Her experience working in clinical psych and acute rehabilitation settings has led her to facilitate a nourishing and motivating environment in her training sessions. In addition, Lisa is studying the application of neuroscience to training in Z-Health Performance and Next Level Neuro, bringing another unique and innovative facet to her coaching.
