I have seen many excellent acupuncturists in the last 10-15 years; Lesley is one of the best of those. We moved to Chicago in January 2015 and in my effort to get established with a whole new cadre of health care practitioners, I purchased Lesleys online coupon as a random shot in the dark. Im so glad I did. What I have found over the last three months of regular appointments is that Lesley continues to deeply contemplate my treatment plan in between sessions and presents me with new insights and options that always advance my progress by leaps and bounds. She is masterful with the needles, but she also has a broad range of other tools at her disposal: herbs, ultrasound, massage, tinctures, and more. She very naturally and generously uses them all to effect healing, and has helped me with menopausal issues, gastrointestinal issues, and intense foot pain. One day I arrived at the appointment with a huge bruise on my hand where I had smashed it in a car door. Without missing a beat, she applied an herbal poultice to it before going on to give me a regular needle treatment. The bruise was 90% gone within 2-3 days. I know it would otherwise have taken a couple of weeks to heal entirely. The icing on the cake is that Lesleys rates are very affordable, such that you can actually use her as a primary health and wellness practitioner rather than for occasional acute conditions. I recommend Lesley wholeheartedly.

Friday marked my first time doing acupuncture. Im confident that I came to the right place and had an ideal experience. Lesley was incredibly compassionate and its obvious she has a passion for what she does. She listens to you, and also your body, to make sure youre getting the best care. Ive had issues with my shoulder for years and this weekend I feel more like a normal person. She also provided guidance around leveraging acupuncture and a holistic approach to tackling a range of medical needs. I walked away feeling like a new person and Im excited to make regular appointments part of my overall wellness plan. Lesley is the best!

Im so fortunate to have met with Lesley. Ive struggled with an anxiety disorder that was very hard to deal with daily. My anxiety would cause my body to tense up immensely to the point where I had difficulty calming my breath, thinking clearly and would be led me to experience panic attacks. Honestly, I didnt know how much acupuncture was going to benefit me. I had my doubts. But I went to her feeling as if I had nothing to lose. I was willing to give it try. Its been a month since my 1st acupuncture session with her and I feel as if this was the best decision Ive made this year. I feel as if my batteries have been reset and I have a chance to easily be me again. Very , very grateful. Shes a very kind woman and Im sure many others love her as well!

I was diagnosed with severe osteoarthritis in my thumbs. The options given to me by my doctor was to buy $300 uncomfortable, clumsy hand braces or surgery. I actually tried the hand braces and they caused more pain. I thought I could just go about my normal life, but it was surprising how much we use our thumbs! I was becoming more and more limited due to the pain and swelling. I finally decided to try acupuncture and am so grateful that I found Lesley Heidrich. She is kind and extremely knowledgeable. She took so much time during my consultation to really get to the bottom of how my lifestyle could be affecting my pain. She was so thorough and gave me tips to try at home, both with nutrition and home remedies. And then the treatments. Lesley explained everything to me, and I was amazed at how relaxing it was. After three treatments, my swelling was completely gone. (I had been living with this for over two years! I thought this was going to be a permanent thing.) The best part, though, was that I was finally pain free! Ive continued the treatments with less frequency. I feel like I got my life back and am also more relaxed. An added bonus - the insomnia that Ive suffered from for years is gone. Since my first treatment, Ive been sleeping like a baby. If youve been on the fence about acupuncture, try it and do yourself a favor - make an appointment with Lesley Heidrich.

Awesome experience all around!! Lesley exudes an enthusiasm for acupuncture and healing that is both tangible and comforting. This was my first acupuncture experience, and I am planning to continue with it after such a great time. She made me feel comfortable by attentively listening to my physical and emotional needs, and she explained every step. I havent felt more relaxed and soothed in my life. I should also mention that she never made the process feel rushed, and she even spent extra time with me!

I was thrilled after my experience with Lesley. I had sleep and anxiety issues and went to see Leslie and after just a few times, she solved my issues! Lesley is fantastic and I definitely recommend her services. She is one of the best acupuncturists out there. Ive never felt so good in my life. She truly cares about your needs and your progress!

Lesley is the best. I signed up with Leslie after a LivingSocial advertisement a year ago. It has been over 14 months since I have been Leslies customer. She is extremely professional, knows her stuff and she goes out of her way to accommodate ones schedule. Leslies treatments are extremely effective.I have never felt better than how I feel now. This is the reason she has so many regulars. She cares about her patients immensely. I will recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone.

