Journey to healing

Acupuncture is an ancient healing art

It 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.

Acupuncture treatment

The foundation of health lies in the fact that everything is connected

I employ the Five-Element philosophy. It is based on nature and the principles of the 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. Address imbalances and restore equilibrium on every level—physical, emotional, and spiritual. Much like nature effortlessly transitions through its cycles, acupuncture aids us in finding balance and well-being.

We offer a holistic path towards managing anxiety. Through tailored treatment plans and empathetic guidance, we empower individuals on their journey towards greater calmness and inner peace. Experience the transformative benefits of acupuncture in Phoenix

I found Lesley when I was at my wit's end with pain and depression. I had had multiple orthopedic and neurosurgeries and worked through the pandemic as a nurse practitioner. I did not realize the toll all that had taken on my body. For the last several months I have worked with Lesley and the transformation has been amazing! Part life coach, counselor, and acupuncturist, Lesley has helped me put myself back together. I am feeling a sense of well-being I have not felt for at least 3 years since my chronic pain journey began. After one acupuncture visit, I felt so open-hearted that I went directly to a friend's house and gave her the warmest hug and greeting that I have ever felt. My friend and I both needed that--magical! Look no further for a partner in your healing. Lesley is it.

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!

“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.”
