  • Hillary Leonzio, BSN-RN, MAc, LAc, Dipl. O. M.

    Hello!  I’m Hillary, a NCCAOM board certified Acupuncturist; more specifically I am a 5 Element Acupuncturist. 

    Working with people is what brings joy and purpose to my life. No matter the person’s circumstances and goals, there is always room for acupuncture. Whether someone is having physical issues or if they are going through an emotional time, or trying to simply live a healthier lifestyle; acupuncture lends itself beautifully to one’s physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional needs. 

    Currently, many of my patients are women who are post chemotherapy, dealing with neuropathy, pain, and discomfort. They are discovering life after cancer treatment and are on the path of forward movement. 

    I  truly enjoy working with ALL people, wherever they may be in their life journey. Whether it is anxiety, depression, back pain, sleep disturbances, grief, healthy lifestyle changes, or seeking clarity of mind about a situation, acupuncture can help. It is a beautiful process to observe as we blossom, grow, heal, and discover ourselves.
