I was unsure about healing after liposuction. And, what I am sure about is that Lisa is a life saver! I felt absolutely amazing after each session with her. I will definitely use Lisa for my next procedure. Next time, I will go to her weeks before my scheduled surgery and have her perform pre operative Manual Lymphatic Drainage to help prepare my body for surgery. The therapy prior to will help excel my post operative healing and I feel good knowing she is local and can support my transformation. I highly recommend her and the many gifts she has to share.
After spending a week in the hospital and another week home ridden and unable to do much on my own I was becoming restless. Something rapidly happened to my body (I went and still am undiagnosed) and in a matter of days (and starting at my feet), I became numb. The neurological sensation affected my body from my feet up to my abdomen as well as my hands. I was unable to walk, write my name or perform a wide range of everyday functions. I was then recommended to Lisa and I sure am glad I saw her. It's a understatement to say she help me regain sensation. At the time I was sleeping about 18 hours a day. After just the first visit I awoke at 3am with a burst of energy. I could feel my circulation slowly coming back to my limbs and my sensations were improving. That trend continued as with each additional visit I felt better and better. Not only did her massages have an instant affect but her knowledge on the body as a whole and how I can improve my condition outside of her office,. Proved to be invaluable. I only had to see her a total of 5 times before I was well enough to return to my house in Jacksonville and look after myself on my own. She was also very personable and a joy to chat with. It has been 8 months since my ordeal started and I am now fully recovered. I wouldn't be where I am today without her assistance and for that I am extremely grateful.
I was referred to Lisa by my plastic surgeon. She was an integral part of my healing after a procedure on my face. The swelling and bruising subsided much faster after her post operative lymphatic draining. What surprised me the most, was when Lisa offered to work on my surgical scar from my tummy tuck I had 5 years prior.. After she worked her MAGIC through her touch, my back didn't hurt for the first time in 5 years. I didn't even tell her my back hurt. Im so very grateful she had the insight to offer her expertise where it was very much needed!!
After being diagnosed with pretty 'severe' Spinal Stenosis, i was recommended by a friend to try LISA's orthobionomy approach. I was skeptical to say the least, having gone through chiropractic, physical rehab, and having seen almost 5 doctors all of whom recommended some type of surgery. I laid down on Lisa's warm table, she did some very gentle body work, talking to me the whole time about what exactly she was doing, I left an hour later, and then somehow magically the pain in my neck, back, and shoulders disappeared. I say magically because it didn't really seem like "much" was going on during our session because Lisa's technique is by far the least stressful 'therapy' i've ever had. I went back a few months later for another session because it seemed like some discomfort was creeping back into the area in my shoulder and it was the same experience, gentle, calming, and effective. Whatever she's doing, she does it extremely well and I'd recommend her to anyone who has run 'out of options'. In fact, I'd suggest you try Lisa FIRST because it's likely you'll discover you don't need anyone else.
I came to Lisa for Lymphatic Massage after I had a sarcoma skin cancer removed from directly below my eye. I was bruised badly, swollen and I could barely see. By the end of our first session, the swelling had subsided because of how Lisa skillfully moved the lymph fluid from my eye area. It was amazing; I didn't have to pick up my droopy eyelid anymore! Improved healing was greatly noticed after my second and third treatment as well and I look forward to more sessions. At first, I was scared to have Lisa touch my incision with my stitches still in. I can tell her therapy work on my scar is healing the tissue and allowing the scar not to be as noticeable. Lisa's expertise after surgery is a must!
After my breast augmentation, I had lymphatic massage and I do not know what I would of done without my massages! My back hurt, my chest hurt, my neck, my everything! Lisa was a Godsend. Every time I left feeling lighter and brighter. I felt like I could move more without the extreme pain. I was not sure about having someone massage my surgery area so soon after surgery, and now I know I would never go through another cosmetic procedure without Lisa. I look better and feel better thanks to her and my tremendous surgeon. Thank you!
Truly a woman for our times, her brilliance, sense of humor, and compassion have inspired many.
I have always eaten very healthy (low sugar and lean diet) and exercised regularly, including major dedication to toning and stretching, and I still could not get rid of the mild (yet totally irritating) cellulite on the back of my legs and behind. And living in Florida, where bathing suits are the go-to attire for the weekends, I was just not OK with how I felt in mine because of that one pesky issue.
I forgot now how I learned about Velashape, but when I first tried it a few years back, it was rather expensive as it was a new technology. It took me awhile to decide to make the investment, but once I finally did, I did not regret it. It works!!!
Lisa was the first person I went to, and the best. The technology does really work, but I believe that it works best when the person you go to really understands the science of it and knows how to maximize the results by having a lot of experience with knowing how to quickly calibrate each person’s skin to the mixture of heat and pressure. I am not sure that just any tech working in a medical office fits that profile.
