“Calling all senior financial executives, employee wellness is critical to attract and retain top talent and Lisa is THE thought leader in this area.”

— ROBERT E. BENDETTI JR., CFO OF LIFE CYCLE ENGINEERING

“There seems to be a team-type attitude. We encourage and support each other throughout the day. Every one of the participants has seen some improvement in their health whether it be weight loss, reduced blood pressure, and lower cholesterol, etc. This program has been a win-win for all, good for the employees now and the company going forward.”

— JACKIE, HR DIRECTOR, OKONITE COMPANY, ORANGEBURG SC

“As both a human resource consultant and personal participant of Lisa's class, I can attest to the program's quality and Lisa's expertise in supporting my classmates and me as we worked toward improving our health and overall well-being. The connection, support, and accountability that the program provided for our employees they cited as one of the most valuable results."

— EMMA, HR ADMINISTRATOR, EVENING POST INDUSTRIES

“Before our employees started working with Lisa and Wellness Five, many were struggling with low energy and lack of mental focus because of unhealthy eating habits. As a result, it was creating high absenteeism, low employee morale, and at times affecting job performance. Now our employees have a systematic way of eating better, moving more and have gained confidence in their abilities to become the best version of themselves.”

— ANGEL, HR DIRECTOR, EVENING POST INDUSTRIES, CHARLESTON SC

“I offered this program to my team and then took it along with them. Lisa opened my eyes to the basic fact that food is fuel and is no longer my resource for fun, happiness, joy, or any other feeling. It is all controllable, and Lisa showed me how to take control. Thank you, Lisa!”

— RHONDA, PUBLISHER, AIKEN STANDARD, AIKEN SC

When this Lunchtime program was offered, I signed up. Why? Because my doctor had just told me my A1C was elevated and I was becoming insulin-resistant. My goal was to lose at least 10% of weight since that’s the recommended amount to lower my A1C.

I love the accountability and camaraderie that the program provides. I am happy to report that I exceeded my weight loss goal of 10% to 12%, currently a loss of 24 lbs. I am not finished yet!

—Irma, Health, Safety & Environment Coordinator, INTERFOR, Summerville SC

"Before the diabetes prevention program, I was in the obese category and had high blood pressure. I’m now a different /improved/better version of myself because of what Lisa shared. I have lost 15 pounds and am still losing. Having the support of this class helped me succeed and not fall back into my old habits.”

— BLANCH, PARTICIPANT, BAMBERG SC

“At this point, I have surpassed two goals for my desired weight and I am off of 4 of 5 prescription meds. My life is full of energy that I didn’t realize I was capable of and I’m having a blast figuring out new recipes and activities with my family. My transformation has motivated several friends and family members to change the health habits that we didn’t realize were causing us so many problems. I’m greatly appreciative to Lisa for her attention and effort in helping me create life-long changes in my life and hopefully others.”

— TREY, PARTICIPANT, ORANGEBURG SC

“I cannot begin to tell you how blessed and emotional I am to finally have all this weight off. I haven’t been this thin for years and I haven’t felt this empowered. As I am writing this, I am on the verge of tears because I am so thankful to have taken this course. Thank you for allowing me to see so much.”

— KATHLEEN, PARTICIPANT, CHARLESTON SC

“I wanted to share my great news… I weighed in at my goal weight! The only time I ever lost weight in the past was when I didn’t eat and was starving. With Lisa’s help, I achieved a healthy balance in my life and diet. I feel like this is a Godsend, and I can’t thank you enough!”

— JOANNIE, PARTICIPANT, GOOSE CREEK SC

“Thanks to Lisa and this program for changing my life! Not only did the program give real-life instruction, but it made it doable. Even after a year, I am still losing weight, have increased my activity, and feel better than I have in years. This program was a life changer for me. Make Living a Healthier Life your choice and contact Lisa.”

— SARAH, PARTICIPANT, HOLLY HILL SC

“I became interested in the Healthy Habits program due to gradual weight gain over the years, high blood pressure, and arthritis. The program teaches you how to eat better and move more in an already busy schedule. My blood pressure has lowered to the point that I am now nearly off my medication. Lisa was a supportive and caring coach who knew when to get my attention so I could get the results I wanted. I would highly recommend this program to anyone. It is not a diet but a lifestyle change!- ”

— JACQUELYN, PARTICIPANT, ROTONDA FL

“Weight loss has been a journey for me; I’ve tried so many things. I’ve even given up! My employer introduced a program last year and I figured, I’d try it. This class was very different from anything I’d tried in the past. What was different? It was a group effort, we were all accountable to each other, and we supported each other.

—BARBARA, PARTICIPANT, SUMMERVILLE SC

I am so appreciative of Lisa and this program. I never realized “lifestyle change” includes changing your mindset—until taking the classes. I was an athlete in high school and believed until recently that I should be able to do the same things (that’s not happening—I’m nearly 40!!!). Time after time, I got involved in a sport and injured myself by pushing too hard and fast. Lisa’s classes taught me that even the most minuscule steps are still progress. The momentum of small gains began to carry me to much more significant improvement. I became very ill earlier this year and could not swim (my newest passion) for months. Usually, I would have given up and not exercised for months, but I remembered her encouraging SMART goals. Little by little, sometimes annoyingly slowly, I worked back up to my baseline before my illness. I have lost weight and am exercising more overall, but the gift of being patient with myself and the process is the most valuable piece for me.
