Care here is individualized and relationship-based. Learn more about my approach https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f46cc988a988727e637ecc8/1605218385499-YTQYOXBGHPZVEFQFTZBA/image-asset.jpeg Home - Chinese medicine offers a different way of understanding health. In my work, I use acupuncture and herbal medicine to support women through the hormonal turning points of life, including the early menstrual years, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, perimenopause, and healthy aging. Treatment also helps address the many symptoms that arise alongside these transitions and are often misunderstood or minimized. Over time, you will learn practical ways to care for yourself between visits. The goal is not only relief, but a growing sense of familiarity and trust in your own body. I continue to feel grateful for this medicine and what it makes possible. With the right support, the body often finds its way back toward balance, and life begins to feel steadier and more easeful again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f46cc988a988727e637ecc8/88f875cf-3c53-4e23-9955-241ee0f416d0/image-asset.jpg Home - What clients are saying… “Such a caring and comforting experience – Nikki was so knowledgeable and really put me at ease!” “I leave feeling invigorated and reenergized. She is wonderful.” “Her treatments are grounding and healing… I love our chats about self care.” “Nikki is a true healer, and has fully changed my life.” “She truly listens to you, is patient and caring.” https://www.newmissionacupuncture.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-07-11 https://www.newmissionacupuncture.com/services-overview daily 0.75 2025-11-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f46cc988a988727e637ecc8/d8d3ce28-66ce-4cfc-a364-224dd871d3b7/unsplash-image-WTDYv7M2tuU.jpg Services Overview - Why Chinese Medicine? Chinese medicine offers a different way, one that takes in the full picture of your health and gently restores balance. Acupuncture, herbal medicine, functional medicine supplementation, and Chinese lifestyle wisdom work together to treat the root of your issues, not just the symptoms. This is whole-body care. It’s steady, effective, and designed to evolve with you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f46cc988a988727e637ecc8/1750704199571-5EUYZDARBLPCN3CQ4JFQ/unsplash-image-RzFqGKMT_LY.jpg Services Overview - Chinese Medicine Can Support You With: Stress and emotional regulation Sleep disturbances and fatigue Digestive issues (bloating, IBS, sluggish digestion) Headaches and migraines Joint and muscle pain Menstrual irregularities and PMS Fertility, IUI, and IVF support Pregnancy-related discomforts Postpartum recovery Perimenopause and menopause symptoms Autoimmunity of all kinds Frequent colds and flus and post viral recovery Explore specifically how I support fertility, pregnancy, and menopause → https://www.newmissionacupuncture.com/pregnancy-care daily 0.75 2026-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f46cc988a988727e637ecc8/e62c5590-0a1a-46f0-9c33-3e895b5c0eb1/unsplash-image-dI7vfR1Bqcg.jpg Pregnancy Care - Pregnancy Care & Chinese Medicine Pregnancy brings significant change to the body. During this time, thoughtful care supports both the healthy development of the baby and the wellbeing of the mother. In Chinese medicine, pregnancy is treated as a time that deserves careful attention. Classical medical texts describe the physical changes that occur month by month and outline ways to support them through acupuncture, nutrition, and lifestyle guidance. With the right support, many common symptoms of pregnancy can be eased while the body prepares for birth and recovery afterward. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine offer safe, effective, and drug-free support from early pregnancy through postpartum healing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f46cc988a988727e637ecc8/d3fd8501-41fe-4839-8cc6-9e9ab128c0ec/unsplash-image-vrbZVyX2k4I.jpg Pregnancy Care - How Chinese Medicine Can Support You Acupuncture during pregnancy is commonly used to help with many of the physical changes that occur during this time, including: Morning sickness and pregnancy-related nausea Low back and hip pain Headaches and dizziness Edema and sinus congestion Carpal tunnel symptoms Food aversions and reduced appetite Treatment also supports healthy circulation to the uterus and placenta, helping nourish both mother and baby. