Services
The first visit takes 90 minutes. This includes an intake related to your sleep, diet, and exercising routines, water intake, medications, supplements, surgeries, bodily functions and anything else that you may find relevant to treatment. It is recommended to wear comfortable clothing and be well hydrated.
Cancellations must be made during clinic office hours at least 24 hours prior to the appointment. Otherwise the patient is responsible for the full price of the service selected. Any person who arrives more than 15 minutes late will be also be charged for a missed appointment and will be requested to reschedule.
How we rest often determines our ability to be proactive and flexible in future. If stress is burning you out, you are not alone. Strained work or personal relationships often lead to fatigue, anxiety, jaw pain, neck pain, digestive issues, and insomnia. Over a chronic period of time, six months or more, stress has the ability to create neurological damage.
At some point each one of us will experience some form of physical pain. It is normal. However, when tension turns into muscular strain or pain, you can turn to preventative care to reduce or release a block naturally. If you who are looking for an alternative to pain medications that has no negative side effects, acupuncture is a safe, non-invasive procedure that can help.

Several years ago I had acupuncture treatments before and after two different knee surgeries. Those sessions greatly enhanced both my surgical preparation and recovery. Unfortunately the acupuncturist I saw is no longer in DC.
Starting about 6 months ago, I developed several new and unexpected conditions. Medical treatments have stabilized them but not fully addressed resolution. Fortunitely, after a bit of research, I found Nicole and felt comfortable and confident after our first session.

I have enjoyed working with Nicole to help me navigate total body care as I've dealt with conception, through my pregnancy, preparing for labor induction, and postpartum care. Nicole's approach is holistic and really helpful in meeting me where I am and focusing on my health goals. Nicole is an incredibly compassionate provider and I have really enjoyed working with her over the years.

Acupuncture treatment with Nicole has been a critical pillar of my postpartum recovery. Her work targeting my energy levels, core rebalancing, and myriad aches and pains has brought lasting relief and I look forward to my sessions all week. She also brings an amazing personal warmth and empathy to her treatments that so few health practitioners can offer.

I have been going to Nicole's acupuncture practice since 2017. She has been treating me ever since. I had a chronic pain that with her consistent acupuncture treatment, the pain disappeared. With her acupuncture treatment, I was able to lead a normal life without pain that no regular Doctor was to achieve. Nicole is an excellent acupuncture professional and person!!

I highly recommend Nicole--she is amazingly knowledgeable, resourceful, and supportive. I have gone to her for various challenging health issues over the years and she has always risen to the occasion. She is also a lovely human being. Acupuncture was new to me when I began treatment with her and now it is now part of my general approach to maintaining my health. I have benefited immensely from Nicole's treatments and have complete confidence in her expertise. So much so that I have recommended her to many friends and colleagues and continue to do so--especially when they have tried other more

Highly recommend! I started going to Nicole upon a recommendation from my partner who has also seen her previously. I was experiencing extreme lower back and hip flexor pain caused by my work-from-home set up and I'm so glad I came in. Nicole is clearly very knowledgable not only of acupuncture but also of cupping, massage therapy, herbs, and essential oils all of which she considers when deciding the right treatment for you. I felt relief immediately following my first session and have been back every week for approximately 3 months, though we're moving to less frequent sessions because we've

Nicole is a gifted therapist! She will work with you to create the best approach for your particular issues. I came to her (she was personally recommended by my physician!!) with some pretty debilitating symptoms and almost a year later now I am in a much better place. Nicole's work is absolutely part of a successful treatment plan!! She is a kind and very talented practitioner. I very highly recommend her. Melissa
