Esoteric Acupuncture – Santa Fe
Esoteric Acupuncture is an expanded system of healing that integrates various spiritual and scientific disciplines. Esoteric Acupuncture emphasizes wellness versus merely addressing disease or physical imbalances.
Dr. Leah Collins, DOM offers esoteric acupuncture in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Leah does not accept insurance, and all services are out-of-pocket payments.
What is Esoteric Acupuncture?
Esoteric Acupuncture integrates various disciplines, including:
- The Hindu Nadi System
- Ayurvedic Chakra System
- Sacred Geometry
- The Qabbalistic Tree of Life
- Traditional Chinese Medicine
- High Vibration Nutrition
Within these healing traditions, the root cause of most physical health concerns is believed to originate from disturbances within the subtle energy body, encompassing the mind, emotions, and beyond. Esoteric Acupuncture works on bringing these imbalances back into alignment, allowing the individual to become increasingly aware of where they have been creating and holding blockages on this subtle level.

Connect to Higher Spiritual Energy
Esoteric Acupuncture is used to establish a strong and harmonious connection with the higher spiritual realms. When we can consciously connect to these higher energy fields, we begin to view our imbalances in a different light. The ultimate goal of Esoteric Acupuncture can be defined as working towards a state of self-actualization; assisting the person in reaching a higher level of consciousness and awareness of their emotions, thoughts, spiritual path, and purpose.

How does it work?
Esoteric Acupuncture works on an extremely subtle level of finer frequencies, using special geometrical patterns and sequences of needle insertion that trigger the opening of spin points. These are inter-dimensional openings through which sound-light vibrations from the higher-dimensional network can enter the physical body through the acupuncture points, accelerating the spin of cell molecules and causing the formation of light micro-fibrils within the cells. The Esoteric Acupuncture patterns, therefore, reorganize the patternings on every level of our being from consciousness down to the physical body, giving us access to deeper states of meditation and communion with the Divine, as well as emotional tranquility, mental calm, and radiant health, as the root of all disease, disconnection from our higher self, is removed.
What can I expect?
After an esoteric treatment, you may feel more peaceful, clear, and loving. If there is something in your life that is causing stress, you may gain a clearer understanding of the issue and know how to address it. After a treatment, you can find yourself in a space of knowing your inner truth, and you will be able to act on it from a place of love, rather than anger, grief, or confusion. The effects last a few weeks, although they vary from person to person, depending on their diet and outlook on life. To prolong the benefits of the treatments, it is best to maintain a very pure diet and an active, healthy, and positive lifestyle. Having a treatment will actually motivate you to do this. You may wear loose clothing for the session. If you prefer to experience tuning forks or other forms of non-invasive point activation, this is also an option.
Health Enhancement
Many schools of thought in alternative medicine suggest that all physical ailments have their origin in one of the higher energy structures. Disharmonies exist there before the illness ever manifests in your physical body. Esoteric Acupuncture can be used alone or in combination with conventional acupuncture to treat a variety of physical, mental, and emotional illnesses. Suppose you suspect there are unknown mental, emotional, or spiritual components to your illness and have tried other methods of treatment without success. In that case, Esoteric Acupuncture may be the means of helping you find and correct the actual root cause and restore your health.

Dr. Leah Collins
Hi, I’m Leah,
I have been nationally board-certified and practicing acupuncture since 2009 and am honored to have supported hundreds of clients in finding greater peace, balance, and healing through this powerful medicine.
As part of my academic training at Southwestern Acupuncture College, I completed a six-week externship at a World Health Organization research hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam. There, I treated patients daily, collaborated with seasoned staff physicians, and studied traditional Vietnamese herbal medicine. This immersive experience deepened my understanding of how traditional practices are integrated into modern healthcare systems.
Early in my studies, I developed a strong interest in the role of acupuncture in addiction recovery. While in school, I completed specialized training through the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) to become an AcuDetox Specialist. Since then, I’ve found great meaning in working with individuals on their recovery journeys and have gone on to supervise and train many new AcuDetox Specialists in New Mexico.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked in diverse clinical environments while maintaining a private practice. Most recently, I spent nearly 13 years practicing in a busy, insurance-based integrative medical clinic in Santa Fe. In addition, my professional development has included extensive travel throughout China, where I have had the opportunity to experience firsthand how traditional Chinese medicine is woven into daily life and culture.
I’ve completed thousands of hours of continuing education, with a strong focus on psycho-emotional and spiritual health, as well as women’s health. In 2012, I undertook advanced training in Esoteric Acupuncture with its founder, Dr. Mikio Sankey. This unique approach blends principles of Traditional Oriental Medicine with elements of the Kabbalah, chakra system, and sacred geometry. Dr. Sankey beautifully articulates the essence of this work:
“The power of acupuncture is to harmonize and strengthen the body systems before a disease stage, but the power of Esoteric Acupuncture is to work with expanding consciousness and strengthen the root, which is our Higher, Inner Spiritual Heart Center.” – Dr. Mikio Sankey.

Akashic Readings & Esoteric Acupuncture
Why Book a Combination Akashic Reading & Acupuncture Session?
A combination session blends the insight of an Akashic Records reading with the deep, physical support of acupuncture—creating a powerful and complementary healing experience.
We begin with the Akashic reading, where information and energy from your guides and teachers help illuminate the root causes of your current challenges, patterns, or questions. This guidance not only offers clarity but also informs the acupuncture treatment that follows. Your Akashic Team helps me understand the unique energy pathways and imbalances in your body, allowing the acupuncture to be more targeted and effective.
Often, the themes that arise during a reading—whether emotional, spiritual, or physical—can be directly supported through acupuncture. In this way, the treatment amplifies and integrates the healing initiated during the reading.
Your Akashic Records remain open throughout the entire session, so I can continue to receive and share messages from your guides during the acupuncture portion. The result is a session that works on all levels: energetic, emotional, physical, and spiritual.
