About Me

Hello there! I’m Lisa, your National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) and Healthy Hands Certified Cooking Instructor. As a devoted mom, dedicated yogi, passionate jogger, and aspiring meditator, I’ve witnessed firsthand the remarkable effects of nutrition on our lives—especially in children.

Over two decades in the hospitality industry taught me about hard work and the toll of an unhealthy lifestyle. The world’s pause in 2020 allowed me to refocus through the Health Coach Training Program at IIN, where I embraced a new vision of wellness that encompasses the whole person.

The transformation in my own family’s life was a pivotal moment in my journey. Observing how the foods my children ate directly influenced their behavior and mood reinforced the power of nutrition. It was not just about avoiding unhealthy foods but fostering a genuine preference for healthy choices. This shift from enforcement to encouragement led to happier, more balanced days at home.

Inspired to take this further, I discovered the Healthy Hands Cooking program. It was the perfect next step to extend the Be Well Stay Well mission to our next generation. Now, as a certified cooking instructor, I focus on teaching children not just to cook, but to understand and love healthy foods. Through engaging and fun classes, I help kids connect the dots between what they eat and how they feel, empowering them to make healthier choices.

In my classes, children experiment with ingredients, develop their palates, and learn that healthy eating can be exciting and delicious. They gain confidence in the kitchen and take pride in the meals they prepare, which can positively transform their relationship with food.

At Be Well Stay Well, my mission is to guide you and your family on your wellness journeys. By teaching children the importance of good nutrition and giving them the tools to create healthy meals, we can nurture a healthier, happier next generation.

With thanks,

Lisa
