Essential Elements Essex Jct Vt - Essex Junction, Vermont

I consider myself to be a pretty healthy person overall, so it was a shock when I learned I have Hashimoto’s disease. Despite my best efforts to manage it myself for several months, my TSH levels were not coming down. When I met Leslie and learned that she combines Chinese medicine with functional medicine, I was intrigued and hopeful.

From our first visit, I felt totally supported. What’s impressed me most is that Leslie takes a holistic approach to my health. Unlike other providers, she’s taken the time to dig into the root causes of my issues. In my personalized treatment plan, Leslie and I have added targeted herbs and supplements, and made adjustments to my diet, lifestyle, and exercise routines. By combining Chinese medicine massage with functional medicine testing, we were able to bring my TSH levels down by a whole point! I’ve also noticed improvements in my energy levels and emotional stability.

As a result of working together, I am more attuned to my body, more empowered in working with other healthcare practitioners, and, most importantly, I believe that I can heal. I would totally recommend Leslie to anyone who is suffering from any ailment where the best Western medicine can offer them is a pill.

Leslie offers a transformational and therapeutic healing experience with Chinese medical massage and essential oils. The massage style is light, but the effects are deep. Leslie’s extensive education in essential oils, 5 Element, meridian theory and acupressure provide her with the skills and ability to feel imbalances in the body and adjust the massage to my specific needs. After each treatment I leave feeling deeply relaxed and have less discomfort than when I arrived. I highly recommend treatments with Leslie!

Leslie offers a massage like no other I’ve had. She has a gentle touch that is less about deep muscle work (though you’ll leave with your muscles and whole body feeling mighty content) and more about noticing how your body is. She then takes what she notices and helps you understand more about your body and overall health. Every treatment I’ve had has been customized (cupping, gua sha, specially selected essential oils) to help me stay healthy and feel my best. I highly recommend Leslie for her deep knowledge and her exceptionally caring and helpful treatments.

Leslie is a wonderful practitioner. She draws from a wealth of knowledge that she has acquired from a variety of sources and modalities. She synthesizes her wisdom to create magical, nourishing and very beneficial treatments. She has helped me through many aches and pains of varying sorts. I highly recommend Leslie Chadwell at Essential Elements.

I was surprised by the takeaways from Leslie’s massage. I don’t often get a massage because it doesn’t typically help me relax and I’m not one to prioritize myself. Not only did I feel at ease, I felt listened to, cared for and felt it to be a good use of my time. She provided me with insight into what my body was saying, signs of different things... I left with tips and ideas on circulation, kidney/spleen health, and more. As someone who believes strongly in all parts working together, I felt this to be of tremendous value:) Highly recommend her insights and care.

Leslie is knowledgeable and proficient at Asian therapeutic massage (amma/tui-na and shiatsu) and also in treatments using essential oils. She listens so well and is generous of spirit and with her time, going above and beyond what I would expect of a provider. She is always ready to share and demonstrates genuine concern for her patients/clients. I gladly recommend her to anyone seeking Asian bodywork therapy or essential oil treatment for better health.

I've been going to Leslie for years! She has been great and I really feel the progress we have made on my health. Really easy to communicate with her and she always responds to any questions or concerns you have. She is very good at diagnosing issues even when I have no idea how to describe what's going on!

Leslie is an exception practitioner and considers the whole body during her treatments as well as offering a wide range of modalities and techniques. As a health care professional, I will be confident in sending patients to her office knowing they will be very well taken care of!
