Lisa is a Summa Cum Laude graduate from the Florida College of Integrative Medicine. There, she received a Bachelor’s in Professional Health Studies and a Master’s Degree in Oriental Medicine. She is also a Diplomate of Oriental Medicine through NCCAOM and a licensed Doctor of Oriental Medicine in the state of Florida. Her training includes Western Medicine and Oriental Medicine as well as a variety of Integrative and Functional Medicine approaches. Lisa is experienced in Bio-Energetic Feedback techniques, Applied Kinesiology / Muscle Testing, and interpreting various types of lab work. A client of Healing Alternatives since childhood, Lisa has been bought up around natural healing modalities for as long as she can remember. Turning to herbs, homeopathic remedies, and energy work first is a way of life for her. Her first memory of an Integrative Medical Doctor is from a young age when a sibling continually had ear infections and had been prescribed a surgical procedure for tubes in his ears. In an effort to make sure that didn’t happen, her mother found a Naturopathic Doctor who used muscle testing (Applied Kinesiology) to determine that it was simply a food allergy that was causing the earaches. Since then, she and her family have been devoted to looking at health and wellness from a holistic point of view. It’s important to remember, just because your ears hurt, doesn’t mean the root of the problem is in your ears.
