Our Philosophy
Rather than focusing on symptoms, we use holistic healing to treat the root causes of your issues.
We believe the key for successful healthcare treatment lies at the intersection of the arts and sciences. Our unique integrative wellness center combines ancient healing wisdom with modern evidence-based practices.
Every plan is customized to address your internal landscape and what is most important to you. Our initial assessment determines which part of your person – mind, body, and/or spirit – is most in need of tending.

“I booked a cupping and acupuncture session. I have never experienced cupping before. But I was put at ease as soon as we sat down to talk about what I was hoping to achieve. My 90 minute consult, cupping and acupuncture session was pure bliss. I highly recommend treating yourself to a session.”
– Debra P.
“I went for my first ever acupuncture session at The Center. First of all, being in the middle of the city, it is a beautiful serene space. The treatment was gentle, mindful and I felt really relaxed (and almost transported) afterwards. My chronic headache that I’ve had for 3 weeks is gone!“
– ANITA J.
“Wonderful practitioners! I have had acupuncture treatments for various issues and am always pleased with the results. They have successfully treated problems that western medicine did not.“

“After one session of acupuncture and cupping I am able to move my neck. She is a great listener and she has great ideas. I appreciated the way she let me choose whether or not to try something, as I had never had cupping. I recommend her without reservation.“
– ELIZABETH H.
“Leila-Scott and The Center have built a wonderful practice in acupuncture. She is so trustworthy and makes me feel safe in the care I am receiving as well as the confidentiality of the information I share. I highly recommend Leila-Scott and her practice. Knowledge, honesty and integrity is what her practice is all about.“
– KRISTEN N.
“It was my second time to try acupuncture but this experience was totally different. The consultation was supportive and covered all aspects of my health and nutrition. During the acupuncture treatment, I felt the energy in my body change and realign, and the next day, my posture is better and energy level higher.”
– FRANK F.
“Leila-Scott Mitchell is an excellent practitioner of Chinese medicine and possesses a deep understanding of western medicine as well. Her very integrative approach to wellness and her individual approach to each of her patients is a gift from which each patient (at least this one) profits greatly. I recommend her unequivocally!“
