Who You’ll Be Working With

Our Functional Medicine Team

Functional medicine starts with listening. Our team takes the time to understand your health history, goals, symptoms, and what you want to feel better in your everyday life.

Emily Mersman, PA-C

Lead Provider

With more than two decades of experience in medicine, Emily brings clinical knowledge and a deeply personal perspective to functional wellness.

Her own experience navigating long COVID and Lyme disease inspired her interest in integrative medicine and a more comprehensive approach to health. Today, she combines her medical background with a passion for listening, understanding the whole person, and helping patients make informed decisions about their care.

Liz Goring, CHC

Patient Care Coordinator & Certified Health Coach

Chronic Lyme disease took Liz through years of appointments before she found care that looked at the whole person. Now as Leora’s Patient Care Coordinator, she helps you put your care plan into practice. She explains recommendations, helps you make changes that fit your life, works through setbacks with you, and keeps you connected to Emily and the team.

Her focus is on the foundations, including nutrition, hydration, sleep, movement, nervous system support, gut health, and daily habits. Liz is a Certified Health Coach, Certified Lyme Specialist, Certified ZYTO Practitioner, and personal trainer.

Our Functional Health & Wellness Services

Every plan at Leora Place is built around you. Depending on your goals, your care may include an in-depth consultation, wellness assessments, coaching, and supportive therapies. Not sure where to start? Call our office and we'll help you figure out the right first step.

Comprehensive Functional Wellness Consultation

This in-depth, 1-hour consultation takes a closer look at your health history, symptoms, lifestyle, and wellness goals. Your visit may include a detailed intake, Zyto scan, and Muscle Response Testing (MRT). Your individualized analysis will be used to help guide your personalized wellness plan that may include recommendations related to nutrition, lifestyle, supplementation, additional testing, and other appropriate wellness therapies.

Personalized Health Coaching Consultation

Get focused support for the goals that matter most to you, from healthy aging and longevity to nutrition, weight management, metabolic health, digestive wellness, and immune support. Your 1-hour consultation includes a review of your goals and Zyto scan findings to help shape an individualized plan.

Complex & Chronic Wellness Support

If you've spent months or years looking for answers, we start by taking a broader look at your history, symptoms, environment, nutrition, and lifestyle to understand what may be contributing to how you feel. We offer supportive care for concerns associated with Lyme disease, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), Candida, parasites, H. pylori, heavy-metal exposure, and recurring infections such as strep. Care usually begins with a Functional Wellness Consultation, and pricing depends on your plan.

Peptide Therapy

Peptide therapy uses short chains of amino acids that act as signaling molecules in your body. When appropriate, personalized peptide protocols are offered in liquid, oral, or injectable forms based on your individual goals and the specific therapy being considered.

Muscle Response Testing (MRT)

Muscle Response Testing is a hands-on assessment. We check for changes in muscle response while different substances or wellness factors are introduced. We use those observations as one input alongside your history and goals. MRT isn't a diagnostic test for disease, allergies, or deficiencies. It's one tool we use to help shape your recommendations.

Ionic Detox Foot Bath

Relax with a warm saltwater foot bath that uses a gentle electrical current. This soothing wellness treatment can be added to your routine as a relaxing way to support your overall sense of well-being.

Far-Infrared (FIR) Sauna Therapy

Far-infrared sauna therapy uses gentle heat to warm your body and promote sweating. A session is a relaxing addition to your wellness routine and may support relaxation, recovery, circulation, and overall well-being.

PEMF Session

PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy uses gentle electromagnetic pulses during a non-invasive wellness session. Depending on your goals, it may be incorporated into your care as a supportive therapy for recovery, relaxation, circulation, and overall well-being.

VibraX plate

The VibraX plate creates gentle vibrations that stimulate your muscles while you stand or move on the platform. Sessions can be incorporated into wellness programs focused on muscle activation, circulation, movement, recovery, and overall wellness.

Pulsar Therapy Session

This customized wellness session combines Pulsar therapy with laser or light therapy and PEMF. Bringing several therapies together allows your session to be tailored to your individual wellness goals and the approach that best fits your needs.
