Lisa Samet graduated from the Southwest College of Naturopathy in 1998 and has been practicing in Montreal since then. She was born and raised in New York and for the first half of her professional life worked in marketing for Procter and Gamble. After ten years with them, in Cincinnati and then Japan, she had to face the fact that her side hobby of homeopathy and natural medicine had become far more interesting and satisfying to her than the work she was doing fifty or more hours per week.

So, it was in her mid-thirties that she went back to school full time to become a naturopath. She’s never looked back as the work she imagined doing is as wonderful and gratifying as she had hoped and she was able to find what she felt was missing in her previous career – accomplishing something of value. And what that is for her is to help people achieve a greater level of health and an undestanding of how to better manage their health. This represents truly meaningful work and a real source of passion and enthusiasm for her.

Naturopaths typically don’t specialize in body systems or parts as conventional doctors do, but instead in treatment modalities, such as herbal naturopathy or homeopathy, and develop their expertise there. In her practice, Lisa Samet uses primarily homeopathy (see linked article ‘What is Homeopathy?’), supported by nutritional and diet optimization, as well as emotional repatterning techniques to help people overcome chronic and acute disease.

Lisa Samet’s practice attracts patients who have not been satisfied with their results using the conventional medical system. She sees patients with all type of chronic and acute diseases.
