Personalized care for patients who are:

 

🏃 Athletes + Active People Whether you're training for your next race or just trying to stay consistent, injuries and overuse don't have to sideline you for long. Acupuncture,  Motor Point work, and soft tissue therapies help you recover faster, move better, and get back to doing what you love.

🌿 Women Navigating Their Health Hormonal shifts, painful periods, irregular cycles, mood changes, exhaustion that won't quit — all usually tangled up with digestion complaints and nervous system dysregulation. Chinese medicine has centuries of wisdom treating Gynecology concerns.

💛 People Living With Chronic Pain When you've tried everything and nothing has stuck, it's time for a different approach. One that looks at the whole picture — not just where it hurts, but why. That's what we do here.

What Patients Are Saying:

Hi, I'm Raechel. I'm genuinely glad you found my site, and hope we get to meet.

I am a Nationally Board Certified Acupuncturist, Herbalist and lover of problem solving. My goal is to solve the issue you are coming in for, then you can move on to the next thing life throws at you. Not everyone loves needles, but most love problems going away.

If you are navigating pain, managing chronic health issues, or just want to build a stronger, more resilient body, you are in the right place.

I utilize Acupuncture, Electro-Acupuncture, Dry needling and other soft tissue therapies such as Cupping and Gua Sha to resolve pain and get you back to your life.

 

Additional expertise in herbal medicine addresses the root of internal health issues, resolving the underlying patterns that keep you from feeling your best. Think life long cycle related issues, digestion that is a mess, and disorders that have liver involvement.

Top Three Questions
People Ask:

I tackled a few more complex ones in video below and in FAQ's section 

Does acupuncture hurt? Most patients are genuinely surprised by how comfortable acupuncture is. You may feel a brief sensation — a light ache or warmth — but pain is not the goal or the experience. Motor Point Needling involves a brief muscle response that passes quickly. The overall treatment is deeply relaxing for most people.

How many sessions will I need? It depends on how long you've been dealing with the issue and its complexity. Acute concerns often respond within 3–6 sessions. Chronic conditions take more time — and I'll always give you an honest, realistic timeline at your first visit.

Do you take insurance? I don't bill insurance directly, but many PPO plans include acupuncture reimbursement. HSA and FSA cards are warmly welcomed. I'm happy to provide a superbill for out-of-network submission.

Acupuncture + Electroacupuncture Precise, targeted needling to address pain, inflammation, hormonal balance, and nervous system regulation. The foundation of everything we do.

Motor Point Needling A specialized technique that resets muscle function at the neurological level — particularly effective for sports injuries, chronic tension, and movement restrictions.

Herbal Medicine Custom-formulated herbal prescriptions tailored to your specific pattern. Supporting what needles can't reach — hormones, digestion, immunity, sleep, and more.

 

Cupping + Gua Sha Time-tested soft tissue therapies that release deep tension, improve circulation, and help your body process what it's been holding.

 

Customized Long Term Care Plans  - this is my favorite. Big Goals. Creating a structured plan. Seeing it through.

Cosmetic Acupuncture + Microneedling Natural facial rejuvenation that works with your body's own healing capacity. Improved skin texture, tone, and radiance — no injectables needed.

"Wherever the art of Medicine is loved, there is also a love of humanity."
