Hi, I’m Dr. Lisa!
Hi, I’m Dr. Lisa!
For nearly 30 years, I’ve worked with older adults to help them move better, feel stronger, and stay independent. Over time, I saw the same thing happen again and again: people diagnosed with osteopenia or osteoporosis were often left feeling overwhelmed, confused, and afraid to move.
My commitment to bone health is both professional and personal. After receiving my own diagnosis of osteopenia, I gained an even deeper appreciation for the importance of proactive, evidence-based strategies to protect bone health and maintain an active lifestyle. It reinforced what I had seen throughout my career: a diagnosis should not be a sentence to fear, inactivity, or uncertainty.
Many people are told what not to do… but very few are given a clear, evidence-based plan for what they can do to build strength, improve balance, reduce fracture risk, and continue living an active life with confidence.
That’s why I created Brick House Bones®.
My mission is simple: to help people with low bone density and osteoporosis build strength, resilience, and confidence so they can continue doing the things they love with the people they love.
As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, a BoneFit™ Trained Healthcare Professional through Osteoporosis Canada, and a clinician trained through the Institute of Clinical Excellence, I combine the latest evidence-based research with practical, approachable movement strategies that real people can actually apply in everyday life. I’m also a certified yoga instructor, which allows me to blend strength, posture, mobility, balance, and mindful movement into a comprehensive approach to bone health.
But Brick House Bones® is about more than exercise alone.
It’s about helping people move beyond fear-based messaging and understand that building strength matters at every stage of life. It’s about improving posture, balance, power, and confidence so you can stay capable, steady, and engaged in the activities that bring you joy.
Through my YouTube channel, programs, workshop, and the Brick House Bones® Membership Platform & Mobile App, I’ve had the privilege of helping people around the world learn how to exercise safely and effectively for bone health using evidence-based principles.
Whether you are newly diagnosed, returning to exercise after years away, or looking for more advanced osteoporosis-safe training, my goal is always the same:
To help you feel stronger, more confident, and more empowered in your body.
I’m so glad you’re here.
