in industries as diverse as office supplies to temporary staffing.
In 1997, she and her longtime partner, Darren, moved to Chicago, continuing in Customer Service at CP Kelco and Beltone Hearing.
After starting her family, in 2004, she kicked off her Coaching career by working for Weight Watchers for 14 years. Her ability to make everyone feel seen and heard made her one of the most successful Leaders and Trainers in the city.
In 2017, Lisa and her family moved to Los Angeles from Chicago. She received her Master Transformational Coaching Certification from The Health Coach Institute and went on to found Transformation for Real™, while also working for HCI as a Success Coach.
A passionate advocate for LGBTQ rights, Lisa completed the Ride for AIDS twice, 500 miles in 1999 and another 200 miles in 2014, raising thousands of dollars for AIDS charities, as well as increasing awareness.
Lisa’s deep love of her two kids, Liam and Charlotte, her husband Darren, and music are what fuel her everyday existence. She is a fierce fighter against the patriarchy and for a woman’s right to make her own health care choices. In her perfect world, women are running things, and the world is a better place for it.
“Lisa is an inspiring leader and teacher. She has the gifts of listening yet probing at the right time to help her learn more about you. She is a terrific coach, has a wicked sense of humor and the compassion necessary to bring out the best in others.”

My Coaching Approach
I let each client know that I believe they can make their goals happen even if they aren’t so sure (yet). Then I show them how it’s possible to make sustainable, long-term changes to their lives, teach them strategies to reframe their thinking and empower their progress, and consistently support them throughout their journey so they trust themselves and the decisions they are making.
With my training and today’s technology...
I’m able to meet people wherever they are, geographically and otherwise. I look forward to meeting you – wherever you are – and talking about how I can help you transform your life.
“Lisa brings a wealth of professional experience and knowledge to helping women set and achieve goals that benefit their physical health, mental/emotional well-being and approach to life challenges. She is a dynamic, passionate and enthusiastic advocate. After working with her for more than a year I am more centered and focused about every aspect of my life.”
