Traditional Chinese Medicine is a holistic approach to wellness. With over 3000 years of clinical evidence, I am confident that we can work together to optimize your health. After a thorough health interview, I will determine a treatment plan that will include acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and lifestyle changes.
Herbal medicine is a key component of Chinese medicine. I am deeply drawn to and excited by the effectiveness of plants as medicine. The way we use herbs in Chinese medicine is different than Western herbalism. Instead of using one herb for one symptom, we create a formula of herbs unique to each symptom set.
Cupping is a technique used in conjunction with acupuncture to promote circulation, loosen tight muscles, break adhesions, and encourage the body to flush toxins. It uses suction to adhere cups to your body, which are then either left in place over certain acupuncture points or areas of acute muscle tension, or are moved over a larger area of the body.

Leah is amazing! I was seeing a local Chiropractor for 3
months and felt no relief. I decided to try acupuncture and Thank God I did!! I came to Leah for severe back and neck pain; I felt better and pain free after 1 session of acupuncture and cupping! I scheduled a total of 4 sessions, which I got a discount for doing. She's patient, attentive to my concerns and needs, and intelligent! I'm so happy I tried this...It's very relaxing and I always fall asleep during my sessions LOL! Thank you Leah for taking care of me and helping me recover...highly recommended and I'm continuing maintenance sessions

I see Leah for regular maintenance and especially for recocery from injury. I run a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program and it is important that I am able have my movements unobstructed. Leah helps me with everyday wear and was especially helpful with recovery after knee surgery. Highly recommended for daily wear or recovery from trauma.

Leah is a gift to the acupuncture and Chinese medicine community. She is not only a great and knowledgeable practitioner, but she also infuses the medicine she practices with her own creativity and unique… perspective. This makes her treatments and herbal remedies even more powerful because they are so totally tailored to you, the patient. Great medicine and great results!
