lisa's personal details 

Born in Australia, Lisa has been passionate about skiing since the age of 4 years, when her parents first took her skiing. She later enjoyed a colorful (but chilly) career as a professional skier across hemispheres and continents, finally settling in Verbier. Inspired by her experience of combining nutrition, massages and yoga as a therapeutic tool to improve sports performance, she decided to study natural therapies. Since 1992, Lisa has completed courses of study in Herbal Medicine, Reiki, Reflexology, Sports & Relaxing Massage, Shiatsu, Macrobiotic Nutrition & most recently, trained to teach Yoga.

Lisa opened Ambrosia in 1998 as a health food center offering some therapies, but has since transformed it into a natural therapy & yoga center.

Lisa believes the future of the human race is dependent upon us taking responsibility for our own health and that of our beautiful home planet. With this in mind, she offers the treatments available in Ambrosia as an alternative to mainstream, pharmaceutical medicine, hoping to help point the way for a safer, more peaceful & productive future for all beings on our planet.

She's still a keen skier, refreshing body /mind with days out in the powder between her therapeutic work, occasionally still teaching alpine or telemark technique & putting in the odd appearance for the camera.

In 2008 you can catch up with Lisa in Marrakesh where she is investigating opening a yoga and retreat center. Check out the details for the yoga retreat in Spring. While she is there, she is also available for private yoga and massage appointments. Prices on application.
