Lisa Brent has been practicing medicine as a naturopathic doctor and an acupuncturist for the past 10 years. During that time she has relocated to new cities four times, become a mother to three lovely and "spirited" children and, in spite of it all and to her great surprise, she has continued to fall more deeply in love with her husband.  Lisa finally landed in beautiful Marin County, California and, more specifically, into the open arms of the Owning Pink community.  She recently moved her practice (hopefully for the last time) into the new Owning Pink Center, where, along with Lissa Rankin, she practices holistic gynecology and primary naturopathic medicine for women in all stages of their reproductive lives. (She treats men, too!)

Her passion for natural medicine stems from her desire to seek the deepest truth in every aspect of living. Lisa believes the body's most natural state is one in which all systems are functioning in a state of balance. In her view, the symptoms that her patients describe are compelling clues that can lead to the rediscovery of this balance. She loves the mystery inherent in the practice of medicine.

A self-described cyber-cynic, Lisa was reluctant to even utter the word "blog" until her curiosity finally propelled her into posting on the Mommies with Mojo forum at owningpink.com. That experience was so positive that now she looks back on her reticence as if it was in the dark ages. She now says "blog" several times a day--sometimes for no apparent reason. Lisa feels honored to be part of such a supportive, generous and honest group of people who offer so many diverse points of view.
