Lisa Alvarez, MSOM, L.Ac. - Following the holistic tradition of Oriental Medicine, Lisa’s approach to health and wellness focuses on balancing the body, mind and spirit - often incorporating techniques such as Cupping, Reiki, and Chinese dietary principles in her treatments.
Lisa believes that wellness is rooted not only in the condition of the body, but in the spirit as well. Therefore, it is essential that we become aware of the ways our bodies work so we can learn how to take care of ourselves. The key is a supportive environment. The process is one of shared responsibility between patient and practioner with the ultimate goal of reaching a more balanced state of being.
Lisa received her Masters Degree in Oriental Medicine from the Midwest College of Oriental Medicine in Chicago. She is a national board certified acupuncturist licensed in the state of Illinois and holds a Bachelors degree in Sociology from Beloit College. Lisa continues to study Oriental Medicine and supplemental therapies to enhance the scope of her treatments and offer a wider variety of therapies.
