About Us
Yvette Lombardi, LAc, LMT, MSOM
Our purpose is to help as many people as possible become healthy… naturally. That purpose moves us beyond the goal of relieving pain and suffering to the vision of promoting and maintaining optimal health and well-being.
We deliver community workshops to provide the public with information they can use to improve their health naturally. As the Yellow Emperor said 2500 years ago, “the inferior physician treats, the superior physician teaches”. The more educated the public is about the benefits of natural healthcare, the more healthy our world becomes.
We serve the Greater Chicago area in Illinois, Southern Wisconsin, and Northwest Indiana. Our primary office is located on Arlington Heights Road, one block south of Dundee in front of the pond and fountain.
