A former elite triathlete who suffered from muscle fatigue, tissue damage and stress, Lisa Saylan personally experienced the benefits of massage and other healing modalities during her competitive years, and while recuperating from a significant cycling accident. She learned first-hand the human body is capable of healing itself when balanced, relaxed and properly nourished; massage and energetic therapy such as Reiki contributed to her complete and speedy recovery.
Inspired by the impact these rejuvenating and healing therapies had on her life, combined with a desire to help others Lisa left her professional field and became a Certified Usui and Karuna Reiki® Master/Teacher, Licensed Massage Therapist, Certified Reflexologist, Intuitive, Spiritual Coach and Certified Yoga Instructor. Through the various healing modalities she offers, Lisa assists others in reducing stress and improving their overall health and well-being.
In addition to having a private practice, Lisa teaches Reiki classes at Soul to Soul® where she has trained practitioners for over 15 years. She formerly taught Reiki, Reflexology and Massage at the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts (SWIHA) in Arizona for 8 years. Lisa also taught Reiki to health care providers at Banner MD Anderson in Arizona and Banner Gateway Medical Center. She is approved by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB) as a Continuing Education Approved Provider for both Massage & Reiki, and formerly provided continuing education credits for Nurses nationwide via the American Holistic Nurses Association (AHNA).
Lisa strongly believes in the practice of giving back to the community. She has volunteered as a Reiki Practitioner at the Arizona State Veteran’s Home in Phoenix, Phoenix Children’s Hospital, and for various fund-raisers.
