“There are “healers” who have a gift, and then there are simply practitioners. Lisa is clearly among the former – being truly gifted. When I refer people to her I always make that clear.”

Hi Lisa,
You are awesome! The exercises and moves you choose for yesterday’s class completely solved my shoulder issues!! It’s been hurting for over 2 weeks and now I have complete range of motion. Mahalo for being so perceptive, caring and for sharing your mana`o (knowledge)!

I was wounded in France in Sept. 1944 (WWII) and have experienced stiffness and limitation in my shoulder ever since. After one 30 min. session with Lisa the 52 years of stiffness was removed and I could fully lift my arm up overhead. Lisa performed the miracle and I am very happy and thankful.

Lisa Cary is one of the best movement educators I have ever had the privilage knowing. Lisa’s teaching is concise, thorough, well planned and beautifully embodied!! Her work is simultaneously stimulating, safe and encouraging! She is a first rate practitioner who knows her material inside and out. Her mastery allows her to teach in a confident and calm manner while being available and attentive to her students and her clients process. I could not rate her skills more highly. In my view, she is an excellent holistic practitioner and her integrity shines though in all her offerings.
With much aloha and gratitude

For over 10 years Lisa Cary has been part of a part of a team of healers who took me from bedridden after 2 spine surgeries in 2005, with heavy nerve pains & disability, plus a divorce, to working at a 5 star hotel’s art program. Though it took 2 – 3 years, it was truly a miracle for me to stand, sit, walk, & finally drive again. Movement is LIFE, so this work took me from feeling drained of hope, to wanting to live again. Since then, I continue to work with Lisa & she has been doing remarkably transformational work on identifying & clearing inner beliefs that no longer serve me & seem “stuck in the body”. I believed at first that the work was too woowoo for me, but more & more found that the issues we are clearing have everything to do with chronic pain, as well as my perspective on life, so it is crucial for me to clear the impediments to my living a physically, mentally, & spiritually optimum life. Lisa is an intuitive, excellent Somatics practitioner, but even more, a deep healer of inner life. I’m profoundly grateful to all the learning & clearing she’s done on herself, & with other masters, to refine her own journey so she can be present & intuitive with us. Her classes & retreats are an excellent way to access her talents as well.

I have lived daily with low back pain since an injury in 2007. Let me be clear, daily.low.back.pain. I worked with medical doctors, physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments, muscle relaxers, yoga, and massage therapy over the past eight years. I was able to achieve some level of relief at times. But I was never pain free in a 24 hour period. Then I met Lisa and took a core workshop with her. After one class, one 90 minute class, I am pain free for the first time in eight years. That was February 27, 2015. Awesome! (6 months later….) Hi, Lisa. After six months, I am still pain free in my lower back! Unbelievable!

I was waiting a couple of days to give you some feedback. What happened last Tuesday was unbelievable! My shoulder got 90% better and my lower back is pain free. Later that evening when I was raising my arm it felt like it was gonna fly off like an helium balloon, it was so light.
And my lower back…. I just did the raising of the hips right and then left and it is even and pain free. I know my shoulder is not 100% but what a difference. I am being very careful to move it the right way and not jam it back to where it was. I was home cleaning all day and it was 90% pain free. It is amazing. I am looking forward to Tuesday and Wednesday.
Thank you so much.

I am AMAZED at what your classes are doing to my body. I was hoping to be better but I never ever imagined it would restructure my body like it does. I have xrays (taken in 2011) of my neck. I have a military neck, even worse, the curve is going forward. Looking up was painful, turning the head was noisy and painful….
The other day, my husband is looking at my neck and he said he could tell my neck has a regular curve now! When I run on the beach it so much smoother, I don’t feel the bone to bone banging! He said my overall is a lot better.
From one day to another I can tell how my body is getting better. The last two classes focused on neck and upper body were amazing. I haven’t met one person yet who knows what Somatics is! It is surprising that this method is not more popular since it actually works, is effortless, painless and can be practiced at home! I told my son about it and to tell all his friends.
Valerie
Hi Lisa,
I just wanted to drop you a quick line to compliment you once more on your class. I greatly appreciate how you captured what is really important and arranged in a logical and practical way. It really was excellent. You are very gifted in how you see the body and clarify movement. If you are ever interested in training teachers please keep me in mind.
Grace and Peace,
Sue
Dear Lisa,
My knee is definitely much better today after the somatics class yesterday. Thank you so much, just when I was losing hope. I sure wish I had a CD of yesterdays exercises!
Mahalo nui loa again!

