About Us
In April 2021, Nerea Acupuncture & Eastern Medicine first welcomed clients, led solely by Nerea, offering expertise in Chinese and Functional Medicine. Over time, the clinic underwent a profound metamorphosis, recognizing the insufficiency of merely treating symptoms and managing pain. Thus, in May 2023, Embodied Wellness was born, embodying a holistic approach to health that integrates Eastern and Western philosophies, encompassing the realms of body and mind.
Nerea's credentials include a Masters Degree from The Colorado Chinese Medicine University (Formerly CSTCM), with a Master of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine—a program demanding over 2700 hours of rigorous study. With over a decade of practice and additional training in Functional Medicine, Five Element Acupuncture (exploring the psychiatric aspect of Chinese medicine), injection therapy, and more, Nerea's expertise is unparalleled. Her global experiences teaching Chinese Medicine, Meditation, and Philosophy have enriched her understanding, while her fluency in English, Spanish, and basic Russian reflects her diverse cultural immersion.
Co-owned by Nerea and her partner Cameron, whose lifelong dedication to the medical field adds depth to the clinic's offerings, Embodied Wellness is truly a collaborative endeavor. And let's not forget Kitty, the Siberian Service Husky, whose presence is integral to the clinic's operation, overseeing it all with a watchful eye.
