WELCOME TO THE NEW ERA OF HEALING AND EARNING
Unlock the secrets of ancient healing for modern growth
I help holistic healers, bodywork professionals and acupuncturists unite ancient healing practices with modern business to unlock new revenue streams.
Meridian Care Center was created by Lisa Dowling, bodywork practitioner and trained Acupuncturist out of a desire to build a bridge between current research, modern approaches, and ancient wisdom with regards to the body, its systems, and its responses to stimulus.
We offer online training, webinars, livestream training and in person classes in a range of topics including cupping, gua sha, acupoints, meridian therapy, meditation, and heart centered business practices, and more.
At our core, we are a team of passionate individuals who believe in the power of holistic health. We strive to build a bridge between current research, modern approaches and ancient practices to help people achieve optimal wellbeing. Our journey towards this goal has been one filled with personal challenges and moments of profound self-discovery.
Meridian Care Center aims to incorporate therapeutic techniques that combine ancient wisdom with scientific evidence and proven results. I take pleasure in witnessing practitioners achieve optimal, efficient, and effortless outcomes during their client sessions.
It has been my experience that the most effective way to get the best results is to slow down and find an energetic communication system that makes sense for the practitioner. Many practitioners use intuition in their sessions but they may not have a methodology to understand what it is that they are feeling. When a system is studied and developed it can supercharge ones intuitive sense and give it a clear framework on which to place the sensations in order to provide the practitioner with a much clearer assessment of the condition of the body. When one understands the problem it is much easier to provide a treatment that will be effective beyond 'removing an energy blockage'.
The mind cannot see that which it doesn't know

My Journey from Gua Sha Confusion to Mastery
When I was a student in 1999, our Gua Sha training lasted only three hours. The technique felt confusing and intimidating because it was never properly explained—neither the mechanism behind it nor how it could truly improve the health of our clients. To me, it seemed like an unnecessarily brutal way to stimulate a response, and I felt uncomfortable practicing it.
For years, I only applied Gua Sha therapy in limited cases, mainly for clients struggl…
