Medicine Work
Ready to feel better?
You're in the right place.
Medicine customized to your unique needs.
For nearly 20 years I've partnered with people just like you to create greater vitality & well-being through an alchemy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Functional Medicine, Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychology, nutrition, lifestyle alignment and applied kinesiology.
The people that find their way to me:
- are smart people having challenges with their body & health who want a partner to help them find effective, holistic solutions.
- are interested in treating the root cause of symptoms and being proactive in their health & longevity.
- have been given diagnoses but no pathway to health -- only disease management, or have been told "everything looks fine" but they don't feel fine.
- often have a sense that there's a relationship between symptoms in their body and other aspects of their lives but can't quite connect the dots.
- have "tried everything else" with no lasting shift in health.
- are ready to feel better!
With my integrative approach, I bridge Eastern wisdom with modern clinical tools to:
-
Take the confusion out of knowing how to take care of your body and create simplicity.
-
Teach as we go so you can learn your body's signals and become your own expert.
-
Create a safe, non-judgmental space for you to receive the care you deserve.

Kind Words
"Take a gander at that cholesterol trend! It hasn't been this low since, well, forever. Even my PCP noticed and she is sparse with her praise. I can't begin to thank you! You are truly a genius of the heart and mind." - Janet K.
"I want to say thank you so much for all for your love and guidance. I wouldn’t feel this sense of wholeness without the foundation of healing you offered me." - Liz H.
" . . . as I re-organize my files, I'm coming across some labs from our work together...a little snap shot into 2015, and how in a mere 6 months you really turned my health and life around! Just thought I'd express my gratitude to you for our work together...you really helped me dig myself out of a serious depletion hole ." - Camilla F.
"Lisa has been indispensable in my journey toward health - physically, emotionally and spiritually, on all planes of existence. When I came to see Lisa, I was overweight and had been for most of my life. Diets weren't working, and I just felt bad overall. I was on antidepressants and was caffeinating myself to keep myself awake through the day and drinking several glasses of wine to get myself to sleep at night. Through our work I was able to get off of antidepressants, found a healthier lifestyle which contributed to a better mood overall and resolved my stomach issues. Lisa has shown me how to advocate for myself. I have always felt supported and loved in a non-judgmental and safe space." - Theresa M.
"When perimenopause started kicking my ass, Lisa helped save me (and all the other people I could have injured at the time) and I feel like I know my body and how to live a healthy lifestyle more now than ever. Lisa doesn't just treat symptoms, she helps you to understand WHY things are happening so you can make informed decisions. Highly recommend, especially for hormone help." - Trista P.
"I am not a slave to food anymore, particularly sugar! I never thought I would be able to give up the foods I did, and I feel so much better now. I wouldn't dream of going back to eating the old way." - Robert J.
"Lisa has helped me see difficult situations through a kinder lens and I've learned to listen to my body and have an appreciation for all the work it does to keep me healthy. I've learned to trust my intuition and to listen to my unique voice, even when it comes to "experts" that I've been conditioned to believe know more about my body than I do." - Katy T.
"When I came to Lisa, I was seeking alleviation of extreme pain after unsuccessful western medicine attempts. I was not a believer in alternative medicine, but was desperate for relief. Through working with Lisa my pain is now gone and in the process, my overall health has improved too. Lisa has guided me in understanding the correlation between body & mind (thoughts have power!). Her gentle nudging forced me to acknowledge/accept that past experiences created now-invalid thought loops that were strangling my growth. I recommend Lisa for her comprehensive approach to healing both body and mind. Her methods are productive and effective. Can't count the number of "ah ha" moments encountered in our sessions. Would not have predicted how necessary and essential this process has become to my well-being. Thank you, Lisa!" - Donna D.
"It is a joy to come to you because you make me think, and you don't let me make excuses for myself. You've saved my life." - Todd C.
"Thank you for the great session yesterday. It was amazing, as usual, and I left feeling much more grounded." - Christy L.
"I've always loved how you're able to bring the whole person into the equation of health and healing. Thank you again for all your help and support over the years. You are an inspiration and one of my major role models for how I want to practice once I'm done with school (so soon!)." - N.S.
"Winner winner chicken dinner! If you have the opportunity to work with Lisa, go for it. My whole family sees Lisa and I appreciate how she helps each of us with such different symptoms. I think we're all better off having her in our corner." - William S.
"I was experiencing menstrual cramps, irregular bleeding and fibroids. I felt like a mess. The options I was given by my OB/GYN was ablation or a hysterectomy -- at 42 years old! I got Lisa's name from a friend and I'm so glad I did. Within our first session, I understood why my cycle was so off and what was creating all the symptoms. I cleaned up my diet, started taking herbs and doing acupuncture regularly and within 3 months all of my symptoms were gone. Lisa gave me what she calls "feedback loops" so I could track my body's signals and translate what they meant to measure progress. We should all get this education in elementary school! Can't recommend Lisa enough." - Tina S.
"I started going through menopause and thought I was going crazy. My body was doing things I'd never experienced before and my mental space was scary at times. My gynecologist recommended I see Lisa for help with balancing stress. Lisa took the time to understand my full health history, but she also asked me about my emotions and other parts of my life that were contributing to my situation. I felt like she really got me. We came up with a plan that felt do-able and I started with a cleanse that shifted a ton for me. I started sleeping better, my skin cleared up and energy was more stable. I learned how to eat healthier and more regularly so moods leveled out. We started bioidentical hormone therapy and my hot flashes and night sweats got so much better and I started to feel human again. Lisa taught me how to live in my body in a whole new way and I still hear her voice in my head - in all the good ways! :)" - Becca F.
"I had experienced chronic pain in my abdomen for years that would come and go. I went to multiple doctors but was told everything looked fine. I saw Lisa and in the first session she muscle tested me and found an immune challenge and foods I was sensitive to that were causing the pain. I did a cleanse to calm down the inflammation in my gut, adjusted my diet and started on a supplement protocol that helped to repair my gut. I've referred many friends and co-workers to Lisa because she has a way of getting to the root of things quickly and effectively." - Heather J.
