Lisa,
This is a great blog, and I am happy to see venture capital people getting involved in the alternative medicine filed. It always seemsto me like this area is does not get much VC attention.
We are now looking for advisers for our new startup (www.myHolisticServices.com) and would be very honored if you could be a part of our community as an adviser!
Good luck!
-Darie
