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.

Elbow, knee, back pain & kidney stones: Lisa has treated me for multiple pain issues in my elbow, knee, groin, and back over the last few months. After remarkably few treatments focused on each site, the pains that I have had (in some cases for several years) are now gone. I have been amazed to learn that I didn’t need to live with aches and pains, and that they could be relieved without resorting to drugs.
For the past several years I have also suffered from several cases of kidney stones, and Lisa has treated me for that too. I have had significant relief in that area also, with positive results from my last imaging study.
I feel Lisa is an exceptionally talented acupuncture practitioner who is able to effectively treat a wide variety of issues, and have had real success under her care. I can very highly recommend both her practice and her care.

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!
