Many people think that things like back pain or migraines are something they just have to “live with.” They take insomnia as a matter of course and get through the day reliant on caffeine for their chronic fatigue. And while things like PMS, hot flashes and a racing mind may be common concerns in our modern culture, it doesn’t mean that it’s healthy.
More people are turning to acupuncture for relief from these common symptoms brought on by the increasingly stressful lives many of us are navigating the upheavals 2020 has thrown at us. Acupuncture provides a safe and effective treatment alternative for issues as far ranging as fertility concerns to allergy relief. Acupuncture has been a primary medical modality for thousands of years, and continues to offer a reliable way of getting to the root of physical and emotional disharmony.
My mission is to promote wellness through collaborative partnership between myself and each of my clients. I believe that when we take the first step in seeking help for physical or emotional concerns, we are already on the path towards healing. My job is to simply partner with you on this journey, while providing the tools to allow your body mind and spirit to move closer to its own optimal wellness.
“The bigger meaning of healing is a ‘wholing,’ a filling out of the missing pieces of a person’s life. Sometimes this may even mean facing death in a more fully realized way. Certainly it is an opportunity to come more deeply and fully into life.”
~ Patricia Reis

Client Testimonials
“Since receiving acupuncture treatment I have noticed a general increase and balance of my internal energy. I am increasingly aware that this flow of energy assists me with decreasing my stress level and increases my ability to clarify the issues I may have brought with me to the treatment session. With this improved clarity and calm, which I gain from an acupuncture treatment, I have found that I am better able to manage my responsibilities as a parent, professional and life partner. In addition, I have an increase in physical energy that allows me to perform my general daily activities in a more effective, grounded manner.” ~ Holly G, 49
“Since I began working with Lesley my life has improved dramatically. Thanks to her encouraging words, along with acupuncture, I feel much more balanced and capable of handling life’s stresses. I am calmer, less anxious, and enjoying everything so much more.” ~ Jennifer B, 34
“I have been under acupuncture treatment with Lesley for almost a year. I first sought acupuncture treatment for cystitis. After about three treatments my symptoms of urinary urgency and frequency were completely gone. Lesley has been working with me to heighten my awareness of bladder irritants and the mind body connection in general. I have had positive unexpected results from acupuncture treatment such as a decrease in nightmares and food cravings. I went from a reluctant and skeptical acupuncture patient to true believer in the power of aligning the body through acupuncture so it can heal itself. It has proven to be an amazing adjunct to Westernized medicine.” ~ Kristin K, 40
“Thank you so much, Lesley, for the great session the other night. It totally eliminated the migraine and helped tremendously with the TMJ. I have had my nightguard adjusted and am feeling much better. I might reschedule the next appt.” ~ Joyce C, 50
“I’m always amazed at my own transformation after my treatments with Lesley. The beauty and depth of acupuncture treatments coupled with Lesley’s expertise and therapeutic guidance is a gift; for me it’s the gift of life. I leave the office both physically and emotionally strengthened. Lesley has taught me how to accept myself and how to truly live with faith, courage, and commitment. I am forever thankful for Lesley’s kindness and friendship.” ~ Noa S, 28
“I have been in and out of acupuncture for the last few years and can tell you that Lesley is just great! She is professional, knowledgeable and truly works to help your body help itself.” ~ Debbie D, 41
“Lesley brings tremendous insight and compassion into her treatment room. She has a deep understanding of nature and how we as people on this Earth can most ideally be intertwined within it. Her straight-forward, thought-provoking style is refreshing. There is not another practitioner that I would more strongly recommend to anyone who asked.” ~ Kimberley K., LAc, PT, OCS, ATC
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient healing modality that dates back to the 3rd century B.C., and is based on the theory that Qi (pronounced chee) regulates a person’s spiritual, emotional, mental and physical balance. Disease is caused by these energetic forces becoming unbalanced (through excesses of emotion, physical exertion, external forces such as heat and cold, poor diet, etc.) or blocked. Acupuncture works by restoring balance to a person’s system, righting the energetic flow of energy and resulting in an alleviation of physical, mental and emotional symptoms of imbalance.
Philosophy
Five-Element Acupuncture is based on nature and the principals of five elements corresponding with each of the seasons. The Chinese observed the cycles of nature as reflected in these seasons, and in the movement of all living things through all cycles of life. According to this theory, optimal health and wellness allows this natural cycle of seasons to flow through us naturally.
This theory remains as a reminder for us to pay attention when our bodies are speaking to us through fatigue, pain, digestive discomfort or other manifestations of imbalance on a deeper level. Your body is wise. Acupuncture treatment simply helps you tune in and listen to it.
