Melinda Leeson, DOM.
(Doctor of Oriental medicine)
My passion for holistic health care began early in my life as I tried to manage the health problems of my beloved pets using only natural methods. I began studying classical homeopathy with Louis Klein (FSHom) and Jeremy Sherr (FSHom) while at the same time pursuing an AS degree in Veterinary Technology at St. Petersburg Jr. College. I graduated and earned Florida board certification in 1997. I continued my homeopathic post-graduate studies with Jayesh Shah, MD., and most recently Rajan Sankaran, MD., and Massimo Mangialavori, MD.
As it turned out, the owners of the pets I helped wanted natural health care for themselves as well, and urged me to enroll in a school for traditional Chinese medicine. In 2000, I completed a master's degree from East-West College of Natural Medicine. Those same pet owners became my first patients when I opened Nature's Own Wellness in 2001. Every day furthers this exciting journey in service and healing.

I can not say enough about the difference I feel since I started seeing Dr. Melinda Leeson. I always knew there was something better than the norm and found it with Nature's Own and Dr. Leeson. From the change in diet, to the acupuncture and the Chinese herbs, add it all together and I feel so much better. I now have the knowledge I need to successfully continue down this path. I encourage anyone to take the step to Homeopathic and/or Acupuncture treatments. I honestly did not know I could feel this good and know I can still feel better!
