Teresa Nicola, DACM, LAc

Thoughtful, gentle care for the whole person.

Teresa brings a combination of clinical expertise, genuine warmth, and a calm, grounded presence to her practice. With a background in yoga and movement, she looks beyond the immediate symptom to understand the physical, mental, and emotional factors that may be affecting how a patient feels.

Her acupuncture style is gentle, precise, and highly individualized, making her an especially good fit for patients who appreciate a slower, thoughtful approach to care. She is committed to continuing education and research and brings that curiosity into the treatment room, carefully considering what will best support each patient.

Perhaps most importantly, Teresa has a natural ability to make people feel comfortable and cared for. As a mother and lifelong learner, she brings patience, steadiness, and perspective to her work. Her patients appreciate that she listens deeply, rarely feels rushed or rattled, and creates a treatment experience where they can truly settle in.

Teresa’s goal is simple: to help her patients feel better in their bodies, more balanced in their lives, and supported as they work toward better health.

CLIENT REVIEWS

I've been seeing Teresa for acupuncture for years. Teresa is so talented, an intuitive genius when it comes to working energy both generally and acutely. She has been a critical part of my care team in addressing and helping heal my frozen shoulder, calming agonizing pain and reinvigorating mobility. More generally, Teresa's holistic understanding of the body helped me regulate my nervous system and self through a really challenging time in my life, helping me stand strong through years-long and contentious divorce. She is a godsend. Go see her.
