About Our Teachers and Therapists
Our teachers and therapists have been trained in modalities that each include deep spiritual energy healing meditation. Each teacher lives a spiritual lifestyle, spending time everyday in meditation, enabling them to heal their own mind, body and spirit. By bringing the body’s energy back into natural balance, the immune system strengthens allowing the body to
heal itself. With this dedicated lifestyle comes the ability to assist others in healing

Lisa Chapman-Sorci
Founder of Healing Alternatives Meditation Center IMTA Accredited Meditation Teacher
Certified Komyo Reiki Teacher/Therapist
From her great-grandmother to her parents and siblings, Lisa is from a multi-generational family of energy healers and intuitives.
In 1977, she was introduced to Mindfulness Meditation and, through her dedicated practice, came to understand that self realization is the key to being a highly effective energy healer.
Years later her interest was piqued with the Japanese healing system of Reiki. Lisa studied Komyo Reiki Kai (translation: Method of Enlightenment through Spiritual Energy) with the founder, Hyakuten Inamoto (a Japanese Buddhist monk from Kyoto, Japan) and found the blend of Mindfulness Meditation and Reiki was not only a path to healing, but a spiritual path as well.
Lisa holds a Master/Teacher level degree in Usui Reiki (westernized) and in Traditional Japanese Reiki, she is a Certified Komyo Reiki Kai Shihan (teacher).
As a Komyo Reiki Kai teacher, Lisa lives a spiritual lifestyle spending time everyday in deep, energy healing meditation to create peace, health and happiness in her life. With this dedicated lifestyle comes the ability to assist others in healing. This is not only her personal philosophy, but, as the founder and director, it is also the philosophy that she brings to Healing Alternatives Meditation Center.
As an author, speaker, advocate and active volunteer, Lisa is helping to bring Komyo Reiki and meditation to the forefront in her community.
The greatest of Lisa’s credentials is the life of abundant health and happiness that she has created for herself stemming from the years that she has dedicated to turning inward. The insight gained is applied to everyday life and becomes wisdom for her to share with you.
Lisa helps doctors, nurses, therapists, healing practitioners, CEO’s, professional athletes, moms, dads and students to find peace, healing and insight...she can help you too.
