  • I booked the 60-minute Slow Beauty Facial, and it was downright the BEST facial massage I've EVER received! Lisa used very natural, earthy products, keeping in mind any skin sensitivities/allergens a client may have. She used a calming mix of face-masks, exfoliating gels, and several warm towels to make the experience just so relaxing. After the massage, my skin was glowing and I felt refreshed and relaxed. She even explained to me certain massages/movements I can add to my skincare routine to help circulate my lymphatic system better. Thank you Lisa for an excellent experience, I will definitely be back!!

  • Lisa is truly the best. I’ve been going to her practice for several years now and I always leave feeling relaxed and pain-free. She listens to whatever issues you may be experiencing and customizes the massage accordingly. I’ve always appreciated how flexible she is when it comes to scheduling or rescheduling. Her new space is welcoming, calming and conveniently located with many free parking options. Can’t recommend Lisa Cordia Holistic Therapies enough!

  • I have been going once a month for a long time now. Lisa is part of my overall wellness and I cannot imagine being healthy without her! Her new space is a fantastic upgrade. She makes the experience so personal and catered exactly the way I want it. I’ll never get a massage anywhere else in Raleigh!
