The universe can be characterized as a combination of physical and spiritual worlds. For Tim Lisbon of Nova Alternative Wellness, this is the Yin and Yang. His unique style of therapy allows the Yin of the physical world to meet and find balance with the Yang of spiritual relaxation and healing. Tim Lisbon has provided massage and craniosacral therapies since 1991 and 1998, respectively. A 2nd-degree black belt in Classical Jujitsu, Tim was encouraged by his martial arts instructor to pursue massage. His passion for healing led him on a path rich with exploration and research into the unique ways of the body and mind. In 1993, Tim was among the first groups to receive National Certification in Massage Therapy. Additionally, he was certified as a Chiropractic Assistant for the state of Maryland. For the next ten years, he continued to practice the healing arts as a part-time therapist. During that time, he also achieved his bachelor's degree in health care administration from Columbia Union College. Tim also holds an MS in Information Technology and an MBA in Healthcare Administration. He is pursuing his Ph.D. in Mind-Body Medicine with a specialization in Mindful Leadership in Healthcare at Saybrook University. In 1998, Tim added to his list of modalities, CranioSacral Therapy. CranioSacral Therapy is a physiological process that requires only the lightest touch of the therapist. It focuses on the natural healing powers within the communication pathways of the spine and the mind. CranioSacral Therapy has been used to improve the body's resistance to diseases, including but not limited to autism, migraine headaches, chronic fatigue, and chronic back and neck pain. Tim received his training from the Upledger Institute, founded by John E. Upledger, who pioneered and developed the process. In 2008, Tim had the opportunity and privilege to attend Sylvia Browne's Hypnosis Center with Melissa. They spent 11 fabulous days in training. As a result, Tim is now certified by the National Guild of Hypnotists. Tim loves to use hypnosis to help people reach their full potential. Tim's practical experience in the physical world of modern-day America and his natural gifts and talents as a therapist provides a unique experience for all his clients. He understands the Yin and can quickly offer the Yang to balance, center, and heal those who visit NOVA Alternative Wellness.
