ABOUT DANIELLE
Danielle Boucher, L.Ac. is a California-based acupuncturist with over ten years of clinical experience. Originally drawn to East Asian Medicine for its holistic approach, she continues to be awe-inspired on a daily basis by the profound and comprehensive support that her patients receive from acupuncture. Because this tradition of medicine recognizes and maps the interconnectedness of an individual’s symptoms, it’s uniquely suited to correcting patterns of imbalance and remediating a wide variety of ailments. Founded on ancient wisdom that’s proven to be timeless, Danielle wholeheartedly believes that acupuncture is the antidote to our stressful modern lifestyles, helping us feel adaptable, regulated, and resilient.
A direct reflection of her professional experience and personal journey, Danielle’s practice blends East Asian Medicine with functional medicine in an attempt to best meet our complex and evolving needs. Her integrative approach to healing is individualized, creative, and flexible—meeting patients where they are and honoring their unique needs. She doesn’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach; each session is individually tailored to your needs and desires, with available support in the form of: acupuncture, herbal medicine, supplements, nutritional guidance, lifestyle implements, emotional care, and functional medicine integrations, including options for lab testing.
While Danielle is a general practitioner, she specializes in supporting those with: complex chronic symptoms/illnesses (e.g., Long COVID, MCAS, POTS, mold illness, etc), autoimmune conditions, highly sensitive constitutions, and acute or chronic pain. Danielle’s approach is both highly empathetic and direct, helping patients feel empowered on the physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. Check out her patients’ testimonials, with dozens of five-star Google and Yelp reviews.
Danielle moved The Acupuncture Spot to Nevada City in January 2022. The clinic is proud to support the locals of Nevada City, Grass Valley, and beyond. It’s been a dream come true for her to join such a tight knit, supportive community steeped in nature. When outside of her practice, Danielle can be found exploring the outdoors, spending time by the Yuba, connecting with community, making art, and reading fiction.

“I’ve seen several acupuncturists over the years, and I have to say that Danielle really knows what she’s doing. She’s wise and intuitive, and gave me herbs for a stress related condition that is already helping my irregular heartbeat and stress levels. Thanks Danielle!”
