Meet The Acupucturists

Joan helps restore whole-body health. She combines acupuncture and herbs, with compassion and humor, to create a comfortable healing environment. Together, we’ll look beyond your symptoms to discover the best path to your true self.

Good acupuncture depends as much on rapport as it does on experience and know-how. For a harmonious connection between patient and practitioner offers valuable insight into a patient’s dreams as well as fears.

Rapport plays a key role in boosting a person’s motivation for vibrant health, and in crumbling any resistance to the changes that are required for deep healing.

Nicole

Born in Puerto Rico to a family of doctors, Nicole has a natural inclination to help others. After finishing her undergrad in biology in her home country, she moved to the States in 2012 to study traditional Chinese medicine in Florida at East West College of Natural Medicine.

Being the lifelong learner she is, she graduated at the top of her class with a master’s degree in Oriental Medicine and continued on to get certified in cold laser therapy and acupuncture point injection therapy. She is licensed in South Carolina by the SC Board of Medical Examiners and is nationally board certified in Biomedicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Acupuncture.

Nicole joined our team in 2018 and we cannot be more thrilled! Her bright, yet grounded spirit simply adds to the healing you receive during treatment. She also acts as a wonderful liaison to our spanish-speaking community.

In her free time, Nicole loves to spend time in nature, curling up with a good book and playing records of her favorite music.
