Lisa Mussak
Lisa is a highly specialized Classical Chinese Medicine practitioner with nearly two decades of experience dedicated to reproductive health, prenatal care, and postpartum support. After graduating with a Master of Science from MCOM in 2007, she completed an advanced outpatient hospital internship in Beijing, China.
As one of only five acupuncturists in the state to hold specialty board certification through the Acupuncture and TCM Board of Reproductive Medicine (ABORM), Lisa bridges the gap between Eastern and Western medical care. She deeply values collaborative care and frequently coordinates with Western fertility specialists and other healthcare professionals to ensure her patients receive well-rounded, seamless treatment.
Lisa is committed to advanced clinical excellence, completing over 100 hours of continuing education each year—including advanced graduate mentorships with Sharon Weizenbaum and the White Pine Institute. Her holistic treatments combine acupuncture and classical herbal formulas, with a specialized focus on the safe use of herbal medicine during pregnancy and lactation.
Lisa’s ultimate goal is to provide the resources and preparation that guide patients toward a healthy, empowered, and joyful transition into parenthood.

“When I was prepping to start IVF, my fertility clinic suggested acupuncture and referred me to Orchid. I started seeing Lisa once a week and continued through my egg retrieval, transfer and am now pregnant. I can’t imagine having gone through this without her. Beyond the physical benefits I felt from my sessions, Lisa was a huge support, educating me along the way and helping me with a lot of the stress and anxiety I was feeling.
Lisa truly listens and cares about what you’re going through. Appointments never feel rushed, the space is warm and inviting, and everyone you come into contact with is a pleasure to talk with. I would 100% recommend to anyone going through infertility.”
