LAc. Lisa Casamento
About Lisa
Lisa began her career as a Registered Nurse in 2013, working for many years in Melbourne's major public hospitals. After witnessing the limits of what Western medical systems can offer, she felt drawn toward more holistic and traditional methods of care. This led her to pursue Traditional Chinese Medicine, and in 2022 she completed a Master of Health Science with a specialisation in acupuncture at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Melbourne, Australia.
In 2024, Lisa moved to Taiwan, where she immersed herself in Mandarin language studies and continued to deepen her understanding of Chinese medicine through additional local training.
Lisa’s Resident Offerings at Silver Root Apothecary
Weekend TCM classes: food therapy, Gua Sha, haircare + more. Please check our Workshop & Events page for up coming dates.
Private acupuncture (by appointment): pain conditions, headaches, fertility support, smoking cessation, weight loss, insomnia, stress, anxiety and more. To up level your treatment, add on cosmetic acupuncture or fire cupping. Consult begins with an in depth conversation, a pre questionnaire will also be sent to you to be completed prior to your treatment time, to ensure maximum resting time. It takes 15 minutes for Qi to circulate through our body, so you will be left to enjoy 30 minutes of pure enjoyment.
Each session is an hour duration.
Private Cupping (by appointment): a treatment modality used for muscular tightness and stiffness, but also relaxation and stress reduction.
Community acupuncture (by appointment): experience body acupuncture or cosmetic acupuncture around a shared table and enjoy a tea at the same time. This is great if you are shorter on time, would like an introductory to acupuncture, gentler support or more regular treatments at an affordable price. A pre questionnaire will be sent to you to be completed prior to your appointment. Receive support for cold and flu symptoms, smoking cessation, stress, anxiety and more.
Each session is 30 minutes in duration : Available from Wednesday to Sunday 2–5pm
Community ear acupuncture (by appointment): the ear in Chinese medicine is viewed as a microcosm of the whole body meaning we can only use the ear to treat all health conditions. This is a stronger treatment than ear seeding. A pre questionnaire will be sent to you to be completed prior to your appointment. Experienced around a shared table, whilst enjoying a herbal tea at the same time.
Each session is 30 minutes in duration : Available from Wednesday to Sunday 2–5pm
