Lisa has been offering holistic health and fitness for over 25 years. Currently she has a virtual fitness studio, Studio in the Heights based in Manhattan where she coaches and teaches fitness and holistic health coaching business with her husband Roderick “Priest” Priestly. They offer coaching, training and workshops integrating their unique “East/West” orientation of functional strength training, whole food nutrition, yoga and healthy holistic living.
Accomplished, engaging and fun, Lisa is frequently asked to share her expertise regarding the benefits of healthy living with a wider audience. Her media involvement spans print, TV, and radio. She was published in Stepping Stones to Success an anthology of success strategies with authors such as Deepak Chopra and Dennis Waitley. She was featured at the Essence Magazine’s Total Day of Health with over 400 women attending. An avid cyclist, Lisa had the honor in 2010 of being featured in Competitor Magazine as the first African American Woman to complete in the Race Across America, a 3005-mile team relay race across the USA. Most recently Lisa shares her harrowing story of her road to recovery after learning in her 50’s that she was born with a heart defect and had to have open-heart surgery.
Lisa believes that integrating a balanced program with both “working out” (strength, cardiovascular and flexibility) and “working –in” (proper food choices and mental restorative practices) is the critical key to one’s ability to live his/her life to the fullest potential. Lisa acts as a holistic coach through her Priestly Process which is a three-step approach of Fitness, Fuel and Focus. She helps clients view their lives more holistically and has them see the possibility of incorporating healthy choices every moment. The system was developed through integrating her experience in personal communication skills work in training & development with her studies as a Yoga teacher, a Holistic Lifestyle Coach from The CHEK Institute, and Holistic health Coach in Ayurveda, as well as her multiple national fitness certifications.
