Welcome…

Since 1992 I have been learning, practicing and integrating a variety of therapies, movement and massage.

After these many years, I am still in awe of the human body and its ability to heal. The simplest hold is enough to bring incredible change when the body is listened to, respected and followed.

In the following pages I have tried to present pertinent information about the forms of bodywork I love and practice. I hope that you will find the information useful. I will keep adding more information here as I find time and inspiration.

So visit again. In the meantime, if you have any comments, questions or suggestions, please write to me at HealthIsOurs@yahoo.com .

Thank you,

Lisa Grimaldi, PA-C, CST, CMT

My massage practice began in the Washington D.C. metro area in 1992. Over the years I studied a variety of therapies around the world. I specialize in osteopathic techniques including craniosacral therapy, lymphatic drainage and visceral manipulation, and became an Upledger Institute certified Craniosacral Therapist (CST).

After 18 years of developing my practice, I returned to graduate school and obtained a Master’s degree in medicine (PA-C) at Cornell Medical School in 2011. Now I enjoy bringing the knowledge from both allopathic and alternative medicine to my practice, to create a unique understanding in health, healing and wellness.
