Primal Transformations

I partner with women who are ready to reclaim their healthy mojo and rock their life! I brew up a tasty "transformation recipe" using a combo of real food, non-crazy fitness, and mindset swaps that help women get out of their own way and onto living an epic life. I have a Master's Degree in Library and Information Science which I use every day to stay on the cutting edge of wellness research. I am an ACSM certified personal trainer and a Precision Nutrition Coach. Services:

Biography:

Lisa Perkins grew up on an island in Southeast Alaska, graduated with a B.S. in Political Science from the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and spent a number of years working as a political aide in Alaska and Washington D.C. Throughout this period, she indulged her insatiable curiosity about the world by traveling extensively throughout Southeast Asia, Central America, and Europe. With a desire to settle down and raise a family, Lisa spent a decade living in remote Alaska villages, raising her daughters, immersing herself in Alaska native cultures, and working as a part-time librarian. In 2008, Lisa and her family moved to Wichita, Kansas where she pursued a master's in library and information science. It was at this point that she decided to finally get to the root cause of lingering health issues including digestive issues, lack of energy, migraines, and depression. After many years of being prescribed antacids, Lisa stumbled upon the issue of gluten intolerance. Thinking she'd tried everything else, she decided to give this approach a try and within two weeks was astounded that most of the issues she'd struggled with her entire adult life were resolved. For the first time since childhood, she was able to reclaim vibrant health, boundless energy, and a strong, lean physique. This breakthrough empowered Lisa to seek even more ways to optimize her family's health and led her to do exhaustive research. She used this research to develop a multi-pronged approach to health and fitness which includes: whole natural foods rich in micronutrients, appropriate activity levels, plenty of sleep, stress reduction, and a healthy work/life balance. Lisa currently works at Wichita State University where she has taught health and fitness classes for the Upward Bound program. She serves on the Hunter Health Clinic Board of Directors, a non-profit community health clinic whose mission is to provide quality health care to those who may not otherwise have access. When she is not working and spending time with her family, she trains and coaches clients ranging in age from 13 to 73!
