Litchfield Integrative Healing Arts Lisa Avnet LMT

About Lisa Avnet, LMT

The focus of my practice is the relief of musculo-skeletal pain and dysfunction through the practice of the deep muscle and tendon therapy known as Hoshino Therapy.  I completed an extensive hands on apprenticeship in this work with Richard Zukowski, a Hoshino therapy master practitioner and lineage holder, and have maintained a full time clinical practice since 1995.

I received my therapeutic massage education and diploma from the Connecticut Center for Massage Therapy, am Nationally Certified by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork, and am licensed by the state of Connecticut.

Additional education includes graduation from the intensive four year Professional Training Program offered by the Barbara Brennan School of Healing.   I am trained and certified by the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and Pace University as a Health Coach.

Why Hoshino Therapy?   It works!

I love this description of what I do!

•  The hand is our principle tool. With great precision, the hand applies the warmth and pressure necessary to reverse arthrosis in a particular muscle, tendon or ligament.
• Only the warmth of the hand can revitalize and strengthen at the same time.
• Only the hand can sense that is has applied the right amount of pressure.
• Only the hand can sense when the muscle or tendon has been stimulated enough to produce its own heat
