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 Reiki Master-Teacher, Licensed Massage Therapist, Certified Reflexologist, Spiritual Coach, Certified Yoga Instructor and Yoga Nidra facilitator, all with a Christian base. 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 private group Reiki classes at Soul to Soul® where she has trained practitioners for over 17 years. She formerly taught Reiki, Reflexology and Massage at the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts in Arizona for over 8 years as well as Reiki to health care providers at Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center and Banner Gateway Medical Center, also in Arizona.
Lisa strongly believes in the practice of giving back to the community. She previously volunteered as a Reiki Practitioner at the Arizona State Veteran’s Home in Phoenix & Phoenix Children’s Hospital. These days you can find Lisa giving her time and energy to 19 donkey rescues at Dahlonega Healing Herds Donkey Sanctuary.