I had a great experience with Lesley! She is incredibly patient and spent a good deal of time trying to understand the reason for my visit. She has a calm and soothing presence. The acupuncture was very helpful and the massage was incredibly relaxing. I will definitely be returning to Lesley!

I wanted to wait a few days after my appointment before posting my review - mainly to see if acupuncture actually works. I had severe leg pain from sciatica for about 7 weeks before I went in to see Lesley. 3 days after my first treatment = major relief on my leg and not hobbling around. I know its a process and will take more visits before its back to normal but my pain went from a 9 out of 10 to a 3. Aside from that major plus, Lesley was easy-going, and very informative. Her positive energy throughout the process shows that she really cares about her job and the people that come to see her. Ill definitely recommend her to anyone. Thank you!

I had such an amazing experience with Lesley! I have never had acupuncture treatment before and she was so nice and walked me through everything. She is so knowledgable about her practice and was really able to pin point what would be best for my issues. She was also very personable and it was like chatting with a good friend. I will definitely be going back to her.

It had been awhile since my last session and I fallen into a state of fatigue where I was exhausted but couldnt seem to sleep. My stress levels had peaked. I called Leslie and explained what was going on and she immediately got me in and I feel so rested now I actually drifted off to sleep. I got more rest there then at my own home. Very relaxing atmosphere

Lesley,Is a fine Acupuncturist. She is very knowledgeable and has helped me with many conditions from back spasms to anxiety. And I love the needles she uses they are so thin; I can barely feel them yet so effective. I highly recommend her you need to see how effective these treatments will be for you. And her location in the loop works well with my schedule.

I have an extraordinarily high stress job, and seeing Lesley has been a gift. I can feel the actual difference before and after acupuncture in my body and emotions. I leave with such clarity and indisputable logic. I have literally tried everything, and Lesleys energy coupled with her knowledge of both eastern and western practices does the trick to the point where I have now claimed a permanent weekly spot in her schedule.

Lesley has made a huge difference for me after I suffered side effects from radiation and chemotherapy as well as job-related stress. She has a knowledgeable understanding of such medical treatments which proved to be most helpful and has a good understanding of the workings of the body. She is very thorough in explaining procedures as well as offering insight on what you can do to help yourself. Shes very open to listening to your needs and ideas for the right treatment. Shes been both caring and helpful.Lesley has been able to release tension and muscle tightness, bring circulation and flow to blocked areas, even bring final relief and recovery from a sinus cold which had lingered. Never having experienced acupuncture prior, but recommended by my doctors, Im now a firm believer in the benefits of and appreciate Lesleys conscientious practice.

Please be patient in getting your initial appointment scheduled. Believe me you, it is worth the wait.Lesley is patient and kind. She throughly explained every step to me as a first time patient and made sure to understand my physical and spiritual needs to personalize my visit.I cannot begin to communicate the relief that I have in my ELBOW and wrist just after one treatment. X marks the spot as Lesleys put it. Like, seriously...Im astonished. Ive been walking around with this constant ache for MONTHS and just like that... relief!As far as discomfort: I knew where I had needles in my body but felt such an overwhelming sense of relaxation they were no bother at all.

I dont know where to even start, first I wanted to mention I never write reviews only bad ones on restaurant service or food! But I just cant say how much I want to Thank Lesley for our lovely Acupuncture! it was my first time and I was very skeptical of this that it can really make a difference. our first session she asked me a lot of questions to get to know me better and what exactly my body needs that was wonderful that she did that. then I found out that I had more problems then I thought, the biggest thing I wanted to thank her is that she helped me to get rid of my eczema I had problems for couple months now and that went away just in one visit. also my digestion was very good after our visit and that was one of the things we worked as well. She is super nice super knowledge and knows what she is doing! I really hope she can help me with my sweets addiction and overeating! but really thank you Lesley!

As a new patient with an awful migraine, Lesley was able to see me the same day I called. I was impressed with her calm professional manner. She was able to reduce the pain so I could make it through the day with my migraine gone the next morning. I will definitely see Lesley again for all of my acupuncture needs!

Review №21

I went to see Lesley for a massage and acupuncture to ease the tension in my neck and shoulders. The pain in my neck and shoulders was keeping me from falling asleep and staying asleep through the night and stifling my creativity.Because Lesley took the time to listen to me, she was able to recommend a treatment plan and simple and affordable techniques I can use at home in between my sessions with her to keep the effects of stress on my body at bay. I was extremely concerned my sleeplessness from my discomfort was causing me to look and feel tired. Its like she waved a wand over me; using her suggestions, I am able to fall asleep and stay asleep during the night and manage my stress during the day to prevent tension from creeping back in.

