Jennifer is a certified aromatherapist and certified pharmacy technician with an emphasis in holistic health. She is the owner of Georgi Girl Oils, located in Denver, Colorado, where she lives with her husband and youngest daughter. She brings together her knowledge of aromatherapy, plant essences, and pharmacy to create unique phyto-essence options for her clients, providing an essential holistic therapy. Jennifer is a professional member of NAHA, National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy. She is an enthusiastic educator who teaches various classes and workshops to fellow natural health professionals, medical professionals and the general public. She offers personal consultations with custom blending. She collaborates with Progressive Health Center to create custom products and utilizes aromatherapy with employees and patients alike. Integrating holistic health practices and aromatherapy within the realm of allopathic medicine is a challenging undertaking; but, one for which she has much desire and intent. Expanding her knowledge by taking aromatherapy courses or reading books on the subject delights her. Teaching on the art and science of essential oils enthralls her. Her greatest happiness comes from sharing the beauty of aromatherapy with others to help them achieve their health and wellness goals.

Liisa is a Wisconsin native and an 1985 alumni of the New Mexico School of Natural Therapeutics. She has her BA from Metro State in Physical Education - her emphasis was in Adult Fitness and Exercise Science. A long time member of the AMTA, she also holds her Board Certification with the NCTMB. She has held various jobs with many medical offices through the years and was given the opportunity to obtain her certificate as a Lymphedema Therapist through Klose Training. This renewed her passion for direct contact with patients and clients. Her hope is to stimulate a healing process and bring balance and awareness of self care to their lives. Continuing her coursework in oncology massage has brought her into the hospital setting at local facilities.

Massage therapy is a second career for Lori, who worked for many years as a school psychologist. After receiving some skilled therapeutic massage during a stressful time, Lori personally felt the benefits of massage to both body and mind. She became “hooked” and wanted to pursue training to become a LMT. Lori graduated with honors from Massage Therapy Institute of Colorado in 2013 and has since worked in the hospital setting (Swedish Hospital) and at a busy chiropractic office. She is thrilled to join the team of amazing health professionals at progressive health at Presbyterian/St. Lukes Medical Center. Lori provides an individualized massage for each client depending on their needs, from traditional Swedish, deep tissue and joint range of motion to myofascial release techniques and stretches to relieve tight or sore muscles. Additional areas of specialty for Lori include pre-natal, post-partum, and oncology massage. When not at Presbyterian St. Luke’s or Swedish Hospital, you might find Lori on a long, slow run along the South Platte River, walking her dogs around downtown Littleton, skiing down the slopes at Winter Park, or hanging out with her husband and two incredible teenagers. As Lao Tzu once said, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with one small step.” Looking forward to working with P/SL employees as well as patients as they take a step towards wellness of mind, body, and spirit.
