Since that young age, Laura has held on to that book report; saved as a memento of living her life’s dream.

“I want everyone to be healthy and be able to function at their 100% potential,” she says. “I drove by Senara one day and said what an amazing place; I would love to work there. I knew that I did not to work at a traditional medical office and wanted to focus on promotion of health and prevention of illness, so everyone can be healthy from the inside out. This is Senara’s primary focus and mission- “Live life well” as is mine.”

Laura is a member of several professional organizations including the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners and Illinois Society of Advance Practice Nurses. She is certified in Advance Cardiac Life support.

“Live a life you love.” That’s the personal mantra of Christina (Tina) Lisowski, MSN, FNP-BC. And for her, it’s what drives her as a nurse practitioner to help people do that every day through their healthcare. Growing up in the south suburbs of Chicago, Tina was always active. From gymnanstics and cheerleading, to diving, and competitive tumbling, she was always involved in athletics of some sort.

Her love for exercise and her experience with athletic trainers helping her recover after an ACL injury led her to earning her Bachelor’s of Science degree in Exercise Science from Illinois State University. As she finished her undergraduate work, she realized she wanted to go further in helping people and provide care at a deeper level. With this in mind, and at the encouragement of her friends and family, she decided to become a nurse, and continued her studies in the nursing program at Illinois State University, Mennonite College of Nursing all the way through earning her Nurse Practitioner designations.

After earning her BSN degree, Tina worked in the Pediatric ICU at OSF Children’s Hospital, which was very rewarding for her. It was her discovery of Functional Medicine, however, that ultimately led to her pursuing her Nurse Practitioner designation. She realized that through the practice of Functional Medicine, she could combine both her nursing and Exercise Science degrees to truly help people live their best lives.

Upon completion of her Nurse Practitioner License, Tina joined a practice in Bloomington that provided both Functional Medicine and Cosmetic Aesthetic treatments. With that experience, Tina was drawn to Senara, where she could further her skills in both areas. For Tina, she loves “seeing the satisfaction on people’s faces when we help improve their lives. When we give them something they may not have known was possible.” Being able to focus on prevention and promotion of health with patient’s is something that she looks forward to doing with all of her patients at Senara.

Tina keeps active in her free time with her daughter, Lillian, who she describes as her “mini me and bestie.” She also has a cat named Luna, and travels to visit her extended family in Chicagoland often. Always the athlete, Tina now participates in competitive Body Building, and is a personal trainer, doing strength coaching and nutrition for people. Her other hobby is planning Disney vacations for not only herself and Lillian, but her friends, too.

“Live a life you love.” That’s the personal mantra of Christina (Tina) Lisowski, MSN, FNP-BC. And... Read More

Dr. Keith Kramer grew up on his family’s farm in Iowa. He learned early on that business success takes a lot of hard work, when at the tender age of four he started helping with the chores. Throughout his youth, he rose before dawn each day and took hard work seriously, and today he remains an early riser and tenacious in getting things done.

He also credits his independent spirit to growing up on the farm. He thrived on being held personally accountable for finishing his chores. It also made him understand how fulfilling owning a family business can be, so it was only a matter of time, education, and a clear purpose before he set out on his own.

While attending Iowa State University, where he met his wife, Penny, Dr. Kramer saw firsthand how chiropractic care helped people to feel better. From this, he discovered his career path and continued on to Palmer College of Chiropractic, earning his Doctor of Chiropractic degree.

Following his graduation, the Kramers moved to Peoria after Dr. Kramer received an offer to join a highly respected chiropractic group. In 2002, he left the group to open his own practice, Kramer Chiropractic, along with Penny who also joined him in the family business.

While growing the practice, Dr. Kramer continued to focus on what he could do to help others “Live Life Well.” He kept learning everything he could about the healing power of holistic and natural medicines and techniques, which led to adding health and healing guest services, from acupuncture and massage therapies to nutritional counseling and physical therapy. That meant further growth, including added staff and the need to build the spacious Senara facility in 2011, which is when the business transitioned from operating under the Kramer name to Senara.

Dr. Kramer is as passionate about living a healthy lifestyle as he is about spreading the message of how to “Live Life Well” to others.

“Working out is my meditation, and eating right fuels my body, and I feel great,” he said. “I want that for everyone. That’s why it is so fulfilling for me to see that what we do at Senara makes a difference in the quality of our guests’ lives.”

Dr. Kramer is Certified in Functional Medicine through the Functional Medicine University. For over 12 years, he has been practicing functional medicine in the realm of adrenal stress, hormone balance, and food sensitivities. He graduated from the prestigious Institute for Functional Medicine programs for functional medicine, A4M antiaging, and AARM restorative medicine. These programs grew his knowledge in the production and utilization of hormones, toxin diagnosis and treatment, and how this affects both biochemistry and physiology. To date, Dr Kramer has completed over 1000 studies, trainings, and case studies as part of his certification at Functional Medicine University and Institute for Functional Medicine.

In 2015, Dr Kramer expanded Senara’s health and healing services further with the addition of a dedicated Center for Functional Medicine, Weight Loss, and Anti-Aging treatments, Senara Medical Weight Loss and Anti-Aging Center.

The Kramers’ daughter, Grace, was born in 2002. The family spends their spare time together working out, reading, and traveling. Dr. Kramer likes to golf, cook and and attending Cyclone Football games!
