LEANNE MITCHELL
Dipl. L.Ac., MAOM, ES
Founder & Clinical Director, Acupuncture & Wellness of the Palm Beaches
Licensed Acupuncture Physician | Nationally Board-Certified Diplomate | Holistic Aesthetician
For more than two decades, Leanne Mitchell has devoted her career to the study and practice of integrative health, Traditional Chinese Medicine, women’s wellness, fertility, and holistic aesthetics. As the founder of Acupuncture & Wellness of the Palm Beaches, she has become a highly sought-after practitioner known for combining the depth of ancient medicine with sophisticated modern therapies to create highly individualized, results-driven care.
Leanne holds a Master’s degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture and a Bachelor’s degree in Health Science from the Atlantic Institute of Oriental Medicine and is a nationally board-certified Diplomate in Acupuncture through the National Certification Board for Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine (NCBAHM)
Her education, however, extends well beyond her formal degrees.
With more than 25 years of professional training and experience across healthcare, holistic medicine, women’s wellness, aesthetics, bodywork, and mind-body therapies, Leanne brings an unusually broad clinical perspective to her work. Her advanced training includes acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, herbal medicine, acupuncture injection therapy, aesthetic acupuncture, holistic aesthetics, massage and manual therapies, Arvigo Maya Abdominal Therapy, photobiomodulation, frequency-specific microcurrent, Reiki and Alchemy energy medicine, aromatherapy, as well as childbirth education and labor and postpartum doula care.
This multidisciplinary background has shaped the distinctive approach for which Leanne has become known: looking beyond an isolated symptom to understand the person as a whole.
A Sought-After Approach to Women's Health & Fertility
Women’s health has been at the heart of Leanne’s clinical work throughout her career. She has extensive experience supporting women through the many transitions of their reproductive lives — from menstrual and hormonal challenges to natural fertility, assisted reproductive technologies including IUI and IVF, pregnancy, birth preparation, postpartum recovery, perimenopause, and beyond.
Her early training and experience in birth work, childbirth education, and maternal wellness continue to influence the way she approaches women’s medicine today.
Leanne is particularly sought out by patients who have already explored conventional avenues yet still feel that an important piece of their health has been overlooked. Her work combines careful Chinese medical diagnosis with acupuncture, herbal and nutritional support, lifestyle guidance, and advanced therapeutic technologies to create treatment plans that are deeply personalized rather than protocol-driven.
Where Medicine Meets Aesthetics
Long before holistic beauty became a wellness trend, Leanne recognized that the health of the skin, face, and body could not be separated from what was happening internally.
Drawing upon her extensive background in both Chinese medicine and professional aesthetics, she has developed a distinctive approach to facial rejuvenation and skin health that addresses beauty from the inside out.
Her treatments may integrate aesthetic acupuncture, facial rejuvenation techniques, microcurrent, photobiomodulation, facial cupping, gua sha, botanical skincare, microneedling, nano-infusion, and other regenerative technologies to support healthy aging while preserving the natural character and expression of the face.
Rather than chasing perfection or relying exclusively on injectables, Leanne's philosophy is centered on helping patients look healthy, vibrant, rested, lifted, and unmistakably like themselves.
It is an approach that reflects one of the guiding principles of her career:
True beauty is an expression of health.
Ancient Medicine. Modern Innovation
Leanne is known for thoughtfully incorporating modern therapeutic technologies into the framework of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Depending upon the needs of the patient, her treatments may extend beyond acupuncture to incorporate herbal medicine, cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, acupuncture injection therapy, frequency-specific microcurrent, cold laser therapy, Firefly photobiomodulation, manual therapies, and other advanced wellness technologies.
Her philosophy is never to add technology simply because it is new. Every modality must serve a purpose within the larger treatment strategy.
The result is a style of medicine that is both deeply rooted in tradition and distinctly modern.
Beyond the Treatment Room
Leanne founded Acupuncture & Wellness of the Palm Beaches in Wellington, Florida, with a vision of creating something different from either a conventional medical office or a traditional spa.
Today, the practice brings together acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine, therapeutic technologies, bodywork, and holistic aesthetics within a highly personalized wellness environment.
Over the course of her career, Leanne's reputation has extended beyond South Florida, with individuals seeking her perspective and care both locally and from outside the region. Her work is especially valued by patients looking for a practitioner who can bridge multiple disciplines rather than viewing their health through a single lens.
She is also passionate about education and has spent years helping patients better understand their bodies, their health, and the connection between physical vitality, emotional well-being, longevity, and beauty.
Her Philosophy
Despite the breadth of her training, Leanne believes exceptional medicine begins with something remarkably simple:
Listen carefully
No two people arrive with the same history, physiology, stressors, goals, or life experiences. For that reason, Leanne does not believe in one-size-fits-all wellness.
Her treatment plans are intentionally individualized and may evolve as the patient's body changes. She combines clinical knowledge with decades of hands-on experience, careful observation, and an intuitive understanding of the subtle patterns that can easily be missed when healthcare becomes overly compartmentalized.
Her goal is not simply to manage symptoms.
It is to help patients understand their bodies, restore balance, build resilience, age with vitality, and feel genuinely well.
That philosophy continues to guide both Leanne's clinical practice and the evolution of Acupuncture & Wellness of the Palm Beaches.

Commitment to Excellence
After more than two decades devoted to holistic health and more than a decade building Acupuncture & Wellness of the Palm Beaches, Leanne remains as committed to learning as she was at the beginning of her career.
She continually studies emerging therapies, technologies, research, and approaches to integrative medicine while remaining firmly grounded in the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Her standard is simple: care should be personal, thoughtful, sophisticated, and worthy of the trust each patient places in her.
For Leanne, wellness is not about chasing trends. It is about understanding the body deeply enough to know when ancient medicine holds the answer, when modern innovation can enhance it, and how to bring the two together beautifully.
