If you’ve been dealing with pain, anxiety, or a health condition that’s keeping you from living your best life, it can start to feel exhausting, especially when nothing seems to fully help.

Many of my patients come in feeling overwhelmed, run down, or frustrated that they’re not getting the answers or relief they need. You might be managing symptoms, but not actually feeling better.

Acupuncture offers a different approach, one that works with your body to help reduce symptoms and support lasting healing.

Feel Better, Faster

What to Expect From Acupuncture

Your first acupuncture visit is designed to help you feel comfortable, heard, and supported.

We’ll start with a conversation about your symptoms, health history, and goals so your treatment can be fully tailored to you. From there, you’ll relax on a treatment table while very thin, gentle needles are placed at specific points on the body.

Most patients find acupuncture deeply calming, and often leave feeling more relaxed, grounded, and at ease.

Treatment plans vary depending on your needs, but many patients begin to notice improvements within just a few sessions.

How Quickly Will I See Results?

Every patient is different, but many people begin to notice changes within 3–5 sessions.

Acute concerns may improve more quickly, while chronic conditions often benefit from a series of treatments over time.

My goal is not just short-term relief, but helping you feel better in a lasting, sustainable way.

Why Choose Acupuncture

Safe & Effective

Acupuncture is one of the oldest forms of medicine used around the world. Research studies have proven its effectiveness to treat a wide range of conditions. I use only sterile, single-use, disposable needles.

Gentle & Pain Free

I use the gentlest of techniques, resulting in a pain-free experience. The needles are so thin that people are amazed that they don’t even feel them. Non-insertive techniques are also available.

All Natural

Acupuncture works with your body to stimulate its own healing, all without unwanted side effects or the use of medication or chemicals. Your body is an amazing thing and does the healing!

Relaxing

Acupuncture “turns on” your body’s relaxation response, leaving you stress-free and feeling relaxed. Your acupuncture nap will be the best part of your day! Snoring is welcomed.

“Acupuncture has been amazing and invaluable. Before I began acupuncture I had terrible back pain. Now my pain is gone and I am able to do so many activities I enjoy. Leslie is so personable and caring. Her abilities are life-changing.”

George P.

Leslie is literally a life saver. After several acupuncture sessions including “cupping” I am pain free. She is one of the most caring individuals I have ever dealt with. You can immediately tell she truly cares for her patients and has the special ability to truly listen. I plan to continue with my sessions as part of my decision to take better care of myself.
