Our beginnings

We are two like-minded acupuncturists with a grand vision based upon the belief that peace in the person creates peace in the family. Peace in the family creates peace in the community. Peace in the community creates peace in the world.  By opening our center, our commitment is to create peace in the world, one person at a time.

Our mission is to cultivate self-awareness and intentionality in ourselves and in our clients. Through treatment and education, we each learn to take responsibility for our own wellness and make mindful choices in our lives for the sake of all beings. We invite you to join our mission and find your personal peace with the help of our trained practitioners and therapists.

Be well,

Leslie and Kathy
