Skilled Treatments & Training with Lisa J. Berger, Acupuncture & Zero Balancing

Lisa's Orientation

Lisa’s work has evolved through a combination of inner practices, experiences with her clients and ongoing continuing education and self-directed study.

Lisa believes that:

  • Human beings are built to self-regulate and heal.
  • Held information related to health concerns may be revealed by feeling qualities of energy in layers of body tissue and energy fields surrounding the body.
  • Restoring the flow of energy through an area can have wide-reaching beneficial effects.
  • By accessing information stored in our body tissues, we reconnect  with being whole and can digest and release those life experiences that have been “stuck on hold.”
