MEET LEISHA
LEISHA LAIRD
Doctor of Acupuncture
Registered Acupuncturist
You may come with a specific issue, yet will leave with an expanded sense of self; confident, calm and equipped with knowledge to move forward.
I am here to nurture your wellness through grounded research, intuition, nutrition, and acupuncture. I work collaboratively and compassionately with clients, offering a nurturing space to be seen and heard, inviting you to flourish in all areas of your life.
I work from a place of empathy, to deeply understand your experience. For over 10 years, I have supported couples as they navigate fertility, pregnancy, and welcoming their children into the world. I support couples both conceiving on their own and in collaboration with IVF and fertility treatments. My practice focuses on growing healthy families at each stage of life, and has evolved to include autoimmune issues and digestive imbalance. I largely work with women and children, and draw from an established network of resources to invite an integrative and complete experience. I welcome you to my practice!
