It’s Sunday! You know what that means ??

We LOVE our staff here at the
Meet Lisa, Our health and wellness director here at the
SO… WHO AM I? A LITTLE ABOUT ME! 💗
If we haven’t met yet, hi! I’m Lisa!
I thought it was time to share a little more about the person behind the classes, programs, wellness initiatives—and yes, the clipboard and water bottle that seem to be permanently attached to me. 😂
I’m passionate about helping people feel stronger, healthier, and more confident—not just physically, but in everyday life.
I’ve been on my own fitness and wellness journey for over 20 years, and believe me, it hasn’t always been perfect! I’ve had good days, hard days, motivated days, and definitely a few “I’ll start again Monday” days. 😉
But that journey has taught me something really important: fitness is about so much more than how you look.
For me, staying active is a huge part of taking care of my physical and mental health. It helps me feel stronger, happier, more confident, and ready to handle whatever life throws my way. And honestly, some days a good workout is more feasible than therapy!
I’ve been blessed to be part of the YMCA family for over 8 years, and for the past 3+ years I’ve had the privilege of serving as the Health & Wellness Director.
One of the things I love most about what I do is the people. I love helping people find movement they enjoy, watching their confidence grow, celebrating their victories, and reminding them that you don’t have to be perfect—you just have to keep showing up.
Outside of the YMCA, life is pretty full too!
I’m a wife, a mom of four, and a very proud Memal to FIVE grandchildren! ❤️ And because apparently I didn’t have enough going on, I’m also a dog mom to two big pups.
My family keeps me busy, my grandkids keep me young, and my dogs keep me humble.
I’m also passionate about our community and the importance of mental health and healthy choices. I serve on the Mental Health and Alcohol & To***co Awareness Committee through our local Health Department, and I’m a member of Leadership Bourbon County.
Through my personal journey, my work, and my life, I’ve learned that wellness looks different for everyone.
Sometimes it’s crushing a workout. 💪🏼
Sometimes it’s going for a walk.
Sometimes it’s getting enough sleep.
Sometimes it’s spending time with the people you love.
Sometimes it’s asking for help.
And sometimes… it’s simply giving yourself a little grace.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to being healthy.
My goal is to meet people where they are, help them take that next step, and hopefully make fitness and wellness something they can actually enjoy and make part of their everyday lives.
I’m incredibly grateful for the people I’ve met, the friendships I’ve made, the lessons I’ve learned, and the opportunity to do work that I truly love.
So now that you know a little more about me…
Tell me something about YOU! 👇🏼
What’s one thing that makes you happy, keeps you motivated, or helps you take care of yourself?
And yes… “coffee” is absolutely an acceptable answer. ☕😂
