About
Nicole Jurkovic Peterson, L.Ac.
Nicole Peterson's interest in Chinese medicine began
when she was 15 years old on a trip to China where she visited local
hospitals and small village clinics. Intrigued by what she saw,
she decided to learn more about Chinese medicine and eventually
pursued a career in this ancient practice.

She received her bachelor's degree in Biology and French from the
College of Charleston in Charleston, South Carolina. She continued
on to earn her Master's degree in Oriental Medicine from the Oregon
College of Oriental Medicine in Portland, Oregon where she studied
acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, Tuina massage, and qigong.
She was also certified by Professor Hui-Chen to teach both Soaring
Crane and Essence Qigong.

She then went on to complete an additional year long intensive study
of Taoist wilderness-based Five Element acupuncture in a program
called Awakening to the Soul of our Medicine. To enhance her clinical
skills, she developed a deep relationship with the five elements
in nature as they relate to the organs and emotions in the human
body.

Nicole Peterson, L.Ac. is a licensed acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist
