LISA DATTILO
A Soft Tissue Specialist … Think about it. Someone who really knows what is going on between the skin and the bone.
Would you like to get rid of that bad knee that always seems to hold you back? Are you having problems recovering from an injury? Can your lower back ever be pain free again? Imagine your muscles lengthened and feeling strength where there was none before. Lisa can address all of this.
With Assisted Resistance stretching Lisa can change the memory of muscles and scar tissue. This releases muscle imbalances, as well as inefficiencies, that allow for full range of motion to emerge back in tonic muscles. By organically addressing soft tissue issues, she produces a bio-mechanical clean‐up that has given many clients an alternative to surgery, physical therapy, or other painful measures.
Lisa has always been passionate about fitness and has been in the industry for 40+ years. She has been a certified Spinning Instructor and avid outdoor cyclist riding with pro cyclist in Cyclocross , Gravel trail as well as mountain biking for many years. She discovered Resistance Stretching 20+ years ago and was the first person to bring Resistance stretching to Missouri. She is a Ki‐Hara Master Stretch Trainer. It is Lisa’s mission to teach people how to safely stretch as well as strength train.
Lisa has had the pleasure of working with professional athletes as well as many competitive St. Louis cyclist and athletes. She will create a custom exercise plan to help clients recover from their conditions and then to maintain physical fitness. Her exercise prescriptions reveal diversity and cross training as key components of a successful workout program.
Lisa strongly believes that everyone owes a certain commitment to oneself and their health. “Our wellness allows a good quality of life and brings a sense of richness and fulfillment to our everyday lives.” She has an infectious spirit and a healing nature. And be forewarned. She likes to giggle.

MICHELLE DAVISON
Michelle’s interest in health and nutrition grew immensely after a college Health course taught her how big of an impact foods and lifestyle factors play in not only short term, but long term health and disease prevention. While working in the fitness industry after college and learning new ways of caring for herself from another Health Coach, she attended the Institute for Integrative Nutrition where she received her Holistic Health Coach Certification. She later completed a Gut Health Course to further her education in gut health, the digestive system and GI issues, as much of our overall health is determined by what is going on inside our gut. Michelle supports her clients and their whole health helping them discover foods, movement and lifestyle factors that will best support them in living their most joyful, efficient, balanced, and best life. With a focus on bio-individuality, seasonal living, self-care and community, she works step by step with clients to help them achieve optimal functioning, get to the root cause of health issues and bring their intentions to fruition during their current season of life. Michelle enjoys group coaching and guiding participants to nourish their bodies, minds and spirits with the seasons to broaden their life balance. While becoming a Resistance Stretch Specialist, Michelle was able to free her body from chronic knee and back pain and understands the potential each body has to correct imbalances from the inside out, live freely and comfortably. Michelle works with clients to improve flexibility, strength, range of motion, balance and mindfulness, while reducing restrictions, pain, tightness and tension in the body. She enjoys exploring nature with her husband and sweet boxer mastiff mix, good food, yoga, golf, hiking and traveling.
