“She's incredibly knowledgeable, listens to all my concerns, and makes sure to address everything that's bothering me during the time of our treatment.”
“Lisa took the time to verify that she was (luckily) in network with my health insurance provider and patiently confirmed all costs up front before our first appointment.”
“She talks through the action plan with me step by step, that way I can understand her thought process and make any changes if I’m uncomfortable in anyway.”
“As someone who’s very active and recently dealt with overtraining, I was looking for anything that could help me speed up recovery and get back to my usual routine.”

From the reviews
…In addition to acupuncture, I have received treatment with moxa, microcurrent, sliding cupping, and herbs. Everything has helped at least a little bit. My symptoms have improved, even while I slowly tapered off the prescription meds that were the only treatment offered by conventional medicine. I highly recommend Dr.
…I typically receive a combination of acupuncture and cupping, and I feel like I’m walking out on a cloud when I’m done.
Dr. Lisa is everything you look for in a healer: an astute listener, empathetic, and non-judgmental. I’ve begun to see her regularly for chronic care and acute injuries alike. She takes a thorough, holistic approach and I’ve found her techniques to really drive lasting improvements.
I immediately felt safe and comfortable with Dr. Lisa. She's incredibly knowledgeable, listens to all my concerns, and makes sure to address everything that's bothering me during the time of our treatment. My body is starting to function as a whole again, the sessions with her are making a huge difference!
What to expect from your first cupping session
New to cupping? Here's the short version. What happens: the practitioner places cups on the skin — most often the back, shoulders, or legs — and creates suction (with a pump, or briefly with a flame for fire cupping). Cups either stay put for a few minutes (dry cupping) or are glided over oiled skin (massage cupping). A session is usually 15–45 minutes, often added to a massage or acupuncture visit. The marks: cupping leaves round, bruise-like circles that are normal and usually fade in a few days to a couple of weeks — they're discoloration from the suction, not an injury, and shouldn't really hurt. What to wear: comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being treated. Afterward: drink water, keep the area warm, and skip intense sun or a hot sauna right after.
