FUNCTIONAL NUTRITION | HEALTH COACH | PRACTITIONER SUPPORT

The missing link

WELCOME

If you've tried every diet and still don't feel like yourself...

I see you. Brain fog. Weight gain. Bloating.

Mood swings. Hormone imbalance.
It’s not aging and it's not normal.
It’s inflammation, toxic load, and metabolic stress.

You don’t need another diet.
You need a structured reset.

Hello!

I'm Lisa

A Health Coach and Functional Nutrition Educator since 2008

In this information age, more knowledge often creates more confusion — especially for the clients who need change the most. 

Too many rules. Not sure where to start. You have the information.  You’re determined. But not sure how to implement. 

After 25 years in Information Technology, I know that information alone can be overwhelming. 

Information activates the mind. 

Experience regulates the nervous system. 

Outcomes improve with demonstration and even better when it is experiential. This is why I owned a detox spa, pursued yoga education, and nervous system-based modalities to create transformational experiences for clients. 

In my quest for the most sustainable method for creating lasting change... it came from the least likely place... the kitchen. You know dietary change will improve outcomes. But telling is cognitive. Showing is practical. Experiencing it creates integration. And integration is what rewires behavior. 

That experiential layer is what most practices are missing.

As a coach I empower you, from functional lab work to kitchen skills and everything in between.

Long before detox

programs became mainstream...

and infrared therapy entered the wellness conversation, my work was already being featured in national and regional publications. Editors and industry leaders sought commentary not because detox was trending — but because my approach was structured, results-driven, and an early voice speaking out on the topic.

That early recognition reflects something deeper than media exposure: it reflects a pattern of seeing where health is headed — and building practical systems before the market catches up.

Testimonials

I heard Lisa on the radio...

  "Lisa is extremely knowledgeable, continuously learning from world-wide experts in nutrition. She is very gifted in coaching others.  She is generous with her time and cares deeply about helping others. I am able to eliminate all but one medication, experience much less inflammation, and have improved my sleep.  With all I have learned from Lisa, I am building on the foundation she provides on good food choices, the science behind them, where to find new recipes, and how to continuously learn more about an overall healthy lifestyle."

Your Questions Answered

Why do I need functional health coaching?

You’ve come to the realization that no diagnosis has ever solved anything, and you’re more interested in ‘why,’ not ‘what.’  

You feel dis-ease and you want to find peace. 

You know that a state of confusion is a waste of life-force energy.

I lead with education and empower you along the way.  I work with people who are sick and tired of being sick and tired. We want more out of life and are ready to do what it takes. 

Will this help with my mental health?

Yes, it most likely will.  This is my passion.  Anxiety, depression, and brain fog are debilitating. I’ve been there.  Between 1997-2007 I was on anti-anxiety meds and anti-depressants, until I detoxed!  The change of diet and lifestyle were profound and, frankly, I was pretty furious that my doctors never discussed this.  

When I owned my Wellness Spa it surprised me to see the number of women coming in who were also on these meds and had never discussed the possible impact of diet and detoxification.  So, I created a lecture for mental health professionals and gave accredited Continuing Education lectures on diet and detox.  (Accredited in Michigan.)

I now use tools like HTMA, and even created a course on Minerals and Mood that discusses how imbalances affect our mental health.

I’ve tried so many things, how will working with you be any different?

First of all, I’ve been there.  Sick and tired. Exhausted. Confused. Back in 2007 I detoxed myself and subsequently purchased a wellness spa in 2008 to start helping more people.

Over nearly 2 decades I have been coaching people to sort through the confusion and heal at the foundational level. While medical professionals may fixate on a diagnosis, or discuss symptoms, we get to what your body is trying to tell you.

In my experience the body can heal when we remove the interference. That is what makes working with me different.  

Everyone can benefit from my 12-week guided program, which allows us to get to know ourselves better. If someone follows that program they come out of it saying things like: 

“You set me free.”

“You gave me my life back.”

“This saved my life.”

This is a low cost group program with the option to add labs, but labs are not necessary to benefit from this experience.

How much do the programs cost?

My programs are affordably priced, starting at $197, and I pass along my wholesale pricing for any labs you wish to run.  

The 3-month detox program is $997 and personalized 1:1 coaching is $1,997 + the cost of labs.

With any of my programs you will receive a discount on all supplements through my dispensary.

I understand that paying for coaching is an investment. But there is a higher cost to pay if you remain in confusion.  We don’t get time back.  And if you are like me, you want to live life on your terms. 

What additional support do you offer?

I have a community where I offer monthly challenges and workshops, because health is truly a journey.  We live in exciting times with new discoveries and it can be confusing, reconciling old information with emerging technologies.  And if you’re anything like me, you may be the ‘black sheep’ of your family (those on the cutting edge usually are), so having a place to ‘plug-in’ can be helpful.

How do your cooking classes tie in to being a health coach?

Based on feedback from numerous lectures and workshops, I started offering cooking demos and then full cooking classes, because of the number of professionals who would approach me saying they wanted to eat better but didn’t really know what healthy looked like and then many would whisper, “Well I don’t really know how to cook.” 

My cooking program, Freedom Kitchen, was created because my clients said I set them free. And my attempt to set more people free led to the creation of Freedom Kitchen.  Additionally, I had moms telling me their kids wouldn’t eat healthy, so I created Freedom Kitchen Kids.  

Over the years of teaching cooking classes it became clear to me that cooking elevates consciousness and practitioners needed to understand how to use cooking for clinical outcomes, so additional programs were created and I now train other practitioners.

MAGAZINE

Education that is

fun and functional

Based on years of lecturing to professional audiences and teaching nutrition curriculum to families, I created this quarterly publication to share the information that my classes have found the most interesting.

Food (and water and sunlight) is the foundation of health; yet we have very little food literacy. In a society conditioned to be "consumers" we need to reframe our thinking to become "contributors."

You see, convenience is disguised dependence.

And Freedom Kitchen teaches creativity over convenience.

Learn how our freedom has been co-opted and what we can do about it with each issue of my magazine.
