My name is Rachelle Stock, L.Ac. (licensed Acupuncturist). I have my Masters Degree in Acupuncture from the Asian Institute of Medical Studies in Tucson, AZ and my Bachelors degree in Psychology from the University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ. These degrees, in addition to my practice in these fields, have provided me with the knowledge, experience and compassion in helping you reach your health goals.
How I got interested in Chinese Medicine:
Upon graduating with my bachelors in psychology I started working in the case management area of behavioral health care. While Western medicine is striving to reach the needs of the mentally ill, I noticed there was something missing. I thought about continuing my education to help people reach their goals through something more alternative. At this time I was involved with Tai Chi then started to receive acupuncture. I was inspired by how it was helping me change my health. My stress and anxiety over work had dramatically decreased and I learned how make small changes to optimize my own wellness. I decided that I wanted to help and inspire others with this subtle, yet strong and effective medicine. It allows people to become empowered to take charge of their own health this is how we all can achieve health and wellness! The amazing part about Chinese Medicine is how it incorporates the whole person (body, mind and spirit), and allows for individuality in treatment.
I am dedicated to your journey to health which is why I stay connected with the field of Chinese Medicine by continuing my education as in compliance with the NCCAOM and the State of Arizona. I also have completed and become certified with the Clean Needle Technique to ensure safety for my clients.
