LISA LANGLANDS LAc It has always been Lisa’s
dream to help people improve their health and well-being. Following that dream,
Lisa left a career in the office and became a licensed massage therapist in
1998. She then practiced massage in a physical therapy clinic, a chiropractic
practice, and a midwife’s office before earning a 4-year Master’s degree in
Traditional Chinese Medicine and passing the California Acupuncture Licensing Examination.
As a co-founder of Getting the Point Acupuncture she has been practicing at the
Harbor Bay Club in Alameda since 2011. THOMAS SIEMANN LAc Thomas has been interested
in various types of medicine since very early on. He worked as an assistant
nurse at a public hospital while studying in Berlin, and gained an in-depth
knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathology through medical studies in Italy.
While in Italy, he also worked as a private school teacher, and he was the
director of a school in Padova before coming to the US. Thomas has always
acknowledged the importance of Western medicine, but has also felt that there
was more to be gained in the modern approach to the healing arts. The study of
Chinese philosophy and meditation opened he mind to embrace the holistic nature
of Chinese medicine. Thomas graduated from the Academy of Chinese Culture and
Health Science with a Master’s Degree of Science in Traditional Chinese
Medicine (MSTCM) and is licensed to practice in the state of California.
He undertook studies to complete his national certification as a
Diplomate of Acupuncture through NCCAOM and a specialization as an
Acupuncture Detoxification Specialist (ADS). When not treating patients,
Thomas serves as the Dean of Academic Affairs at the Academy of Chinese
Culture and Health Sciences. He continues to perform bio-mechanical testing and
3-D gait analysis, as well as position and motion analysis for cyclists. |
