Suffice it to say Dr. Lissa Rankin is not your typical doctor.  

For eight years, she practiced as a full time OB/GYN at a busy managed care practice where she was expected to see 40 patients/day. She was so unhappy with practicing medicine this way that she quit her job and spent two years painting, writing books, founding OwningPink.com, and being with her daughter.  What she realized is that you can quit your job, but you can't quit your calling, and she was called from an early age to be a healer and serve women. She decided to come back to the practice of medicine, but only on her terms.  She promised herself she would only see as many patients as she could hold in her heart. She would view each woman as a whole, radiant being, just waiting to be uncovered, rather than a broken being, waiting to be fixed.

Her practice combines the best of evidence-based Western medicine with holistic, natural, and complementary approaches to healing. At the root of her philosophy is the belief that we already have within us all that we need to have all that we want- including optimal health and vitality.  While some integrative medicine doctors merely substitute a plethora of supplements for pharmaceutical drugs without addressing the underlying issues that can cause you to lose your mojo, Dr. Rankin gets to the heart of what's beneath the symptoms her clients experience.  She employs the use of supplements, traditional pharmaceuticals, counseling, coaching, the Owning Pink philosophy, and other modalities to help heal the body, mind, and spirit.  

Dr. Rankin enjoys working as part of a team at what she and Balance Restored founder Susan Fox call "the knights at the healing round table."  Dr. Rankin appreciates the collaboration of acupuncturists, nutritionists, therapists, life coaches, physical therapists, energy healers, massage therapists, chiropractors, and other physicians, as well as a variety of other healing professionals. Featured prominently at the healing round table is YOU. Dr. Rankin believes you are an equal partner in your own healing journey, and she values your intuition, your feedback, your beliefs, and the active role you will play in achieving optimal vitality.
