Our Practitioners
Lisa Beaury, DOM/AP
Doctor of Oriental Medicine
Integrative / Functional Medicine Specialist
Owner, Healing Alternatives
Lisa is a Summa Cum Laude graduate from the Florida College of Integrative Medicine. There, she received a Bachelor’s in Professional Health Studies and a Master’s Degree in Oriental Medicine. She is also a Diplomate of Oriental Medicine through NCCAOM and a licensed Doctor of Oriental Medicine in the state of Florida. Her training includes Western Medicine and Oriental Medicine as well as a variety of Integrative and Functional Medicine approaches. Lisa is experienced in Bio-Energetic Feedback techniques, Applied Kinesiology / Muscle Testing, and she is able to order and support patients with blood work, saliva, stool tests and certain genetic tests.
A client of Healing Alternatives since childhood, Lisa has been brought up around natural healing modalities for as long as she can remember. Turning to herbs, homeopathic remedies, and energy work first is a way of life for her. Her first memory of an Integrative Medical Doctor is from a young age when a sibling continually had ear infections and had been prescribed a surgical procedure for tubes in his ears. In an effort to make sure that didn't happen, her mother found a Naturopathic Doctor who used muscle testing (Applied Kinesiology) to determine that it was simply a food allergy that was causing the earaches. Since then, she and her family have been devoted to looking at health and wellness from a holistic point of view. It's important to remember, just because your ears hurt, doesn't mean the root of the problem is in your ears.
A dedicated and passionate believer in natural and energetic healing modalities, Lisa is excited to be the leader of the team at Healing Alternatives.
Ying Liu, APRN
Certified by esteemed institutions such as the Hormonal Health Institute and the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine.
Welcome to Ying Liu, an incredible healthcare professional who embarked on her journey in medicine with a focus on exercise physiology, graduating and becoming an MD in China in 2002. Her belief in the power of lifestyle changes led her to pursue a PhD program in exercise physiology in the United States. However, her passion for patient care led her
to become a registered nurse in the US.
With two decades of patient care experience, Ying's journey evolved as she delved into functional medicine and aesthetics. Her dedication to addressing the root causes of health issues led her to specialize in bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, medical weight loss, and peptide therapy, certified by esteemed institutions such as the Hormonal Health Institute and the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine.
Currently holding an Autonomous Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) license in Florida, Ying has the same prescribing rights as a Medical Doctor in Florida. Due to thousands of clinical hours and advanced training, Ying is poised to bring her wealth of experience to Healing Alternatives. Her conventional training and dedication to functional medicine, combined with her aesthetic skills, promises to enrich the scope of services offered.

*Due to Ying’s extensive background in conventional care and urgent care, Healing Alternatives will now offer a Concierge Acute Care Service, as well as Primary Care services. These services will still be on a cash-paying basis. However, it will offer much more flexibility and availability than scheduling with insurance-based providers. Visits will be billed in 15-minute increments and not necessarily be based on a functional medicine model of longer, in-depth visits if the patient prefers. Labs can be run through insurance providers or done with cash, as always.

Hillary Carroll, LDN IFMCP
Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist
Functional Medicine Practitioner (IFM certified)
Quicksilver Scientific Certified Practitioner
SIBO Doctor Certified practitioner
Hillary grew up in Japan and moved to the UK to attend university where she obtained her first BSc. After years of trying to navigate her own health challenges and raising a young family, she learned about functional medicine and the importance of identifying underlying root causes of disease and harnessing the body’s innate propensity to heal.
Hillary obtained her second BSc in Nutritional Therapy from the University of West London and is also a certified practitioner by the prestigious Institute for Functional Medicine. She is passionate about helping people with chronic health conditions (including various GI conditions, Autoimmune conditions, hormonal and thyroid imbalances, allergies, skin conditions, fatigue etc.) who are too often told that there is nothing wrong with them or who have become caught up in a web of prescription medications that suppress symptoms (often with undesirable side-effects), but sincerely want to work with their body to identify and address the root cause(s) of dysfunction. Hillary collaboratively works with each individual to dispel feelings of frustration and helplessness so they can start to take ownership of their wellness and healing.
Hillary works with a wide range of clients who are highly motivated to make sustained health changes. She carefully examines the unique constellation of factors that have led to their health challenges and utilizes a wide range of functional laboratory testing (including comprehensive GI testing, comprehensive nutritional testing (ION, NutrEval), hormone testing, adrenal testing as well as heavy metal and other blood testing) to help pinpoint certain key areas of concern and develops a bespoke step-by-step dietary, lifestyle and nutraceutical protocol to help them regain ownership of their health and become the healthiest versions of themselves.
