to move people towards accepting their body by recovering from unrealistic
expectations, perfectionism, and body-hatred.

techniques to help assist people in attaining and maintaining their health and
recovery. Without an adequate nutrient supply, a person may experience
depression and anxiety, low energy, brain fog and memory loss, which are major
obstacles to healing. Therefore, Lisa helps clients re-establish good eating
habits and heal their relationship with food. Also, she utilizes cutting-edge
laboratory tests to assess health status. These include neurotransmitter
status, vitamin/mineral deficiencies, lipoprotein particle profile, delayed
food hypersensitivity and fatty acid ratios.
