Meet Dr. Lisa!
Hey there! I'm Dr. Lisa, and let's be real, juggling life and healthy eating can feel like a circus act, right? Been there, done that! But I discovered the magic of clean eating, and it totally flipped my script. Now, I'm all about sharing that sparkle with you through Malibu Lifestyle Coaching. Think of me as your cheerleader, your guide, and your partner in crime as we ditch the diet drama and embrace a vibrant, delicious life. Oh, and when I'm not coaching? You'll find me soaking up the Malibu vibes and cheering on my kids’ adventures with my husband and my golden retriever!
Education
1996
University of Virginia
Bachelor of Arts in Rhetoric & Communication Studies
UVA was where I learned the art of conversation – like, really learned it! I discovered how to turn ideas into stories that stick and how to connect with people from all walks of life. It was basically my training ground for becoming a master communicator, which is super important when you're helping people make big changes in their lives. Plus, who doesn't love a good story?
1999
Harvard University
Master of Education
Think of Harvard as my "aha!" moment university. I got to dive deep into how people learn and grow, and it was seriously fascinating! I learned all sorts of cool tricks for designing programs that actually work and inspire people to reach their goals. It was like unlocking the secret code to personal transformation, and I was hooked!
2007
The George Washington University Doctor of Education
GWU was where I put on my "investigator" hat. I became a pro at digging for the truth about wellness and learning how to separate the real deal from the hype. It was like a super fun, intense research adventure, and I loved the challenge of figuring out the best ways to help people live their healthiest lives. I became a bit of a wellness detective, and I loved it!

The Health Coach Institute was like finding my calling! I got to learn the hands-on skills of coaching and see firsthand how powerful it can be.