Since I have relocated across the country, I have tried a couple variations of Velashape that are less expensive, where they combine regular massage and heat, but they were a waste of money. Maybe they work for other people, but not for me. I am currently on the hunt for someone where I live now to go to regularly.
If you have a chance to go to Lisa, I highly recommend you do. You’ll have to be patient through the first few treatments as it takes several before seeing a noticeable difference, but once you get there, you’ll be thrilled and will just be in a maintenance cycle with treatments.
I wish there was a totally permanent cellulite solution, but this is the best thing I’ve found so far. Keep in mind that it is not a replacement for a good diet and regular exercise— you need both of those things in your life to just be healthy, regardless of how effective they are in those trouble areas everyone has. But for those darn genetics that you just can’t fight, Velashape provides the big guns you need! And Lisa is truly the best person I know for the job, both on the technical and personable side. I wish I could clone her!
I was gifted with a massage with Lisa by a parent at my workplace. And it was perfect. Exactly what I needed. I found Lisa to be very skilled, experienced in multiple modalities, intuitive, possessing a wealth of knowledge, and generous in sharing resources. She offers value, and I would be surprised if you weren’t very pleased with your service from Lisa. I recommend her happily.
I’ve known Lisa professionally for about 5 years. Her massages and body treatments are the best I have ever experienced! We used to work together in a Miami plastic surgery practice, and we used to exchange treatments. I am a medical esthetician and Lisa used to be my favorite person to work with and to recommend my patients to. Always very professional, empathetic with patients, a great listener, always on time and a joy to work with! I would like to highly recommend her services. I promise you will not be disappointed!
I began working with Lisa after suffering from a 4 month stint of slipping rib syndrome. I was weak and fearful to resume physical fitness, after having met with a number of health practitioners who felt uncomfortable with the idea of dislocating ribs. Lisa provided me with a safe space to reassess my body's capabilities as a whole, after which she devised a personalized plan for strength building and prevention. I never once felt rushed when in her care and always appreciated her willingness to follow up between sessions with exercise tips and resource referral ideas. Despite having moved out of state, she continues to check in on my progress - I am eternally grateful to have her in my court :)
Lisa has helped me tremendously over the years. I have degenerative arthritic changes in my neck and disc issues in my lower back. I have had massages by many different people but none have helped me nearly as much as Lisa. Not only is she conscientious and dedicated to her profession, she is also kind and pleasant. Lisa has provided pain relief with her skilled hands for me while in Florida, New Jersey, and while traveling across Asia. She is extremely knowledgable in alternative health and is a health and wellness asset to any person desiring to achieve a greater health.
As a marathon runner, I regularly seek massage therapy to treat and prevent the athletic injuries that threaten to keep me from doing what I love. Lisa’s healing touch is like no other I’ve experienced. She draws on a blend of massage and healing touch traditions, pinpointing trouble spots with a touch highly attuned to the body’s energy and movement systems. I have felt results with Lisa that no other therapists have been able to achieve. I gratefully put my healing in her adept hands.
Lisa Jackson has been my massage therapist and personal trainer for many years. During this time, I have had several medical problems, including osteopenia, leg swelling, hip pain, shoulder pain, etc., and she has been invaluable in my treatment. I had a fractured ankle in 2015 and she worked on it until I no longer had any problems with it. In 2016 I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis of my left TMJ. Lisa went with me to my physical therapist appointment and talked to my therapist about different techniques to use in my weekly massage. Since I no longer go to the physical therapist on a regular basis, I depend on Lisa to keep my jaw functioning as well as possible. Since the TMJ situation is not going to improve, I would not be able to function without Lisa working on my jaw, face and neck each week during my massage session. She can do lymph massage, Ortho-bionomy and various other techniques which most massage therapists are not trained to do. She is constantly learning new things so she can help her clients with new techniques that may help them.
Our workout sessions are also important since I have had osteopenia for many years. I have been able to stay in the osteopenia range and not go into the osteoporosis range because she works on exercises that help with my issues. If I am doing an exercise and experience pain, etc. she will change to another exercise or do massage on the particular area that is hurting. It is very rare to have someone who is so knowledgeable about the body and can treat any problem with various techniques. Lisa is also a graduate from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and has been trained in many nutritional theories and has tremendous knowledge about healthy eating.
Lisa is able to train people of all ages and is especially good with older adults who have unique and complex issues. I have worked with other trainers over the years and have often injured myself because the trainer pushed me too hard. Lisa introduces new exercises frequently and constantly asks me how I feel so she can be sure to work within a healthy range. If anything doesn’t feel right she will tweak the exercise or massage out my muscle so that I can perform it without uncomfortable discomfort.
Lisa is a wonderful, warm and thoughtful person who cares deeply about each client and who goes beyond being just a trainer and massage therapist. I am sincere when I say I could not function without her amazing ability to improve issues I have had over the years. When I refer someone to Lisa and tell them how great she is, they are still amazed after seeing her. Every person I have referred to Lisa has thanked me over and over because she has helped them so much.
