Lisa Preston completed IFS level 1 and 2 training from 2012- 2014. She takes continuing education courses in IFS, including somatic IFS with Susan McConnell. 

Dr. Preston graduated NYCOM in 2003 with a doctorate in osteopathy. She went on to residency from 2003-2009 at Christiana Care in Delaware. She then started working as an attending physician doing traditional osteopathy. While working on people's fascia and body pain she noticed how some emotions were blocked in the body and sought to understand this further. Once discovering IFS for her personal growth, she was excited to study it professionally. In 2013 she started taking IFS clients and since then her practice has grown. Presently, she works both as a traditional osteopath and IFS practitioner.
