Hello, my name is Lisa!
I’m a wife, mom, health and wellness coach, trainer, entrepreneur, and lifelong learner when it comes to health and wellness.
I’m also a woman in my 50s figuring out this season of life right alongside many of the women I coach.
My interest in wellness started long before Solid at My Core. Over the years, it has evolved through raising a family, building a business, becoming a personal trainer and health coach, navigating midlife, and continuing to learn more about nutrition, hormones, strength, behavior change, and what it really means to age well.
And if there is one thing I’ve learned along the way, it’s this:
There is no one right way to be healthy.
Our bodies change. Our lives change. Our priorities change. And sometimes what worked beautifully for us five or ten years ago simply isn’t what we need today.
That belief is at the heart of Solid at My Core.
My own journey
I haven’t always had wellness perfectly figured out—and I still don’t.
I’ve gone through seasons where exercise came easily and seasons where it didn’t. I’ve experimented with different ways of eating, training, and taking care of myself. I’ve navigated the changes that come with midlife and learned firsthand how confusing all of the information around hormones, metabolism, nutrition, supplements, and aging can become.
I’ve also learned that doing more isn’t always the answer.
For me, wellness has become much more about building a strong foundation: strength, movement, nourishing food, sleep, stress management, healthy habits, connection, and yes—actually enjoying my life.
I want to be strong now, but I’m also thinking about the woman I want to be in my 60s, 70s, 80s and beyond.
That perspective has shaped the way I coach.
Why I do this work…
I love helping women sort through all the wellness noise and discover what makes sense for their body, their goals, and their life.
I’m not interested in telling every woman to follow the exact same plan. I’m much more interested in helping you understand yourself.
What matters to you? What is realistic in your life right now? What’s working? What isn’t? What are you ready to change? And what small steps could make the biggest difference?
Sometimes that means focusing on nutrition or strength. Sometimes it’s sleep, stress, movement, or hormones. And sometimes it’s simply getting back to a few basic habits and rebuilding consistency.
My role as a coach is to educate, ask questions, listen, support you, and help you create a path forward that feels like yours.
That’s where my longtime philosophy comes in:
YOU DO YOU.
My education + credentials
I take my role as a health and wellness professional seriously, and continuing education has always been important to me.
Over the past decade, I’ve continued to study health, fitness, nutrition, hormones, behavior change, and coaching to better support the women I work with.

I continue to learn because the wellness world keeps changing. But I also believe more information isn’t always better.
The goal is knowing how to take that information, filter out the noise, and determine what is actually useful for the person sitting in front of me.
A little more about me…
When I’m not coaching, I’m usually doing some combination of family life, moving my body, working on my business, or dreaming up whatever I’m going to do next.
A few things that are very me:
My family is my world. I’m a wife and mom, and that role will always be at the center of who I am.
Walking is one of my favorite forms of therapy. Give me a good walk outside, and I can usually sort through just about anything.
I love feeling strong. Strength training has become less about how I look and much more about what I want my body to be able to do for a very long time.
I love to bake. Because wellness and homemade treats can absolutely live in the same life.
Friday night is date night. My hubby and I have made Friday nights our time to reconnect—usually over a good dinner and a glass of wine—so we remember that we still actually like each other. It’s one of my favorite weekly rituals.
I’m a Minnesota girl. I love being outside, changing seasons, cabin time, and soaking up our beautiful summer days when we get them.
I’m a dog person. Our dog, Vader, is very much part of the family.
I’m always learning. Give me a new book, training, podcast, class, or wellness rabbit hole and I’m probably going to want to know more.
Most of all, I believe life is meant to be lived while we’re taking care of ourselves.
I’m not chasing perfection, and I don’t expect the women I work with to either.
I want to be strong, healthy, curious, connected, and able to keep doing the things I love for a very long time.
For me, that’s what it means to be Solid at My Core.
And I’d love to help you discover what that means for you, too.
