Holistic Chinese Medicine Center

I went to Leah for relaxation and fertility. I was very pleased at first and do feel she cares and is good at her craft. What I didn’t like:
1) during one visit I started to remove my shoes and noticed a number of used needles on the carpet! I brought this to her attention and she didn’t seem too concerned. I was appalled and asked her to help clean them up. She did and we went on with the session, but this really bothered me.
2) she insists on people taking her herbal supplement mixes. I thought this was okay — but pretty quickly didn’t care for it for several reasons:
— weight and volume are two different measurements! She places the herbs in the container by weight and then prescribes by volume. I ended up having excess herbs and she would accuse me of not taking them all/​correctly. I got tired of the back and forth on that point. :-/​
— I asked what was in the herb mix and she wouldn’t give me specifics. Her response was vague and chastising, challenging that «these have been taken for thousands of years, so they are safe» etc… This disturbed me as I like to know what I am ingesting .
— the herbs got VERY expensive! (mainly because I wasn’t able to use them up based on issue described above) So I told her I was stopping them due to cost. I was made to feel guilty and like I was doing something really wrong by taking control of my own choices.
All on all — I felt that it wasn’t a good fit long term.

Leah helped eliminate (!!) my seasonal allergies with herbal treatment. I’d tried to manage them with Claritin and other OTC meds over the years, but suffered the side effects. No side effects with Leah’s approach and the treatment lasted the full season and through the next, too. She also provided accupuncture treatments that helped the spasms I was having in my back. This was my first experience with these «alternate» approaches, and I am now completely sold. I highly recommend Leah for herbal and accupuncture treatments.

Leah has been studying Chinese Herbal Medicine for over 30 years and is an expert in her field. She can help with migraines, and other physical pains that are not normally treated by Western Medicine. I have been to a number of her presentations and have always found her helpful and informative.

After suffering from chronic stomach pain, and suffering through numerous visits to a specialist, I finally sought out an alternative therapy to my ailment so I scheduled an appt. with Leah. After my first round of herbal and acupuncture therapy, my condition had already started to improve dramatically. Her thoughtful questions and explanations really helped get to the root of my particular issue, and she really made me feel comfortable and confident with the treatments (even though I had zero experience with TCM). Her herbal remedies have been especially helpful in treating my condition, which NO amount or combination of western medicine seems to alleviate. On top of that, Leah was able to give me great advice on small adjustments in my diet that have not only helped my specific problem, but my overall well-​being and energy levels to boot. Every time I walk out of my appointment, I feel better. Total lifesaver!

After just five sessions (one month) I experienced a 60−70% improvement in a physical condition I have had no luck improving for over 15 years. Needless to say, I’m a believer! I look forward to my weekly sessions with Leah and feel my time and money could not be better spent than on her knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly effective expertise.

Leah has been very helpful in helping manage pain with acupuncture. She is very knowlegable and easy to work with. I highly recommend her when you have a need for acupuncture or chinese herbs.

I went to see Leah based on a recommendation from my cousin. Thinking in conventional medicine terms, I initially sought out Leah to treat certain physical ailments I was experiencing. While her treatments helped with my physical ailments, I had know idea of the effect they would have on my whole body/​mind experience! Between the acupuncture and the herbal therapies I found that my whole body and mind were being altered and brought more into balance with one another. Leah treated several symptoms of stress on my body, things that she assessed from interviewing me about everything from sleep and eating habits, to organ health. Since going to Leah, I have noticed big improvements with how my body behaves physically, but I also now find that I am able to focus on and express myself artistically like never before! Emotionally, I feel better, too. I am convinced her treatments have treated and improved the whole person, not just one or two physical symptoms. As the result of my treatments with Leah, I feel like my whole body is in better all-​around sync, or harmony.

I’ve been seeing Leah for over a year for various issues. I had abdominal surgery 6 months ago and have been getting treatments and herbs that have helped me immensely. I have healed fast and well and my energy is great. My allergies and headaches are gone.
Leah spends time learnining about you and your needs. She knows both the needles and the herbs and she take good care of you!
If you have been considering acupuncture, try Leah!

I had a pain in my leg that usually gets better with time, but after 3 months, I finally went in to give Leah a try. Although I couldn’t quite define the exact area of pain in my leg, Leah still got as much information as she could from me so she could zero in. (She is very thorough before she starts). I must admit, I’m a real skeptic and I honestly thought this was a waste of time, but it was starting to affect my gait. About 4 days later the pain started to go away and in about a week it was completely gone. (She trained in China)
