My name is Nathalie Folch, and I am an MD from Mexico with a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. I am board certified by the NCCAOM and am licensed by the Texas Medical Board. I also hold certifications in Neuro-Acupuncture, the NADA protocol, and cosmetic acupuncture.

I got acquainted with acupuncture when I was in medical school, and I truly believe that I survived it thanks to my regular stress management treatments. But it was years later, when I became very frustrated in the way pain is managed by Western medicine, that I thought that there had to be a better way. That’s when I decided to go back to school and pursue a career in Traditional Chinese Medicine. This medical system is holistic, non-invasive, and treats sooo much more than pain. I LOVE this medicine, and I’m never going back!

I am a firm believer that the only way to achieve optimal health is by looking at the person holistically, and incorporate physical, mental, and spiritual aspects in the treatment regimen. My aim is to work with you towards your health, balance, and wellness goals.
