Lisa
Fun Fact: Went skydiving a couple of times and loved it!
Hi, I'm Lisa. I grew up in Connecticut and raised my son here as well. When my son was young, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune issue that significantly impacted my life. This experience led me on a long journey to discovering holistic health solutions to regain my well-being. It sparked a deep passion for health and wellness, which ultimately led me to pursue a career in the fitness industry prior to joining D-Fine. I truly love helping others transform their lives and am very excited to work with like-minded individuals who share the same vision and commitment. In my free time, I enjoy various community group activities, outdoor adventures and can’t get enough of the beach.
