ABOUT LISA

From figure skating to kinesiology.

Lisa's roots lie in Ukraine and her upbringing in Montreal shaped her with a broad outlook and a naturally open-minded attitude. She fell in love with movement through figure skating, a passion she practised at professional level for ten years. That love for movement sparked her interest in the human body and led her to study Kinesiology at McGill University.

From personal training to physiotherapy.

Driven by the urge to keep learning and developing professionally, Lisa worked as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor. She expanded her skills with certifications in therapeutic and sports massage. When she noticed how old injuries were holding her clients back, she felt the urge to help them recover fully. That led her to physiotherapy.

Mission and motto.

Lisa's daily mission is to help people regain freedom of movement and trust in what their body can do, so they can embrace life without pain or limitations. She believes the best results come when we work towards balance, not only in movement, but also in sleep, nutrition, rest, stress management and emotional well-being, because all these factors influence each other.

My mission is to guide you in finding that balance again.
