My mission is to create a new paradigm of healthcare that re-defines joyfully engaged care for one’s health as the cornerstone of Self-Care. It’s time to care for the part of you that no one sees.

It’s a different conversation here at MindfulLIFE Acupuncture. We strive for healing, not for the simple “curing” of symptoms with a deeper underlying cause. That is why all new clients start with a healing acupuncture package of six sessions. It speaks to commitment. It speaks to partnership. It speaks to a willingness and desire to to truly heal. Healing makes you whole. Are you ready to embark on your journey towards wholeness?
Our sessions help you tune in and listen to this voice.
Many people think that back pain, migraines or chronic fatigue are things they just have to “live with.” They take insomnia, PMS or digestive upset as a matter of course, and rely on medications to get through each day. Just because something is common, doesn’t mean it is normal. Become the detective in your own healing story. What is your body trying to tell you?
Throughout your treatment I will help you engage with lasting healing. We do this together by addressing and disengaging from pain, limiting beliefs and trauma.
Working with me is about learning how to work better with your own innate wisdom. Every appointment is as unique as you are. It’s about seeing, hearing and really listening to what is needed in that moment. You are extraordinary. Shouldn’t your health care be as well?
“If someone wishes for good health, one must first ask oneself if he is ready to do away with the reasons for his illness. Only then is it possible to help him.” – Hippocrates
If you re-frame your perspective, understand that pain and emotions are OK – that they’re just ways our body communicates with our spirit – we can use them to our advantage. We can take back control and stop them from dictating our lives.
I see a health care system based on the principles of personal empowerment that see each body as whole, divine extensions of nature, not parts-driven machines. Health care is a marriage of wisdom traditions, modern science and quantum physics, with the primary goal of supporting health, not chasing illness.
Dr. Lesley Johnsen is kind and attentive. She makes you feel at home. Easy to talk to, her office is a Zen space. My overall physical, emotional, and cognitive well-being has been positively impacted by her acupuncture therapies. I highly recommend her as a practitioner!
“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.”
“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.”
Lesley has helped me achieve the sleep and relaxation that I have been searching for. Throughout the handful of sessions we have had, I have learned a lot about myself and how to manage the stress of my daily life. She's great to talk to and highly educated in her fields of study. She makes the entire process very manageable and comfortable. Do yourself a favor and check her out!
“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.”
