About Serenity Healing and Wellness

Serenity Healing and Wellness is owned and founded by Amy Leonard, NCCAOM Certified MA Licensed Acupuncturist. Offering holistic healing services, including Chinese and Japanese styles of acupuncture, Dolphin Neurostim (microcurrent point stimulation), and red light therapy.

Serenity also offers a 435-square-foot, open-floor studio. The studio is used to offer an assortment of classes, educational opportunities, and “fun”ctions to further support our clientele. This empowers you to explore and learn more about your body and ways to improve your overall health and quality of life, while throwing in a little bit of fun too!

Serenity Healing & Wellness also offers access to a variety of like-minded holistic practitioners, who utilize alternative approaches to medicine, to provide a healing, educational community to those who seek a more natural path to health and wellness.

Our commitment to holistic healing means that we don’t see you as just a disease, an illness, an injury, or a problem to be solved; we see ALL of you!

It’s a WHOLE-istic approach to healing.

Illness, injury, pain, and suffering aren’t born from a single source. They are physical signs of disharmony, alerting you that your body needs help. At Serenity, our approach to healing looks not only at what’s in front of us physically, but also at connecting your emotional, spiritual, and social well-being too.

Please, go and explore the services we offer and the amazing practitioners who provide them. We are more than just a group of practitioners; we are a collaboration, a community, working together to maximize all opportunities to get you healthy and on your journey to wellness.

If you are a wellness practitioner and would like to talk with someone about joining our team, teaching a class, hosting an event, or using our studio space, please get in touch with us.

I started my journey with acupuncture when my daughter was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety and Panic Disorder at age 9. I had concerns about medicating her at such a young age, wondering what it would do to her growth and development, not only physically but primarily emotionally. I worried that, if medicated, she wouldn’t find a way to understand her anxiety nor learn tools to help manage it. We tried a few different approaches but everything seemed to exasperate her anxiety rather than make it better. A friend recommended acupuncture. She knew an acupuncturist who traveled to a pediatric clinic once a month to give kids treatments for anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, etc. I thought, acupuncture? Sure, why not!

Acupuncture literally changed my daughter’s life (and mine!) Regular acupuncture treatments coupled with changes in her diet, monitored by a naturopathic doctor, transformed my daughter from a frightened, terrified, sleepless little girl to happy, joyful, rested and relaxed young lady. She learned tools and techniques to help manage anxiety pop ups at home, but perhaps most importantly, she learned what triggered the anxiety and panic, how it felt in her body and how to slowly walk her way back to a state of relaxation and calmness.

Those lessons would prove invaluable for both us - for my daughter, as she grew, matured, went away to college, completed college, traveled the world and is now adulting her own way through life as an entrepreneur. For me, as I faced a whole decade of new physical challenges and a level of pain, I never knew was possible. What I learned from my daughter was that its OK to feel…to understand what’s going on in your body. Don’t fear it. Instead, embrace it, visit with it, dissect it, make a connection to it and then…slowly, walk your way back to a state of relaxation and calmness and then forward into wellness. This is the principle I have embraced in my body, my life, in my interactions with others and in my practice.

Acupuncture had played such an integral role in helping my daughter and I find our way back to wellness that I thought, “This is it - this is what I want to do”. I went back to school, full time, at the age of 45, and received my Master of Acupuncture Degree. I can not use enough words to describe how I feel about the endless wonders and healing properties of Chinese medicine and acupuncture. Make no mistake, Acupuncture is medicine, just not in the form we are used to seeing in Western culture. I would love the opportunity to explore the challenges you face in your life. Let’s take a look at them, dissect them, understand them and then together, let’s find a way to slowly walk into a new journey of healing and wellness together.