Private Session Testimonials
Hi Lisa,
I spoke to my stepmom, Barb, yesterday and she wanted me to tell you how much better her back is since she worked with you in February. She said it is the best it has been in her whole life. Just wanted to pass it on.
Blessings,
Beth Daniel
Hello Lisa, I wanted to let you know how thrilled I am with with the results of your help on Wednesday. My chronically stiff neck has much more range of motion and I feel 95% pain free for the first time in over 7 months! I am so impressed and delighted. I am faithfully doing my exercises morning and evening and listening to Thomas Hanna’s CD’s when I get a moment. A big mahalo from the bottom of my heart. Aloha.

I spent last year healing myself from a car accident where I broke my T9 the vertebrae behind my heart. I only found Lisa Cary and Somatics a month and 3weeks after the accident. I spent that time going to different Chiropractors. I was in so much pain all the time Physiotherapy was too much for me causing even more pain. I was too sensitive for the pain killer prescribed by the doctor. They made feel noxious and in another world. I was mostly in bed and if was hungry only had a few minutes window of opportunity to go to the fridge, grab an apple and go back to bed. I finally was referred to Lisa Cary. After that first session with Lisa I knew that I wouldn’t be in bed forever as I have feared.
I left that first session feeling less pain and confident that with work and dedication I would be able to manage the difficult situation and be healthy again. I am thankful to Lisa’s dedication, attention and expertise. I am grateful to Thomas Hanna for bringing to us such a great “gift”. To learn the simple movements and perform them with no effort, slowly, without forcing anything,paying attention. These movements are magic they make the pain go away and enhance body awareness. Simple movements that bring insight to the mind reminding it how to have better function. The body changes, the posture is better you know your body better. Somatics is Neuromuscular Reeducation in its best. Thank you.

Lisa Delivers! Her work is Amazing!
While living on Maui, meeting Lisa Cary was monumental in my life. The work she does is Awesome. She has inspired me to keep going with developing myself professionally. I had many breakthroughs while working with her.
• Greater shoulder mobility
• More freedom in my hips
• Practical Biomechanics
• Deeper understanding of the feet and ankles
• A Life long routine for lower back pain
She has assisted me in deepening my study of functional anatomy especially as it applies to getting the most out of my body in sports and fitness. Anyone who has the good fortune to receive body work from her or take one of her classes should do so because you will be absolutely surprised and pleased. Her skill and perception is sharp and enormous. Every session I had with her was a luxury. I felt so alive, light and refreshed. If you are seeking someone to take the healing journey with you, Lisa would be my absolute recommendation. Her work is unparalleled and life changing. Thanks Lisa.
Coach Selby – StretchExpert
Working with Lisa both in private sessions and Somatics classes has been an absolute GIFT!
I had the good fortune to discover her following a car accident, at a time in my life when I had already been working to heal a major injury. She brought light to my whole process and taught me not one but MANY practices that completely transformed my approach to healing my body.
I continue to use several of her recommendations on a daily basis, including postural suggestions and pain-relieving techniques. And I have been so blown away by the introduction I received to Somatics through Lisa that I have decided to enroll in a program of study to master the practice.
For all those who are blessed to come into contact with Lisa on Maui, Do Not Miss the opportunity to work with her and walk away with new insights about how to feel good in your body.
In gratitude,
Tanya Parker
Lisa is one of the most educated and experienced Bodyworkers I have had the pleasure to care for me. She has many years of training and also stays current in her field which is vast. I believe bottom line she is not only incredibly intelligent in her practice yet she is most certainly gifted..No matter what your injury she can help you in your recovery with hands on work and also as a teacher she will help you recognize and learn to care for yourself.
Juli Vannosdale

