About Lisa
With a background in "hard" science, I have the ability to problem solve and approach massage therapy with anatomy and function in mind. Being both right and left brained, my analytical technqiues are tempered with intuitive touch. I do my best to "listen" to your tissue to help find the technique that will work best for you, on that day, to help your tension unfurl and help your body rest in its natural alignment.
