Ventral hernia: I am very pleased to report that my hernia has been completely stable for almost one year without surgery. It no longer aches, and I do not feel the overwhelming fatigue that I did initially. It still bulges by the end of the day, but nowhere near as much as it used to and not at all at other times. I have been able to lift, swim, kayak and work without any difficulty at all related to the hernia. I am thrilled I did not need to undergo another debilitating surgery.

Gastroparesis: I have seen Lisa for several months and over a dozen sessions. I’m receiving treatment for the symptoms of Gastroparesis (stomach paralysis). I wish more people would consider acupuncture for this condition! It’s been studied quite a bit now, and acupuncture shows a strong correlation with symptom relief, including nausea and gastric pain.
I experience substantial relief from Lisa's treatments and I can’t say enough positive things about her practice. I have seen Lisa during two gastroparesis flare-ups and both times, the acute attack resolved within minutes to hours. (After more than a week of suffering!). Additionally, often during my treatments, my stomach will growl! I know that doesn’t sound like much, but to any GP'er, its music to our ears. My stomach feels so much better after a session the effects feel very much cumulative, so that I have fewer problems on a day-to-day basis with GP than before I started seeing Lisa for acupuncture treatments.

Long History, Chronic Stomach Issues and Headaches: Over the last 10 years I have been dealing with ongoing stomach issues as well as fairly regular headaches. There would be periods of time where I would get at least one to two headaches per week and would often get stomach pains from eating certain foods and felt like I couldn't digest well overall.
Lisa was able to immediately understand the root causes of both my stomach issues and headaches. With treatment over time the number of headaches I now get has decreased significantly, where I get an average of maybe one per month. My stomach is also much better. Normal foods do not bother me like they used to, and I find that I am able to enjoy and digest wholesome meals in a new way.
I love and really believe in Lisa's holistic approach to treating the body and understanding just how connected it all is.
I very highly recommend Lisa's practice.

IBS: I’ve been suffering from severe IBS symptoms for the last year and a half, and acupuncture sessions with Lisa have been the ONLY thing that provide both immediate relief and sustained improvement.
I highly recommend her!