I came to Lesley for a myriad of reasons. Depression and anxiety, chronic knee pain, as well as general stress. Since my first visit, my knee pain has gotten so much better and I am much more relaxed everyday. As a single mom, the time I spend is QUALITY time. I am much more present than I was. I look forward to many more visits in the future! She is such a blessing!

Lesley is an amazing healer. I was suffering from lots of chronic physical pain and I have tried lots of different natural ways to help ease the pain but I had never tried acupuncture. Lesley was very thorough in explaining what was going to take place during the session, answered all of my questions and made me feel very comfortable. The results were amazing! My physical pain has slowly been fading away and not only extremely increased my quality of daily life physically but to my surprise has helped my emotional well being and reduced my stress levels greatly. I would highly recommend Lesley to anyone. Thanks to her.

I consider myself fortunate to have found Lesley Heidrich via Groupon. Id always wanted to try acupuncture, but the thought of needles penetrating my skin kept me away. In 2014, I purchased a Groupon special and decided to confront my fears. Doing so has been one of the best decisions Ive made to date.Lesley was gentle, calming, humorous and kind. The needles turned out to be a non factor as I experienced no pain during the session. Did I mention she was gentle? I also loved the essential oils that Lesley used...various aromatic blends that heightened my experience. But the end part of the session was what sent me over the edge. Lesley had me turn on my stomach where she commenced to giving me a 10-minute back massage!I left feeling as if I was floating on wings...In short, I cant rave enough about Lesley Heidrich. From her magical and healing hands to her calming personality...I have become a repeat customer. And repeat customers really are the highest compliment you can pay someone. That and sharing the wonderful experience with loved ones.Ill end with this: when people ask me what Ive gotten out of my sessions with Lesley, I tell them plainly that I didnt go to her because I was experiencing any pain. I just went out of curiosity. But now, I continue to go because each session just feels so darn good!Treat yourself to Lesleys healing touch and you, too, will leave her office feeling like youve just had one of the best experiences of your life!

Wow, Lesley is wonderful and I feel so lucky to have found her. I have always been curious about acupuncture and interested in trying it, but hesitant not knowing what to expect or who to trust. I found Lesley through a Groupon deal and she has far exceeded my expectations of any healthcare provider. She is extremely thorough and knowledgeable about what she does and is also a wealth of information regarding other healthy life style choices and behaviors. The facility and experience are very calming and rejuvenating. There is zero pain involved in the needle placement and she takes her time to address all of your concerns and design a plan to best suit your needs. One thing in particular she has been helping me with is bringing oxygen and blood flow to my scalp to help facilitate hair regrowth. Couldnt be happier and look forward to my next visit.

Review №34

WOW! I never thought I would be one to try acupuncture because I have always had an issue with needles. Getting diagnosed with Cubital Tunnel Disorder made me realize I needed to do something fast to fix the problem. Instead of getting cortisone shots that were recommended by my MD, I thought I would try a natural way of healing. I purchased a Groupon for 6 sessions, which was more than a deal, and have used 3/6 so far. The sessions themselves have been helping me greatly with the pain in my arm as well as to help relax me on a busy day. And guess what?! The needles do not hurt! The first time I was very nervous and they may have felt tender, but if you just let Lesley work her magic, you will be set at ease and will have a great session everytime. She really cares about her patients and has on every occasion, remembered things that I have told her about my life and follows up on issues I have disclosed to her. Lesley is one of a kind and I hope to continue working with her into the foreseeable future!

As a single parent of an amazing child (who also has ASD & requires 110% of my cognitive & physical attention); living 1,200 miles from our family (a.k.a. support system); and trying my best at being a full-time college student with the hopes of providing better opportunities for my little family.... often times leaves me feeling exhausted & stressed-out, both mentally & physically... Im not trying to sound like a commercial & apologize if I do, but I recently discovered (what I feel is) a new secret power, Acupuncture!!! I had started to experience all sorts of constant pains and aches from my neck, shoulders, back, all the way down to my sciatic, I also had several headaches, could not sleep well, and had even secretly picked-up smoking to deal with my stress, (which I have now quit, thanks to Lesley!) depression & anxiety were also present, and slowly increasing. Lesley from Eastern Healing for Mind & Body, LLC patiently listen to me, answered all my questions, and provided exactly what my body & mind needed! Not to mention, she was very professional, genuinely took interest in healing my whole person, and was economically reasonable! If you live in Chicago, I highly recommend her!!
