About Mandi
Hi! I’m Mandi.
I am a licensed and board-certified acupuncturist and Chinese medicine (herbalist) practitioner. I have been in the healthcare field for most of my adult life. I am passionate about truly listening to people and empowering them with the tools to Imbue Wellness into their life. Meeting people where they are at is most important to me. Each patient is on their own path to healing, and we will start wherever that may be.

I began my education with a degree in Cultural Anthropology, spending five years studying and immersing myself in different cultures around the world—including a year living in England and traveling throughout Europe. This experience shaped me into the compassionate, open-minded, and understanding healthcare provider I am today. It gave me a deep appreciation for the richness and diversity of people and their lives.

After returning from the U.K., I began my career in the mental health field and eventually became a Program Director at a non-profit organization. While I valued this work, I missed the one-on-one connection with patients and wanted to take a wider approach to health and healing. Years of studying nutrition, Western herbs, meditation, energy, emotional and physical health, and trauma led me to pursue a degree in holistic, wellness-centered medicine: Acupuncture and Chinese (Eastern) medicine.

Today, I am a general practitioner with advanced training in infertility and mental health. I am especially passionate about supporting patients with stress, fertility and family planning, teen health, and general wellness. In my clinic, I frequently treat women’s health concerns, pain, digestive issues, sleep concerns, and stress-related conditions—always with an integrative, whole-person approach.
-
Outside of clinic, I love spending time with my family, traveling, and being in nature. Some of my favorite simple joys include sharing good food, exploring new places, and relaxing with a book and a cup of herbal tea. I believe deeply in the balance of yin and yang—in both medicine and life—and I strive to balance adventure, family, and fun with peace, solitude, and rejuvenation.

When I’m not in clinic, you’ll find me spending time with my family, exploring nature, traveling, and enjoying good food. I love new adventures, but I also value quiet moments with a good book and a cup of herbal tea. I believe in the balance of yin and yang—in both medicine and life—and strive to balance family, fun, and adventure with peace, solitude, and rejuvenation.
