After spending many years in the advertising business- first as a professional photographer's agent, and then as an owner of a national commercial film production company- Lisa decided to switch careers to follow her other passions: skin care, nutrition and health. She has brought it all together in a small, intimate environment where you can find the most up-to-date and professional skin and body care available; along with cutting-edge alternative therapies such as acupuncture, auricular therapy, far infra-red modalities, needle-less acupuncture, and Clear Mind Therapy.
She studied extensively with her mentor, the internationally recognized aesthetician and skin care expert Rhonda Allison, and continues to study and attend seminars on the latest in skin care, nutrition, health and alternative healing modalities. Being self taught in aroma-therapy, Lisa personally blends all the massage creams and oils used at the spa with only the finest organic essential and exotic carrier oils imported from around the world. Her home-made creams, balms, body oils and scrubs are available for purchase at the spa.
