Testimonials

Leanne helped me through one of the most challenging times in my life. Faced with a rare autoimmune condition that required imminent surgery, my body and mind were unwell. Leanne provided me a level of care that you aren't able to find often-- she supported my physical body and mind through TCM/acupuncture, as well as my spirit. Her extensive knowledge in all forms of healing provided me with many alternative options for finding my health again-- frequency healing, herbal medicines, and the power of thought, to list some. With her guidance and treatment approach, I was able to put my disease into remission and become my best self. I truly believe I would not have found my health again, without her help.

I decided to get ahold of an acupuncturist cause everything I tried in the past was just not working. I have tried medical Botox, pills and those just made me sick. In January 2024 I started seeing Leanne and she was different than any other person I ever have seen in the past, she made sure she asked me a lot about me and what I was wanting to achieve with doing acupuncture. I have had several treatments and my headaches have subsided and my body just feels better. My mind and body feels like it’s actually working together instead of fighting me. I hope to continue to work with her, try to get off medicine I have been taking for years for acid reflux and try the natural way to feel better.

My goodness, what a blessing Leanne has been. She has helped me in ways I didn't even know were possible. My greatest spiritual awakening was in 2019. Since then I have been on the hardest journey of my life: returning to my truth. I'm sensitive to energy and the emotions of others; I have been my whole life. Not once did I ever imagine that I didn't have the tools to navigate such murky waters. I booked an appointment with Leanne; a combination of acupuncture and Reiki. I could feel an overwhelming amount of stuck energy in my body. It didn't matter how I tried to cleanse my energy field, whatever it was, just kept coming back. My first session with Leanne was amazing. Her energy is so loving and inviting. When we were done, I felt so much lighter. For the first time ever I felt like I had a suit of armour on. For the first time ever, I understood what it meant to be loving and still protect myself. Since then, I've learned to immediately identify stress in my body and consciously let it go. Protecting myself is still a work in progress, but I'm learning with the help of Leanne. I could go on and on, but I'll stop there and leave you with this. We are all healing from things we have no idea we need to heal from. Our wounds and traumas, when not dealt with, cause illness in the body. Leanne is someone who can help with this.

ABOUT DOVETAIL WELLNESS CO.

Hi, I'm Leanne

I have been working within the health and wellness industry for nearly two decades. It has been a winding road and I have shifted course many times, from Kinesiology to Nursing to organizational wellness to Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. The more I learn, the more I discover there is yet to learn and I am continually fascinated by the body and this human experience!

My personal health journey has also bought me many learning opportunities. Different environments have really shown me the relationship between our outer world and inner wellbeing. Not always fun, but nevertheless illuminating. Many times I felt as if my body was working against me. I have navigated panic attacks and anxiety, debilitating and unpredictable digestive distress, migraines, insomnia, menstrual cycle irregularities and chronic tension. Ever a work in progress! Being in better connection and relationship with my body allows me to maintain a more balanced state and be more engaged in life.

For years I have held the dream of creating a wellness service and now am at a place where I have the resources to bring it to fruition. Inspired by the dovetail joint in Japanese woodworking - often a combination of dark and light woods that interlock just so to provide structure and support. Like yin and yang there is an inherent strength and complimentary action in the design. They come together to form a whole and require each other to be complete. When applied to wellness I see it as bringing things together to foster peace and harmony, healing and wholeness. Dovetail Wellness feels like my soul sanctuary. It is a space that offers refuge, peace, connection and opportunity for healing. I hope you will find it does the same for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body to promote blood and energy flow, relax the nervous system, regulate immune and hormone function, promote pain relief and support the body's innate capacity for healing. It is a safe and non-invasive approach that can alleviate symptoms of various physical and mental health conditions and enhance overall well-being.

  • Yes! Acupuncture is a regulated health profession and is covered through your health benefits and/or health spending account. Dovetail Wellness Co. does not currently offer direct billing. Detailed receipts are provided immediately so you can easily submit for coverage.

  • All new clients start with an initial appointment. This includes a comprehensive health assessment to allow for a holistic understanding of what you are experiencing. This depth of assessment allows for more targeted treatments and better outcomes. Treatments are delivered on a massage table and you can either wear loose & comfortable clothing or undress to your level of comfort as you would in a massage. I offer a gentle style of treatment, most clients report minimal discomfort. Some mild sensation may be felt upon insertion of the needle but I work with you to ensure you are comfortable the whole time.
