The roots of Lisa’s approach to wellness and pain management lie in her own personal battle with ulcerative colitis. Unable to manage her illness through conventional medicine, Lisa developed the integrative approach used at Gentle Touch Acupuncture to manage her own disease. She has successfully managed her disease for over a decade using the methods that we employ at Gentle Touch. Her desire to help others achieve their own personal goals for wellness and health using the multi-pronged approach that was so successful for her led her to create her own practice.
Lisa is the proud owner/operator of Gentle Touch Acupuncture and Gentle Touch Physical Therapy. She looks forward to welcoming you to her practice.
