Before opening her own practice in 2002, Lisa Kamphuis was a nurse practitioner in a family planning clinic, and subsequently in a traditional women's health clinic. She saw beyond the 4-5 patients an hour schedule, an opportunity to teach her clients about preventative health using nutrition, supplements, herbs, and lifestyle approaches.
Lisa uses a connection with her clients to personalize an individual plan, always with a team approach, empowering clients to listen to their body's needs and messages. Lisa holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Work from Iowa State University and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Iowa.

Services
An array of women's health concerns can be addressed in the privacy and comfort of our intimate and welcoming office setting, without the hectic pace of a typical health clinic. Our office also offers a variety of healthcare services for men, including hormone balancing, (thyroid and adrenal), nutrition coaching, gastro-intestinal testing, and food intolerance testing.
Visits at Whole Woman Health include conversation and physical examination (when necessary). Expect a one hour initial consult. During the initial visit, Lisa will gather a very thorough history from you. The time this takes will vary, depending on your story and how it unfolds. It is helpful to bring any labs you have had done in the last 6 months which would pertain to your visit.
Have you heard the expression "To heal anything, you have to heal everything"? An ailment or disease does not exist in isolation-nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle play a role in health. Integrative healthcare evaluates the whole person and uses traditional medicine, plus holistic strategies like nutritional counseling, supplements and coaching, to create an effective healthcare plan.
