Rachele is a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist in San Francisco Bay Area, and founder of Fountyn Acupuncture. Her healing practice is nurturing and empowering, and centers around women’s health, skin, digestive issues, stress, and fertility. Rachele sees patients at her acupuncture studio in Potrero Hill and Woodside/Redwood City.
Previously, Rachele had a career in technology. Faced with a series of crippling, stress-related health issues, she turned to Chinese medicine to heal and ground herself. She regained a sense of calm and clarity that allowed her to thrive in all facets of her life. Wanting to share the transformational effects of the medicine, she decided to change careers and use Chinese medicine to help others in need of support and self-care. Chinese medicine is deeply rooted in Rachele’s culture and upbringing, and she hopes to share it in a way that is approachable and fun with her patients.
She received her BA from Stanford University, where she studied Chinese Literature and Art, and went on to receive her Doctor of Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine from the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Much of her specialized training focuses on fertility and skincare.
Outside of the clinic, Rachele enjoys exploring the California coast with her husband, son, and pup, dancing to live music, attending the ballet, and eating lots of Asian food.
