Since childhood, Chinese medicine has been a steady presence in Alisa’s life. Her earliest memory of it dates back to grade school, when she sprained her finger playing basketball. With a swollen, painful finger that wouldn’t bend, she returned home, where her grandmother applied an herbal liniment made by her grandfather from dried plants. To her amazement, the next morning her finger felt completely healed, as if nothing had happened. That experience sparked a deep fascination with alternative medicine that would stay with her throughout her life.

​

Alisa’s true passion for Chinese medicine blossomed in her mid-20s, when she was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It was then that she discovered the remarkable healing power of Chinese medicine in managing her symptoms and supporting her overall health. Her personal experience with PCOS ignited a profound interest in women’s health at every stage of life.

 

Today, she specializes in reproductive health, PCOS, pregnancy and postpartum support, PMS, pain management, insomnia, digestive issues, mental health, and stress.

Alisa earned her Master’s degree in Acupuncture and Master’s in Chinese Herbal Medicine from Southwest Acupuncture College in Boulder, Colorado. She is a nationally board-certified Diplomate of Oriental Medicine through the NCCAOM and is licensed in the state of Colorado. Her extensive education includes over 3,000 hours of classroom instruction and 1,100 hours of clinical practice, covering acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, auriculotherapy, gua sha, tuina, facial rejuvenation, nutrition, and herbal medicine.

​

As a practitioner, Alisa is deeply committed to providing care that is individualized and rooted in compassion, professionalism, and gentleness. She takes great pride in helping her patients recognize the incredible healing potential of their own bodies and supporting them on their path to wellness.
