Root of Health Acupuncture & Wellness

I cannot say enough great things about Leanne. I went initially because I had such trouble loosing weight after trying everything. Leanne not only helped me loose weight but helped me get healthy along the way. With discovery of foods that don’t work well with my body and supplemental nutrition I am so much more healthy. In the process I have more energy, sleep better, and have less cravings. I could go on and on. If you need someone to be a partner in your health journey definitely visit Leanne.

I was referred to Dr. Leanne Hewlin through my acupuncturist who was treating me with a digestion problem that all the doctors at the hospital couldn’t heal. She was very nice, sweet, loving and caring and she performed something called Nutritional Response Testing on me. I found it quite interesting as a form of medicine to be able to pinpoint what Standard Process supplements she needed to use on me. I am sorry to say but my digestion problem was far too complex for even her to solve but she is quite knowledgeable and skilled because she also is trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine. I highly recommend seeing her for you won’t be disappointed because she also hold workshops and other lectures on how to live a more healthy lifestyle. All I have to say is I’m glad I met her!

After being diagnosed with a pyloric channel ulcer, stomach inflammation, and food sensitivies Leanne was able to diligently work with me over a few months to get me back on track (and symptom free!) to living a healthy lifestyle. Leanne is very, very knowledgeable regarding clinical nutrition, disease, and the contaminants that can affect our health and wellbeing in everyday foods and products. She has great detective skills (and you will learn to develop these as well!) in searching through many different lifestyle factors to determine what is at the «root cause» of your issues and how to address it. I had the pleasure of learning from her the supplements, lifestyle habits, and foods that I needed to enter into my daily regimen to keep GERD (i.e. acid reflux) at bay and prevent any type of gastritis from occurring again in my stomach. Most importantly, she gives you the tools you need to survive on your own and make the necessary lifestyle changes to provide lasting relief from prior symptoms.
I also saw her for acupuncture and had a great session that relieved my abdominal pain and discomfort during the initial phase of addressing my stomach issues! I highly recommend seeing Leanne for any acute issues that have just popped up, chronic pain/​symptoms, and even just to learn more about keeping yourself healthy over the long term in terms of nutrition/​lifestyle!

Leanne has been such a tremendous help in getting my tired body back to normal energy levels. My energy is a lot higher, my adrenal fatigue has completely faded, I can now easily get up in the morning. Leanne has the keen ability to exactly determine what kind of supplements your body needs and in what quantity. Her customized supplements plan is key. I highly recommend Leanne if you’re looking for a nutritionist that looks at you as a unique individual and that uses natural supplements. Your body will thank you for it.

My daughter is a competitive tennis player and last 2 years she has been injured all the time, she trains less then others and get injured more, she was always in pain. All the doctors were saying that she is growing and hormones are changing and all that stuff, it will get better, but it sis not. So I went to Leanne for help. She did Nutrition Response Testing, looked at the blood test results and started with the treatment course. We saw changes right the way, even after a week by eliminating some food the pain stopped, and now just after 1 month she can train more and not be in pain and she can compete and not worry that something will get injures, We are super happy with the results already, so will be even better when she is done with her 3 month cleanse.
Leanne is very personable and goes out of her way for the clients.

My daughter, a volleyball player, suffered a severe back injury/​strain while playing in a tournament. Her team, already short-​handed, could not suffer another lost player. Leanne was able to get her back on the court the next day. Though not 100%, she was able to play and make a difference on the court. Thank goodness for Leanne and her acupuncture.

Whether you are suffering from a chronic condition, have a sports injury, or just want to optimize your health, Leanne should be a key member of your care team, or frankly, your only practitioner. I have been seeing Leanne for some time to help resolve a few challenging health issues, including healing cranky knees and preventing autoimmune disorders, and I am always grateful for her skill, patience and kindness. I love the combination of Leanne’s knowledge/​intuition and my body’s own wisdom that inform the best possible paths to healing with the right supplemental nutrition in the right doses at the right time. I also love that she uses the highest quality organic, food-​based Standard Process supplements which are based on Dr. Royal Lee’s pioneering research and development. I have also witnessed my husband heal more rapidly from a sprained ankle by Leanne’s acupuncture treatments. Excellent value and highly recommended as a person and practitioner.

Awesome practitioner who helped me through everything. Missed 6 months of my junior tennis season from a back injury that just wouldn’t go away. Through a combination of nutrition response testing and acupuncture I was able to recover and feel better. All the while getting back in the court and playing tennis in college.

I began seeing Leanne for Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. I have been living with this autoimmune condition for almost 6 years, fluctuating between very symptomatic phases and times where I have felt okay.
On my first visit, she did a very thorough intake with me and created a timeline detailing the onset of my condition and everything that was going on in my life. She assessed the possible root causes that may have triggered my condition. She also did some tests to assess the function of my nervous system. Then she used muscle testing to determine what supplements would nourish and help my body. Lastly, we came up with things I could do to improve my health like going gluten-​free, yoga, and a better sleep schedule.
I have been taking my supplements for almost 1.5 months now. I have been feeling great. My energy has improved, I feel more relaxed, balanced, and overall positive. I wake up in the morning feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day. I have even lost a few pounds without even trying!
I am excited to retest my thyroid levels in another 1.5 months. I have been feeling the way I did before my symptoms started. I highly recommend Leanne for anyone with chronic, stubborn, unknown, and difficult to cure conditions!

I went here with a badly sprained ankle and I came out as if nothing had happened. Leanne was incredibly kind and friendly and her treatment was the best acupuncture I have ever received. Now, a few days after my treatment, I’m able to walk fine with full range and movement of my foot!

Leanne is very friendly, professional and she goes the extra mile to make sure she provides the best care for her clients. I didn’t have any huge complaints when I went to see her, but had some low grade pain from a neck and back injury I had sustained 20 years ago and had some difficulty losing weight, no matter how much I exercised or dieted. After doing Nutrition response testing with Leanne, I noticed my pain is completely gone, plus I am sleeping better and was able to easily lose that extra weight ! She identified several foods I have sensitivities to, and I’ve noticed if I cheat and eat them, my digestion and sleep definitely worsen. I highly recommend her!

Leanne is just the type of health practitioner I want — she is a sleuth! Her nutritional response testing techniques are on the cutting edge. She uses Standard Process, a top-​of-​the-​line whole-​food supplement company. She’s kind, thoughtful and tenacious. I’m seeing her for a variety of what I call «mild chronic issues», things that don’t really interrupt my day, yet I want to address so that they don’t become bigger issues in the future. I’m thrilled that she is on my team!
