Essential Acupuncture Chicago

Acupuncture

We have an integrative approach to healthcare and see healing as a collaboration between us, the individual--with all of their lived experience--and their other healthcare providers. We see working with people to restore and promote their health as an honor and are committed to thoughtful, compassionate, and respectful care for everyone.

We are nationally licensed acupuncturists (L.Ac.s) and board-certified herbalists. We both were awarded our Master of Science in Traditional Oriental Medicine (MSTOM) degree from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine, one of the most acclaimed and rigorous acupuncture schools in the country. The training for an MSTOM consists of a 4-year, 3,000 hour program with instruction in Western medical anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology, and Chinese medical theory, which includes acupuncture, herbology, and therapeutic massage, as well as hands-on clinical experience Read more

    We have referred Siri to patients and have received positive feed back. Everyone loves how much knowledge she has on the human body and how well she treated their backaches.

    I began visiting Leigh about a year ago and couldn't be happier and more fulfilled with the service and expertise she's brought to me. Every visit is unique as she really listens to what's going on in my life and provides treatments that balance my physical and emotional self. I can't recommend this practice more and actively encourage everyone who is shopping for a provider to call immediately. It's a very warm, sincere, and professional experience each time.

    I have PCOS and Thyroid issues. Sometimes the effects of it really take a toll on you mentally and physically. I was taking a strong medication that gave me terrible side effects and decided I wanted to go a more natural route. I found Siri and that was it!
    It's been 2 years now, and not only has she helped regulate my body, she helped regulate my life. Lol. She is kind, thoughtful, listens to any concerns I'm having, and genuinely cares about me and the treatment she's going to give me. It's grown from just my original health issues to back pain, allergies, and more. She's dealt with all of it and I leave feeling amazing. She's the best!!! Thank you for all you do for me Siri!

    I started seeing Leigh about a year ago for my back problems and I'm sad to say that I will miss her because I'm moving to New York! She is the best. Great at listening to your problems and asking the right questions, while also giving ya some great advice. The space is clean, inviting and very relaxing. Every time I went for a session, I would fall asleep because I was so relaxed. Highly recommend acupuncture!

    Leigh is a beautiful incredible needle witch with powers above and beyond ;) Seriously though, Leigh has helped me incredibly with immense stress, back pain, neck pain, and immunity. The location is easy to get to with fairly easy to find parking, the space is extremely warm and inviting, and Leigh is genuine and kind and super sincere. If you've never tried acupuncture, I hope this can be your first stop in, they will take excellent care of you :) You will be hooked! Thank you EAC for all you do, you are so appreciated! #EssentialAcupunctureChicago #EAC #AcupunctureLove #EACLove