Hi Lisa,
I just wanted to thank you again for an excellent session yesterday. My back is much better. I am wearing the belt, and practicing hip hinges and core strengthening.
I can’t tell you how much I admire you for all you have learned and how you continue to learn, and to use that knowledge to help and teach others!
Thanks again, as always,
Susan
Hi Lisa,
My session with you was really helpful. Everything seems to be working better and I am much more aware of what is going on. I’ve been doing the shoulder movements that you taught me. My posture is much better, my walking is more fluid and my neck is not bothering me.
Aloha, Marge

To fellow travelers on your healing journey,
I originally sought out Lisa’s somatic release work for my knee replacement. I was having difficulty with the “voice of the saboteur” to stay on track with my diet and exercise program.
We decided to do some RTT hypnotherapy. Lisa asked me to be very specific about my goals, the timeline and the implementation.
She created a 15-minute session tape that I could listen to every day for 21 days and to talk to my subconscious during the day. I was able to stay on track with my exercise program and accomplish my 1000-meter swim challenge exactly on my 70th birthday as we had outlined in the session tape. The work supported my focus, the constant barrage of the “saboteur” and gave me a wonderful feeling of accomplishment.
I can highly recommend her work.
Martha Ingalls
Being able to listen to your calm, soothing voice each night has been a really key piece to me remaining steady throughout this big life transition.Your tape reminds me of what I desire, deserve and am worthy of having in my life. Anything less is not of interest to me. There is a freedom in expressing my needs, wants, preferences and having others welcome the information, appreciate it and even seek it out from me.
I am beginning to feel like I can find a really nice place here and be happy and fulfilled. So far this transition has been quite smooth for me and I am rather amazed, given the scope of the changes I have set in motion.
Roxanne Merino
Healing through the RTT session with Lisa has set me on a more positive and fulfilling path of life. Before the session I dealt with uncontrolled anxiety and depression that stemmed from deep rooted trauma and a lack of peace within myself. Now, I feel like myself more than I have in years. I am able to look back on past events with resolution and peace, and I feel as though I know myself so much better for it. I have also discovered confidence when interacting with others, and a confidence that I am able to handle whatever life sends my way. I cannot thank Lisa enough for helping me in ways that other therapists were unable to and giving me a stronger sense of purpose in life.
Frances Bukovsky
I am doing so great. The work is amazing. I love listening to my meditation. I had the fortune lately of working with Lisa Cary and her RTT Hypnotherapy. Having known her for 20 years and going to her for body work for years I knew if she believed in this work then I was also going to believe and trust in her 100%. I felt very comfortable sharing with her my deepest fears and pain before getting on the table. Then when I was on the table it was easy to let go and go on the journey with her. Having done Hypnotherapy before w 3 different people I can confidently say this session was far exceeding any experience and results I have had before.
I went into the session w a blanket of hopelessness and despair, a very dark place. When I stood up off the table my body and soul was bathed with one thing, possibility! A night and day sensation. Literally I walked out of her office lit up and excited about life (this had been a distant feeling of late) I have so enjoyed doing my 21 days of the customized meditation she made for me. I can honestly say the one session of work went so deep to the root of my fears and was able to, with awareness, make a lasting change. Life feels very different and I am so very grateful for Lisa’s commitment to supporting people in the healing process.
Jenn Wakefield
I have suffered from self-doubt and all my life. My RTT session with Lisa was wonderful and very insightful. She is wise, very skilled, compassionate and knowledgeable. I left with more clarity, compassion and love for myself. I would highly recommend Lisa.
Katherine Ryan, New Zealand
I have had wonderful bodywork from Lisa Cary for many years, but recently I experienced a RTT hypnotherapy session with her and got great results. I am 77 and recently was diagnosed with a spinal condition in which my L4 vertebra was almost a centimeter forward of my L5 vertebra, which made walking and exercising difficult, something that was very frustrating for me. I was doing physical therapy, which helped some, but it was only when I did my RTT session and listened to the recording for the prescribed 21 days that I started to see marked improvement in my condition.
I think that a therapy is only as good as the person who performs it, and I find that Lisa is exceptionally gifted in doing RTT. Her work is inspired, and inspiring and she has embodied this therapy and made it her own. It has been of invaluable help to me.
