Hi there! I’m Lea Manilla, owner of Better Days Wellness. I am a Licensed Acupuncturist and have been actively practicing since 2020. I attended Pacific College of Health and Sciences in NYC, where I graduated with a double masters in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine.

I am a Jersey girl through and through, being born and raised there and spending majority of my life in the Garden State. My husband, a Fairport native, and I met in Hoboken where we lived for 7 years. Since then, we have found our way back to his roots, and now I love to call Rochester home.

I found acupuncture myself at 15 years old. As a competitive swimmer, I suffered from rotators cuff tendinitis in my shoulder, threatening my career. Not only did acupuncture heal my injury, it opened up new possibilities for both current performance and future passion. As I witnessed the benefits first-hand, I developed a deep love for the practice. Since then, I have worked diligently to achieve my dream and welcome others to the world of healing and Chinese Medicine.

My hope for Better Days Wellness is to provide a safe haven for everyone who walks through my door. I want to spread the magic of acupuncture, as it is an invaluable support in helping us to achieve supreme health and well-being so we can live our most joyful lives. Your journey to wellness starts here, with better days ahead!
