Meet Nicolette
My name is Nicolette MacRae and I am Licensed Acupuncturist. My journey toward acupuncture began as an undergraduate taking prerequisites for nursing when I started obtaining a series of injuries. Unhappy with the treatments suggested, I found my way to chiropractic care and acupuncture. I'll admit, the thought of needles in me made me nervous but I researched it before treatment and fell in love with the philosophy of acupuncture...balance. After my treatment, I knew this was what I was meant to do.
I received my Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Sciences at National University of Health Sciences outside of Chicago, Illinois. I continued there for my Master's degree in Acupuncture. I had the opportunity to do half of my internship in the pain clinic at John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County in Chicago. I also had the unique opportunity to assist in a clinical trial for smoking secession using acupuncture.
To balance out work life, I like to go on adventures with my family and friends in the woods whether it's finding an awesome waterfall, a new place to fish or just getting “lost” for a few hours. Eventually, I would love to do the Appalachian Trail start to finish.
I would be honored to assist you and your family in your acupuncture and health care needs. I look forward to meeting you and answering any questions or concerns you may have.
