MEET LISA😍
Originally from Maine, I began as an early childhood educator in New Hampshire. I never imagined the path my life would take after we relocated to Georgia! Pivoted, enrolled in the RN program at Gordon, & earned my license as a RN in 1996. I’ve always felt it was a “gift” given to me, because not everyone has the ability to endure what nursing entails, what healthcare professionals see day in & day out. I learned it was not for the faint of heart to say the least.
I spent 15 years as a critical care/ICU nurse. Trauma, organ transplants, neuro/ICU, cardiovascular ICU, all of it. I wanted to learn it all to be the best nurse I could be, & I gained an IMMENSE sense of fulfillment helping my patients & their families.
In 2014 I changed direction to assist families with medically fragile family members (pediatric & adult) who needed in-healthcare. It was my job to walk them through the state’s processes & advocate for them to secure much needed medical help in the home, keeping them out of the hospital & with their loved ones, a higher quality of life.
From the hospital days to in-home health, I developed close relationships with my families & patients, many of which I still communicate with, & will for life, checking on them & seeing if they need any help or assistance.
I have watched with pride as my daughter (Kim Holbrook) created & opened her own business (Holbrook Holistic Therapy) for the purpose of helping those within our community feel their best selves. When she asked if I would be interested in adding my skills to expand the businesses’s offerings I did not hesitate to say absolutely!
I can assist clients in different ways with my medical trainings & experience (almost 30 years worth) & spend one-on-one time with them in an unhurried, calming environment, something I wasn’t able to do while working in facility environments, & it has ignited a new passion & love within I didn’t realize I was missing & needed. I specialize is Manual Lymphatic Drainage, therapeutic bodywork, post-op care, wound care, disease management, & education on a range of topics to help you feel your best & keep dis-ease at bay. I can’t wait to meet & work with you!
