Hi, I’m Lisa. Nice to meet you!

I've always been curious about the human body, human behavior, and the experiences that shape how we interact with ourselves and the world around us.

For much of my life, that curiosity led me through science and athletics.

Before creating Progression Flow Lab, I dedicated 14 years to scientific research, earning my PhD in Biological Sciences and studying how the body heals, adapts, and responds to its environment.

Science taught me to observe, question, and explore. But over time, I began to recognize that not everything meaningful can be measured or quantified. Some things must be experienced and felt.

That realization eventually drew me toward yoga, breathwork, and somatic practice.

Through these experiences, I began exploring another relationship with the body. One that wasn't only about understanding how it works, but about noticing what it feels like to live within it.

What began as curiosity became an ongoing exploration of awareness, sensation, and the ways our experiences shape us.

Beyond Strength and Performance

Alongside my scientific career, athletics has always been part of my life.

With more than 12 years of experience coaching competitive volleyball, and more than two decades as an athlete myself, I've witnessed firsthand the physical, emotional, and psychological demands placed on athletes.

The more I coached, the more I recognized that performance extends beyond strength, skill, and physical conditioning.

How we respond to stress, navigate expectations, recover, and adapt to changing demands all influence our experience.

These observations shaped my interest in bringing together movement, breathwork, body awareness, and recovery-focused practices.

Not simply to help people perform, but to support a more connected relationship with their bodies throughout the process.

The Person Behind The Practice

Through yoga teacher training, somatic breathwork facilitation, and continued somatic study, I began recognizing how this curiosity and connection could become part of the work I offer.

Somatic practice has invited me to explore what happens when we approach ourselves with curiosity rather than judgment, making room for the sensations, emotions, and experiences that arise.

Today, these different parts of my life—scientist, athlete, coach, and somatic practitioner—come together through Progression Flow Lab.

My intention is to create a collaborative space where you can explore your experiences, reconnect with your own needs, and discover what becomes possible when all parts of you are welcome.
