What our clients have to say about Healing Foundations
- I'm so happy I decided to come in. My back is healing so much faster this time around and I felt such a mental release from my acupuncture! I've been talking about it to everyone.

- Rebecca has been my trusted practitioner for the past 2 years. The success in treating common ailments like the Flu, back pain, sleeplessness - and those more intimate and intricate like fertility - have encouraged me to pursue a holistic approach to health as my body is learning to heal itself. I feel stronger, more energized, and balanced than every before due to Rebecca's treatments. She is incredibly knowledgable, endlessly curious, and genuinely nurturing. Her efforts - and the results - far exceed and outlast those I've experienced through western medicine channels.

- It's a joy to find a healthcare professional who not only provides healing treatments, but helps one understand the body when illness puts it under stress, or out of balance.Lisa Alvarez is just that kind of professional—one who treats the whole patient, not simply a random ailment or two.Through her vast knowledge, I've gained an understanding and respect for traditional Chinese medicine's approach to mind, body, and spirit wellness.Our work together includes a broad range of health issues; from gastrointestinal, to respiratory, sinusitis, to bladder problems—all of which, I'm happy to report are under control.Lisa is that rare person—a practitioner, consultant, and educator. Thank you, Lisa, for all your help and healing ways. - Phyllis S.
- Healing Foundations is a beautiful space. Be it a treatment or a networking event, I always leave feeling soothed and relaxed.
I've seen Rebecca several times for pain management acupuncture treatments for bursitis and most recently for pneumonia. Rebecca is very thorough in the information that she provides. As the treatment progressed, she explained what she was doing at each step. She went on to describe how certain parts of your body can be massaged or treated to assist in helping other parts of your body. After 2 treatments, congestion from the pneumonia started to break up and things began moving again. As for the bursitis, I continue to use a combination of treatments that Rebecca recommends to resolve this pain.
I've also seen Chisato several times for an acupressure massage. I have a very hard time relaxing, but somehow the music that she plays and the treatment that she provides nearly put me to sleep. I feel amazing, like things are flowing again after treatment. Chisato has a knack for listening and hitting just the right spot every time. Along with Rebecca, I'll continue to see Chisato for rotator cuff pain and paraformis inflammation.
Thank you Healing Foundations.

- First, about the location. Healing Foundations is a wonderful new facility. The atmosphere is comfortable and calming. It's a great environment for body and soul.
Second, about the therapist. I saw Lisa for pain management acupuncture treatment prior to surgery for a torn rotator cuff tendon. Lisa is a great caregiver. She is thoroughly knowledgeable about her craft. Before treatment we discussed my symptoms; she did a great job of focusing our discussion on the specifics. During the treatments she constantly solicited my feedback to gauge progress. She is calm, confident, focused, caring, and patient. Very professional.
Finally, most importantly, about the results. Short answer: fantastic. Long answer: the pain mitigation was both instant and to a greater degree than I experienced from OTC painkillers. Further, the range of motion in my shoulder without discomfort went from very limited to nearly unlimited. And both effects lasted days after the treatment. It was the feedback discussions that really made a difference - as the treatment progressed the effects went from good, to better and better, until we reached best.
I know it sounds like I'm gushing but this was a remarkable experience. Prior to this I had limited exposure to, and retained some skepticism about the benefits of acupuncture. No more. In the hands of an experienced practitioner there is no doubt about the therapeutic benefits. Thanks Lisa and thanks Healing Foundations!

- At first, I thought I was just having pleasant and unusually thorough conversations with a warm and caring person. By the third session, I realized they were essential to my treatment.
- They made me feel comfortable enough to try acupuncture. Now it's a regular part of my healthcare routine.
- I'm better at my job. I sleep better. I've learned how to manage stress and stop my pain.
