A Real Rawfood Success Story
Lisa holds a Master of Science degree in Recreation Therapy from California State University and an undergraduate degree from Temple University in Pennsylvania.
Her broad professional experience and caring personality has allowed her to touch many lives: She has been involved with the Veterans Administration, Rosewood Gardens Senior Living Center, and Crestwood Behavioral Health. She has worked with aging populations and brain injury patients suffering from Dementia and Alzheimers disease and given them therapy designed to stimulate cognition and sensory integration for those patients with mild to severe cognitive impairment.
