Elie Cole

LAc, Chinese Herbal Therapist

Co-owner of Cypress Beauty & Wellness

Elie Cole started off as a massage therapist in 1999. While she loved giving massages, she began to feel limited by how much she could help her clients. With back pain or neck pain, she could successfully use her massage skills, but when her clients started coming to her for things like digestive issues, depression, anxiety, or menstrual symptoms, she began referring her clients to an acupuncturist. Elie began to realize that she could become that acupuncturist herself and continue to help her clients. She is still a massage therapist, but is also a licensed acupuncturist, a board certified Chinese herbalist and a food therapist. She has owned Nourishing Medicine since 2007 and is now co-owner with Nancy Lisac, of Cypress Beauty & Wellness. Elie loves going to work every day!

Nancy Lisac

Licensed Esthetician, Esthetic Educator

Co-owner of Cypress Beauty & Wellness

Nancy opened Cypress Day Spa in 2004. A life long interest in holistic well-being and a 20 year career in the natural foods industry led to the manifestation of her dream to open a day spa that offers the best of traditional healing modalities as well as skin care treatments with the latest in proven technology. Her partnership with Elie Cole in 2010 opened the door to the actualization of a more complete wellness center. The recent move to a beautifully remodeled space right across the street has provided the opportunity to offer a wider selection of services as well as a classroom featuring workshops and seminars that support health and well-being.

Nancy specializes in non-invasive, age-defying facial treatments, Dadashie acne treatments and therapies that contribute to restoring and balancing the skin's health. She also offers skin care products that combine the latest in effective ingredients without parabens, unnecessary perfumes and allergens. Comfortable waxing services are her specialty!

Chung So

Educator & Body Adept

Founder of Qunem-Bodywork

Former Faculty at Willamette University, OCOM, MIIS (Ret.), Oregon State Board LMT

Someone told me after illness had taken me from one specialist to another, "Find the answer yourself!" So, I branched off from college teaching to health practices. Now, 30 years later, I work by the Qunem motto: Your body has a story to tell. If it's a tale of woe, rewrite it!

My clients find restfulness in the comfort and joy of feeling in balance. I encourage clients to explore the depth of their body's potentials and to learn about: Thomas Hanna's Somatics, Milton Trager's approach, Tuina, Shiatsu, JinShindo, sports massage, Thai Massage, Myofascial Release (MFR), athletics, yoga, t'aichi, Feldenkrais, Breema, and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF, my personal favorite)... The names are many, but the objective is a body free from restrictions. I'm always told at the end of my sessions: What a difference this massage made!

Danielle Lombardi

Licensed Acupuncturist, Chinese herbalist

Associate Acupuncturist at Nourishing Medicine

After sustaining a back injury that greatly restricted her movement, Danielle received acupuncture treatment and Qi Gong instruction, which proved to be a profoundly transformative process. Her back pain resolved, but the greatest change was in her discovery of the connection between her mind and body. Danielle’s specialties include women’s health, chronic pain, sports and auto injury, and support for the healing process around major life transitions, stress, trauma and PTSD.
