Leech Therapy

Medicinal leech therapy applies FDA-approved, medical-grade leeches that naturally release beneficial compounds into a targeted area, which may help support circulation and the body's natural recovery process.

Yes. We work only with medical-grade leeches in a clean, professional environment, and we go over your health history before each session to confirm the service is right for you.

Because leeches release a mild natural numbing agent when they attach, most people feel very little — usually just light pressure or a faint tingle.

Most appointments run between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated and your personal plan, and your therapist stays with you throughout.

Once the session ends, we clean the area and give you clear aftercare steps. A little temporary redness or bruising can happen and is completely normal.

How many visits you'll want depends on your own goals — we'll map out a plan tailored to you during your consultation.

Leeches react poorly to artificial fragrances and product residue, so please come with clean, natural skin — skip scented lotions, perfumed washes, and cosmetics on the treatment area beforehand. This helps the session go smoothly.

Yes — it isn't suitable for everyone. Let us know before booking if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have low blood pressure, a bleeding disorder, arterial insufficiency, or a serious underlying condition. If you're unsure whether it's appropriate for you, call us first and we'll talk it through.

No — as a wellness service, leech therapy isn't covered by insurance, and payment is due at your appointment. Feel free to reach out with any questions about pricing or session options.
