Hi, I’m Dr. Nicole. I specialize in treating the mind, body, and spirit through ancient techniques and modern science. Through a combination of acupuncture, moxibustion, herbal medicine, cupping, and other techniques, I treat a variety of disorders, focusing on facial rejuvenation, menstrual health, pain, and stress management.

EDUCATION & CREDENTIALS:
I received my BS in Biology, with an emphasis in Human Physiology from University of California San Diego. I then went on to get my Masters of Traditional Oriental Medicine from Emperor's College, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude. While getting my masters, I also completed a certification program in Classical Five Elements Acupuncture, working directly under Neil Gumenick as his clinical intern. I then went on to achieve my doctorate, focusing my capstone research on herbal medicine for for primary dysmenorrhea (period pain). I am licensed by the state of California to practice acupuncture and a Diplomate of Oriental Medicine through NCCAOM. I am a faculty member at the Institute of Classical Five Elements Acupuncture and currently serving as an associate at Mother Nurture Wellness, under fertility expert Laura Erlich.

WOMEN’S HEALTH INITIATIVES:
In 2019, I co-founded Elix, which aims to make proven and effective herbal medicine for menstrual health accessible to all by bringing the process of seeing a qualified practitioner online. Check it out: elixhealing.com
