Lisa, originally from southern New Jersey, grew up a devoted student of dance and participated in swimming and figure skating over the years. She received a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and History from Syracuse University, a J.D. from Rutgers School of Law-Camden, and a LL.M. from American University’s Washington School of Law. When she started her career, Lisa was looking for various ways to relieve stress and stay active and fell in love with running, yoga, and spin classes. She decided to try a class at the Pilates Loft to strengthen her abs and lower back as well as improve her posture. Lisa was hooked on the Authentic Pilates method after her first class because of the difference she felt from other Pilates classes. After being an avid student, Lisa decided to become certified to further learn the system and share her love of Pilates.

​

Lisa was certified in 2017 after completing over 600 hours of intensive training at the Pilates Loft in Arlington with Alia Staples, Alia Staples, Teacher Trainer for U.S. Pilates™ LLC; Jennifer O’Mara, Principal and Senior Teacher Trainer for U.S. Pilates™ LLC; and Brett Howard Principal, Senior Teacher Trainer and Director of Education for U.S. Pilates™ LLC.s. She is excited to share the Authentic Pilates method with her clients to help them meet their fitness goals and look and feel their best.
