Lisa has been working with 50 + adults (of which she can proudly say she now is one) for her entire career. Lisa is a gerontological nurse practitioner who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing with both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in nursing science.  As a nurse, Lisa has worked in a variety of settings including nursing homes, outpatient clinics, acute care hospitals, and sub-acute rehabilitation facilities.  

​Lisa began practicing yoga over 25 years ago after sustaining a low back injury. Discovering the effectiveness of yoga postures and breathing practices in healing her back, she realized the healing that yoga could bring to her patients. Lisa completed her 200 and 300 hour and yoga therapy teacher trainings at the Yoga Life Institute.  Her additional yoga certificate trainings include Yoga for Seniors through Duke University Department of Integrative Medicine, Restore your Prana with Robin Rothenberg, Pain Care Aware (levels 1-3) with Neil Pearson, and Functional Yoga Therapy with Maria Shamas.

Lisa’s approach to wellness comes from a blend of her yoga and nursing backgrounds. She specializes in helping her clients live their best lives despite chronic illness. Her goal is to bring the joy of yoga to everybody, regardless of age, size, shape or ability. She meets people where they are connecting them to their own innate healing potential.
