First taught by my grandmother to help with my father's headaches, I have been doing massage all my life. I pursued it as a career after receiving prenatal massage while pregnant with my daughter. I offer a treatment that is holistic in nature - personally addressing body, mind and spirit - focusing on what the client needs when (s)he comes in. I use an integrated approach to massage seamlessly blending many modalities that I have learned throughout my many years of practice. I look forward to meeting you and working with you to achieve health and overall balance in your life.

Hi there! My name is Lesley Varone and I am glad you are here. I live by the belief that there is no such thing as a “good” or “bad” food, they are simply different.

With experience working in clinical dietetics, nutrition education, and eating disorder treatment, I've seen just how important a good nutritional foundation is for our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. I see clients via Telehealth in my virtual practice to help with various concerns such as eating disorders and disordered eating, stress management, pregnancy and postpartum nutrition, family nutrition (from introducing solids to picky eaters to growth and development), intuitive eating, health concerns (stress, cardiac issues, blood sugar management, etc.), or just a desire to improve overall health and well-being.

Are you struggling to stay awake during the day, but wide awake at night? Is your digestion sluggish and causing you to feel bloated? Do you just feel unwell? As a licensed naturopathic physician and clinical nutritionist, I can get you back on track. If you are like most of my patients you have not one, but many health concerns. Whether you have a chronic illness that has not improved, would like to optimize your health or even focus on prevention, I will draw on my medical training to get you to your best self.

The diet that is right for you has no name. I know you’ve tried everything because I was you. It was not until I stopped working against my body that I learned I was in control of how good I could feel. I also know you don’t feel well. No one seems to understand why you’d rather stay home, or why it takes you so long to get ready. You don’t recognize yourself anymore. You’re tired of waiting for answers. Most importantly, you just want to feel normal again.

I believe that everyone deserves to have a basic understanding of nutrition, and my goal is to help clients meet their individual nutritional needs and set realistic, achievable goals. I understand that improving health is about more than just “knowing what to do,” and that seeing me is often not your first step towards better health. Part of working with me is identifying and helping you overcome past and present obstacles in order to create lasting lifestyle changes.

What I love about Five Element style acupuncture is that it helps to get at the root of long standing problems. Whether you are dealing with chronic pain, eating disorders, relationship issues, deep seated fear, anger issues, prolonged grief, feelings of isolation and sadness, all these things can be worked with with Five Element acupuncture. Though you may not think of acupuncture for emotional or mental issues, in Chinese Medicine they are not separate. Usually it is the emotional component that is the key to unlocking the physical manifestation of illness. This is deep and lasting healing.

I specialize in helping adults with sports/performance nutrition, mindful eating, and balanced lifestyle habits.

My coaching style as informative, positive, and supportive in a judgement-free environment. I provide my clients with ongoing support in reaching their nutrition and health goals.

Are you having bladder issues? Hot flashes, mood swings? Back pain? Anxiety? Do you need support, a listening ear and a natural solution? If your goal is to get your health under control without surgery, invasive procedures or medication, then you have found your alternative medicine home. If the consequences of surgery and medications make you frightened, then you need a safe and nurturing alternative.

Do you feel like you’ve tried “everything” but you still aren’t losing weight? You hit the gym regularly and eat healthy but still don’t look like you workout? Do you struggle with constipation, acne, bloating, or other hormonal or digestive symptoms but your doctor tells you all of your lab results “look normal”? Do you feel like there’s SO much mixed information online that you have no clue what to eat to be healthy? That ends here.

I believe in using food not just to fuel, but to heal. Building a strong nutritional foundation is the first step of preventing or managing chronic disease, behavior health, pain management, and inflammation. Feeling unmotivated, bloated, agitated, or even feeling congested can be side affects of issues in your gut! As a registered dietitian nutritionist practicing evidence-based medical nutrition therapy in a holistic way, I will collaborate with you to customize a wellness plan that best fits your needs. It is my goal to educate, counsel, and empower those who feel ready to start their wellness journey.
