Meet Stacey – Your Partner in Holistic Healing
With over 18 years of experience in private practice, I am passionate about helping individuals achieve optimal health and well-being through a holistic approach. At Second Spring, I integrate my diverse background in healthcare and Traditional Chinese Medicine to provide comprehensive and personalized care for my clients.
Before becoming an acupuncturist, I spent 15 years working as a nationally Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist, focusing on optimizing health, wellness, and rehabilitation for individuals with terminal illnesses, traumatic injuries, and disabilities. This experience gave me a profound understanding of the human experience and fueled my determination to integrate these insights with the healing modalities of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, I had the honor of becoming the first licensed acupuncturist to join the University of Minnesota Physicians group, where I developed and implemented the Employee Stress Reduction and Wellness program for UMP frontline workers and staff. This opportunity allowed me to bring acupuncture and holistic healing to those in high-stress, demanding environments, reinforcing my commitment to using natural medicine for both physical and emotional well-being.
I continue to deepen my knowledge and specialize in women’s health and hormone balance, having completed my certification from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in both Eastern and Western medicine and the menopause transition. As well as my continued study of Orthopedic Acupuncture and Orthopedic Pre and Post Operative support. My approach is rooted in empowering individuals to navigate health transitions with confidence and vitality.
Beyond my acupuncture practice, I lead local and international retreats that focus on self-care, yoga, adventure, and travel. As a registered yoga teacher and lifelong learner, I continue to study various disciplines of nutrition, yoga, and mind-body-spirit practices. I am committed to educating and providing my community with health and wellness solutions that improve quality of life, give hope to those living with chronic health conditions, and inspire all to live their best life possible.
As a nationally certified acupuncturist by the NCCAOM and licensed in the state of Minnesota by the Minnesota Medical Board, I am committed to upholding the highest standards of care. My mission is to create a welcoming space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered on your healing journey.
I look forward to being a part of your wellness path. Let’s work together to restore balance and vitality in your life.
