Alisa is awesome! She’s a healer, helped consult with my lactation questions, and provided a therapeutic acupuncture service. This was exactly what I was looking for postpartum recovery.

Alisa is so sweet and really took the time to discuss my symptoms and concerns before our first session. She walked me through her process while placing the needles. Our communication was so open, I really appreciated that about her! She even spent time discussing different stretching techniques that my husband could help me do at home to prolong the side effects of the treatment.
I’m 40 weeks pregnant and came to her clinical so that we could initiate labor. The next day, I could feel a difference in my hip mobility and overall mobility. Before seeing her, I was extremely swollen and had difficulty getting up and moving around (despite exercising throughout the pregnancy, drinking plenty of water, eating well, walking, and stretching). My husband commented that I looked like a different person only a few hours after the treatment! The next morning, the swelling in my hands, feet, and legs was completely gone! The carpal tunnel symptoms in my hands had all but diminished as well.
No sign of baby yet, but we are hopeful that it will be soon! We are going to see her again in a few days. Either way, Alisa has literally given me new life. I was so uncomfortable before seeing her, I wondered how I would make it through labor. Now, I feel so rejuvenated and strong. Would highly recommend any treatment from her!

I’ve been a client of Push for about 4 years now and I have nothing but the best things to say. I began with Deb during my first pregnancy (post-miscarriage). I then returned during my second pregnancy under treatment with Alisa and it’s become such an important part of my pregnancy and overall health and well being. From helping me through sicknesses to body pains, to stress relief, to heart burn, to allergies, to literally any ailment that comes along. I even brought my 3 year old daughter in for treatment for things like digestion and strengthening her immune system, and she loved Alisa! Alisa is an angel, brought on by Deb the other angel. Highly recommend!

I have been a client of Alisa for a few years now. She is fantastic! She takes the time to learn what is going on in your life so that she can determine the best treatment plan. She provides recommendations and clearly explains the plan so you can make the best choices. She recently did a treatment that has made me feel the best I have for a long time. Highly recommend! Friendly, professional, and a benefit to self care.

Working with Alisa was such a godsend. When I came in, I had pelvic inflammatory disease caused by my copper IUD. Alisa has a deep knowledge of Chinese medicine and her expertise really shines. Her warm presence and nurturing personality really made me feel prioritized and cared about. I always looked forward to my sessions with her. With her help, I made the decision to remove my IUD and resolved my pelvic inflammatory disease very quickly with her skilled acupuncture, herbal formulation, and vaginal steaming prescriptions. I highly recommend Alisa, especially as a women's reproductive health practitioner.

Alisa is incredible and I wish I found her earlier in my pregnancy! If you are experiencing anything uncomfortable at all, do not hesitate - you DO NOT have to suffer! I found Alisa after trying everything for my pelvic/lower back pain the third trimester. Nothing worked and I could barely walk or get comfortable. Alisa was very attentive and thorough during our first session, really taking time to understand all my symptoms and to validate me. I am pain-free and she's been able to ease all my third trimester symptoms overall, making this period of time most women dread much easier. Since this is my first pregnancy, I feel a bit lost due to the overwhelming amount of information out there. She is gentle, calming, and very supportive as she educates you on things you can do to further help yourself with confidence -- an invaluable tool. I am now doing the birth sessions and I feel confident in my body vs. being terrified about labor and delivery. Overall, I feel so much better physically and mentally than I have most of my pregnancy. I look forward to continuing our partnership for years to come and I am grateful for her guidance, kind spirit, knowledge, and her ability to heal!

It was a huge relief to find a lactation consultant whose values aligned with ours- helping tap into the innate wisdom of the human body. We left Alisa’s visits with new positions and more confidence breastfeeding on our own. Before meeting her we needed 10 pillows and 3 hands for a feed which is a lot for the middle of the night. It was very empowering to be able to breastfeed on my own without a whole intricate set up after meeting with Alisa. Her nutrition advice was also incredibly helpful to make sure that baby was getting the full rich milk and that I could eat Foods that were contributing to my healing versus taking more energy to process. With so much stress, tension, and healing that needed to be done, I also tried pelvic floor steaming and acupuncture for the first time- this was very relaxing and I’m so glad I could do this with Alisa. Her unique combination of bridging eastern and western medicine was such a gift for us to experience for our first baby. Thank you Alisa. -Allie,Adam and Aiden

I enjoyed a wonderful session! Alisa listens attentively, asks poignant questions, and customizes the treatment for what you need that day. I always feel better after a visit.
