Lisa Mendoza Beaury, Holistic Clinician, is the newest practitioner to be added to the staff at Healing Alternatives. She’s a Licensed Massage Therapist by trade, but her function at Healing Alternatives will be to assist Dr. Johnston, DOM, with all clients receiving Bio-Energetic Feedback, muscle testing, client intakes and blood work or saliva testing. She is available for support and information to all clients.

A client of Dr. Donna Johnston, DOM, since childhood, Lisa has been bought up around natural healing modalities for as long as she can remember. Turning to herbs, homeopathic remedies, and energy work first is a way of life for her. Her first memory of a homeopathic doctor is from a young age when a sibling continually had ear infections and had been prescribed a surgical procedure for tubes in his ears. In an effort to make sure that didn’t happen, her mother found a Naturopathic Doctor who used muscle testing and kinesiology to determine that it was simply a food allergy that was causing the earaches. Since then, she and her family have been devoted to looking at health and wellness from a holistic point of view. It’s important to remember, just because your ears hurt, doesn’t mean the root of the problem is in your ears. A dedicated and passionate believer in natural and energetic healing modalities, Lisa is excited to be a part of the team at Healing Alternatives.

Lisa also has a Bachelors of Science from the University of Florida in Advertising/English and spent many years doing marketing strategy and research. As Healing Alternatives continues to grow and expand, Lisa will head up efforts to reach as many people as possible with the message and mission of this practice.
