ABOUT PIN & TONIC
Pin and Tonic was founded on the following company principles:- Community Involvement: Pin & Tonic partners with other neighborhood businesses in order to better connect customers to their local economy, as well as continue to work with charities like the Chanda Plan Foundation (a non-profit dedicated to providing alternative health care to individuals with disabilities).
- Unique Customer Experience: From the Herbal Bar in the front of the house to follow up information about specific concerns, customers are given a health experience unlike any they have seen before.
- Education about TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) and Health: Pin & Tonic will offer regular customer information sessions about Chinese Medicine in general as well as seminars on specific issues such as fertility and back pain. Basic straightforward information is available at the herbal bar and on the products that we sell to our customers.
- Accessibility: Pin & Tonic strives to take the mystery out of Chinese Medicine – a beautiful and well-established medical practice. To us, accessibility also means affordability because acupuncture works best when patients can afford to have regular treatments.
Pin & Tonic is focusing on making all of Traditional Chinese Medicine accessible to more people. At Pin & Tonic we provide not only high-quality acupuncture care, but also high quality affordable Chinese herbal formulas made specifically for the individual. Pin & Tonic also provides free classes for patients to get healthy and stay healthy.
Lisa Bullis - M.S (TOM), L.Ac.
Licensed Acupuncturist & Herbalist
Lisa has a Masters of Science degree in Traditional Oriental Medicine. She studied at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in San Diego, California and at the Cheng Du University Hospital in Sichuan, China. Having been practicing since 2003, Lisa is nationally certified by the NCCAOM (National Certification Commission of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine) and fully licensed in the states of Colorado and California.
She has experience treating patients in a variety of settings. Working at Craig Hospital in Denver, the San Diego Hospice, UC San Diego sports medicine clinic, and teaching at CSTCM. She also worked in Australia treating menstrual disorders and fertility concerns, and studied medical Qi Gong in rural China.
When Lisa started practicing she was charging $75 per treatment. Before long she realized that many patients could not afford to receive treatments with the frequency that was necessary to make lasting changes in their health. In 2006 her mom sent an article about Working Class Acupuncture in Portland, Oregon where they were practicing community-style acupuncture. Lisa realized that this was the answer she had been looking for. Within six months Lisa was in Portland attending Working Class Acupuncture's first community-style acupuncture conference.
Lisa co-founded Meeting Point Acupuncture in 2007, which was the first community-style acupuncture center in Denver. She sold her practice in November 2010 and opened Pin & Tonic shortly after.
Having grown up gardening and tincturing herbs with her Grandma Ginny in northern Wisconsin, she is now excited to offer custom herbal formulas as well as personally crafted tinctures and poultices.
Having been in practice since 2003, Lisa has treated a variety of patients. She finds that she gets particularly great results with women's issues, eczema, depression and pain. Since having children, Lisa has been treating more and more kids and finds that they respond very quickly to regular treatment.
When not working Lisa can be found in the backyard gardening with her husband, two young daughters and dog Bella.
