Competitive Career

Lisi very much enjoyed competitive sports since her teens. Sailing, offroad motorcycles, and long-distance triathlons like Half-Ironmans brought her to beautiful locations across Europe and the United States. She achieved her dream of becoming the Women’s European Champion in Enduro Motorcyle racing in 2005.

Pain Journey

In her early 40s she was diagnosed with a chronic lung condition which had a huge impact on her physical abilities. Her compromised health turned out to be a difficult mental and physical challenge.

Through her work she shares her experience over the past ten years, using the Pilates Methods, Yoga, and other tools to improve health, increase bodily awareness, and reduce pain.

This path led her to where she is today: devoting her time to designing science-based programs to the needs of Women over 40 with persistent health issues.

Her professional services are targeted to help clients to get educated and to participate actively in their health journey.