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f46cc988a988727e637ecc8/9fcb0bc6-3ff8-4519-8762-8861eafef011/unsplash-image-fjcMgswH_Ow.jpg Pregnancy Care - Care Throughout Pregnancy and Postpartum Care is individualized and can begin at any stage of pregnancy. Support may include: • Acupuncture treatments to address pregnancy symptoms and support overall wellbeing • Nutritional and lifestyle guidance tailored to each stage of pregnancy • Labor preparation with acupuncture and acupressure in the final weeks • Breech baby support using moxibustion (link to blog post) • Postpartum recovery care, including traditional warming therapies and herbal support • Breastfeeding and milk supply support • Education around traditional postpartum recovery practices, often referred to as the “Golden Month” https://www.newmissionacupuncture.com/fee daily 0.75 2026-02-16 https://www.newmissionacupuncture.com/fertility-care daily 0.75 2026-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f46cc988a988727e637ecc8/5d650280-1036-48f8-934e-bb55b9162203/unsplash-image-zHp_umIzhLo.jpg Fertility Care - Fertility Care & Acupuncture Fertility can bring a mix of hope, uncertainty, and difficult decisions. Many people find themselves navigating complex information while also managing the emotional weight of the process. You do not have to do this alone. I work with women across the full spectrum of fertility care. Some are preparing to conceive naturally. Others are working with IUI or IVF, or considering egg freezing as they plan for the future. My role is to provide individualized care that supports the body while also helping you make sense of what is happening medically. Acupuncture, herbal medicine, and thoughtful lifestyle guidance can support reproductive health and help the body function more optimally throughout the fertility process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f46cc988a988727e637ecc8/b827c7e1-b704-4fa9-b0c1-699f6a0ca28b/unsplash-image-4qt6g8Aabcw.jpg Fertility Care - How Chinese Medicine Can Support You Treatment is tailored to your cycle, medical history, and where you are in the process. Care may include support for: Cycle regulation Acupuncture and lifestyle guidance can support ovulation, reduce PMS symptoms, and improve overall menstrual health. Natural conception Treatments are timed with your cycle to support hormone balance, egg quality, and uterine health. IVF and IUI cycles Acupuncture can improve circulation to the uterus and ovaries, support the body through fertility medications, and help prepare the body for embryo transfer and early pregnancy. Miscarriage recovery Gentle care can support physical recovery and help the body regain balance before trying again. Nervous system support Fertility treatment can be physically and emotionally demanding. Sessions provide space for the nervous system to settle while the body receives therapeutic support. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f46cc988a988727e637ecc8/f75edeb9-4c1d-49a5-90ad-4a6a9182e8b0/unsplash-image-_1UF_3TlKcQ.jpg Fertility Care - What It Is Like to Work Together Your first visit begins with a comprehensive intake followed by an acupuncture treatment. During this process we review your cycle history, relevant lab work, and any fertility treatments you may be pursuing. From there we develop a care plan that aligns with your goals and your medical care. Weekly sessions are often recommended, particularly when actively trying to conceive or preparing for IVF or IUI cycles. My role is not only to provide treatment, but also to help interpret what is happening medically and support you in advocating for your care when needed. You will receive clear recommendations, thoughtful guidance, and care that is steady and non-judgmental. https://www.newmissionacupuncture.com/testimonials daily 0.75 2025-07-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f46cc988a988727e637ecc8/1598565367387-96YO2BUAQZBWYCCW8WWN/image-asset.jpeg Testimonials - What Clients Are Saying Real words from women who found help with Chinese medicine... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f46cc988a988727e637ecc8/5c9645b2-abc3-41eb-8d78-28cb0737f7de/image-asset.jpg Testimonials - An angel for anxiety, depression & fertility “Dr. Nikki Fancher is an angel on earth… one of the kindest and most honest practitioners I’ve ever met.

