With a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from The University of Minnesota, a second Bachelor’s in Nursing from New York University, and her Master’s degree from Pace University, Lisa brings a unique whole body perspective, thoroughness to detail, and passion for preventive medicine to her weight management  and healthcare approach.  Her favorite part of working with patients is building relationships. 

Prior to becoming a nurse practitioner, Lisa worked as a registered nurse in a physical rehabilitation unit and as a labor and delivery nurse, experiencing first-hand the physiologic effects, diseases and mental struggles patient’s go through when carrying excess weight in daily life, through pregnancy and beyond. These experiences inspired her passion for empowering women and their families to make individualized plans to improve their health and daily lives.
