Lesley Johnsen has opened MindfulLIFE acupuncture at 99 E. Virginia Ave., Suite 170. In practice since 2009, Johnsen offers Traditional Chinese acupuncture, based on the “Five-Element” model, so named for the elements of nature: wood, fire, Earth, metal and water. She said this type of acupuncture “spends a lot of time seeking the root causes of a malady from a spiritual level.”
Johnsen said acupuncture provides many health benefits, including pain management and resolution of digestive disturbances, migraines, allergies, insomnia and immune function problems. Johnsen said it also provides psycho-spiritual support and enhances fertility.
The initial treatment session lasts about 90 minutes and includes a physical exam, a comprehensive review of health history and acupuncture for $120. Subsequent sessions last about one hour and cost $85. Johnsen offers a 10-percent discount for pre-paid treatment packages that provide three sessions and a 15-percent reduction in costs for pre-paid packages of five sessions. A sliding scale is available for fees for those who need it.
MindfulLIFE acupuncture is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesdays to Fridays and from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays. To make an appointment, visit mindfullifeacupuncture.com or call 480-717-7838.