From nervous first-timers to families and busy women, people feel deeply supported. My bedside manner is a big part of the experience. https://www.newmissionacupuncture.com/faq daily 0.75 2026-03-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f46cc988a988727e637ecc8/1750868749906-B3GHSLXIFDXR9QK8QVV7/unsplash-image-ZuK5cBX1qlw.jpg FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions How is your practice structured? I work with one client at a time, typically for a full hour. When you come in, you work directly with me at every visit. This allows your care to evolve from a deep understanding of your history, patterns, and goals rather than from a single treatment in isolation. Will I see the same practitioner each visit? Yes. I personally provide all treatments in my practice. Over time, acupuncture becomes a collaborative process. Subtle changes in sleep, cycle patterns, digestion, mood, and stress response inform how treatment unfolds. Continuity allows for a level of precision and responsiveness that is difficult to achieve otherwise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f46cc988a988727e637ecc8/1771284778030-QVPEHWRD3LO6M9S853LY/unsplash-image--oYPre-0gIk.jpg FAQ Why do you allow so much time for each appointment? Healing often happens when the nervous system has enough space to settle. Unhurried treatments allow time for conversation, assessment, treatment, and integration. Many patients tell me this is the first healthcare setting where they feel fully listened to and supported. That experience is intentional and part of the medicine. Do you offer treatment packages? Rather than packages, I focus on building a treatment rhythm that fits your body and your life. Some conditions benefit from closer support for a period of time, while others move into maintenance care. We decide together what makes sense clinically rather than following a preset structure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f46cc988a988727e637ecc8/bfdde857-ee9a-45b7-89e3-2635b94e4ea8/unsplash-image-ZxZQk7777R4.jpg FAQ What kinds of patients tend to work well in your practice? Many of my patients are women navigating complex or transitional phases of life. Fertility journeys, pregnancy and postpartum recovery, perimenopause, midlife health changes, or periods of high stress and responsibility. They are often thoughtful, busy people who value personalized care and a long-term relationship with a practitioner who understands their full picture. I’ve seen acupuncture offered in larger clinics. How is this different? There are many effective ways to practice acupuncture. My model is intentionally small and relationship-based. I focus on individualized care, continuity, and long-term support. Some people prefer a faster-paced or more standardized environment. Others are looking for a quieter, highly personalized experience. Both can be helpful depending on what someone needs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f46cc988a988727e637ecc8/1772483261083-DOWO75MS636G7ZUZXCFA/image-asset.jpeg FAQ How long does it usually take to see results? Some people notice shifts quickly. For more complex or long-standing concerns, change tends to happen progressively as the nervous system and physiology regain balance. My goal is not only symptom relief, but helping your body develop resilience and stability over time. Do you work collaboratively with other providers? Yes. I frequently coordinate care with physicians, therapists, Pilates instructors, bodyworkers, and other specialists when helpful. I see acupuncture as part of a larger ecosystem of support. Is this practice a good fit if I’m new to acupuncture? Absolutely. Many patients arrive unsure of what to expect. Treatments are gentle, collaborative, and adjusted to your comfort level. You are always welcome to ask questions or move at your own pace. https://www.newmissionacupuncture.com/privacy daily 0.75 2021-02-16 https://www.newmissionacupuncture.com/menopausal-care daily 0.75 2026-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f46cc988a988727e637ecc8/1772743681290-9ZQJVZ9A2Y7UCZLXDDSL/unsplash-image-i9Q9bc-WgfE.jpg Menopausal Care - Perimenopause & Menopause Care with Chinese Medicine Perimenopause and menopause bring significant hormonal change. During this time many women experience shifts in sleep, mood, energy, and temperature regulation, often alongside new aches, brain fog, or changes in metabolism. Chinese medicine offers a thoughtful approach to supporting the body through these changes. Acupuncture, herbal medicine, and targeted lifestyle guidance can help regulate symptoms while supporting overall resilience during this stage of life. My role is to help you understand what is happening in your body and provide steady, individualized care as you move through this transition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f46cc988a988727e637ecc8/4badc1c2-6e69-4c65-b40c-f8fe7fa46fa5/unsplash-image-fcb_1TXvR3I.jpg Menopausal Care - How Chinese Medicine Can Help Treatment is tailored to the specific patterns each woman is experiencing. Common concerns addressed include: Hot flashes and night sweats Acupuncture can help regulate temperature shifts and calm the nervous system.

Joint pain and body aches Acupuncture and herbal medicine can help reduce inflammation and improve mobility. Energy and fatigue Care focuses on restoring balance and supporting sustainable energy. Bone and cardiovascular health Herbal and nutritional guidance can help support long-term structural and metabolic health. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f46cc988a988727e637ecc8/1750700943301-D5VBRGV3ZON42Y7A2DHP/unsplash-image-GyDktTa0Nmw.jpg Menopausal Care - What It Is Like to Work Together With more than twenty years of experience in women’s health, my approach combines traditional Chinese medicine with modern clinical understanding. Appointments allow time to discuss symptoms in context, review relevant medical information, and develop a treatment plan that evolves as your body changes. Many women find relief not only in symptom improvement, but also in understanding the larger hormonal shifts taking place. https://www.newmissionacupuncture.com/new-clients daily 0.75 2026-02-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f46cc988a988727e637ecc8/854b1cb7-1089-4823-9e0c-6626fd2e9afd/unsplash-image-5jz3T5LwuPA.jpg New Clients - Welcome, New Clients What to Expect & How to Get Started This quick guide walks you through how to book your first appointment, what to prepare, and what to expect during your sessions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f46cc988a988727e637ecc8/8bea0b14-7f4f-4478-862d-f37bacedb9a8/unsplash-image-_KCrSolz6FI.jpg New Clients - How to Book Your First Appointment All scheduling is done through Booksy, my online booking system.
