Lesley is amazing.

Lesley is amazing. She really listens to your story and your body to create a treatment designed for you. She is very knowledgeable in the art and science of acupuncture and is happy to share that knowledge.

Worth every penny and then some

After months and months of dealing with two shoulder injuries that would not heal (Rugby), I scheduled a session with Lesley Valentine. Not only can I raise my shoulders above my head today, but I slept more soundly than I have in months thanks to her identifying other older injuries that were the root cause of my troubles. Thank you so much for this gift of health. Worth every penny and then some.

Lesley is an amazing acupuncturist

Lesley is an amazing acupuncturist, hands down! She spends the time with a compassionate ear to find out exactly what’s going on with you. She has been an advocate for me in my recovery from Lyme disease and has helped me in ways that exceeded my expectations and scope of possibilities. She’s very thorough and it’s obvious she cares about her clients. I feel like a different person after working with her and always sleep better, plus her space is very grounded. Her treatments work! Get ready to feel better!

Lesley is a great acupuncturist!

Lesley is a great acupuncturist! She has a very different style than I have experienced before but super effective. Lesley can figure out where the pain stems from and end the pain for you. She is very attentive and compassionate along with good storytelling.

She takes the time to really listen

I know I can trust Lesley to give the absolute best treatment possible. Her training is far and above what is taught in TCM classes and she takes the time to really listen to her patients.

Lesley is the best acupuncturist I have ever experienced!

Lesley is the best acupuncturist I have ever experienced! At a time when I was at my wit’s end and stretching myself far too thin, my immune system tanked, and I was getting sick constantly. Lesley felt my pulses and noted that my immune system had been weak for a long time. She carefully placed the needles, let me fall asleep on her table, and immediately afterward I felt peaceful, rested, and my cough was gone. I came in twice more within that month, and *knock on wood* I have not been sick since!

Lesley is intuitive, thorough, and has a passion for bettering her practice. I have sent multiple patients to Artful Life Acupuncture for her healing touch, and every single patient has left healthier than when they came. Thank you, Lesley!

Lesley is effective, professional, and collaborative

I received acupuncture for a torn meniscus and MCL. Lesley is effective, professional, and collaborative. After 3 months of pain, and having received recommendations for surgery to remove the meniscus, I started acupuncture treatment with Lesley. At the time I was still finding it difficult to walk and poor sleep and my condition had deteriorated to the point that I occasionally needed a cane. My baseline when I’d received the injury was a level of fitness that allowed me to compete athletically at an amateur level. Over the course of a few weeks with Lesley my pain subsided to the point that I walk normally and without assistance, having sometimes to remind myself that I’m still healing, and my sleep has improved to near normal. I fully recommend acupuncture for the knee, and Lesley as a treatment professional.

Lesley is wonderful

Lesley is an amazing practitioner of Japanese style acupuncture. I originally started seeing Lesley for a low back problem I had had for years and she helped me resolve that in just one visit. Now I go every few months to recalibrate my body. I leave feeling as if my whole body is communicating with itself efficiently and harmoniously. Lesley is wonderful, incredibly knowledgeable and I highly recommend her.
