Meet Dr. Nicky Rieks, DACM
Licensed Acupuncture Practitioner in Minnesota through the MN Board of Medical Practice and Founder of Dr. Nicky Acupuncture.
✨ I am passionate about educating and healing my patients, empowering them to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives. My approach blends the wisdom of Eastern medicine with modern Western practices, offering a truly integrative path to wellness.
Through a combination of acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, and herbal medicine, I tailor treatments to support faster healing and restore balance—whether used individually or in combination, based on your unique needs.
If you're seeking a positive, energetic, and caring approach to health, I’d love to help you revitalize your well-being. Please don’t hesitate to reach out and discover how I can support your journey toward optimal health.
When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll find me indulging in delicious food, traveling to new places, exploring nature, reading, supporting great businesses, and enjoying anything made with love. And, of course, spending time with my beloved pets—Izzy the dog, and Ron, Neville, Poppy, & Rosmerta, my mischievous house panthers! 🐾
MISSION
I believe in empowering my patients to take control of their healing journey. My goal is to help you understand the incredible power of your mind and body and how each organ and symptom is part of a more extensive, interconnected system.
Healing chronic and complex conditions requires a deep sensitivity and a tailored approach—one I’ve honed over time to address even the most stubborn ailments with gentle, effective methods.
🌿 If you're ready to explore how acupuncture and holistic care can support your healing, get in touch today to learn more. Together, we can unlock your body’s natural ability to restore balance and vitality.
