Dr. Kristen Nye, L.Ac., DAc, Dipl. Ac. is a licensed and board-certified acupuncturist. Kristen is a graduate of the Won Institute of Graduate Studies. Her education includes over 2700 hours of study in Eastern and Western medical practices. While at the Won Institute, she studied the art and science of acupuncture through a myriad of lenses, including: Traditional Chinese Medicine, Five Element Theory, Japanese Acupuncture, Korean Acupuncture and Sports Medicine Acupuncture. This rigorous graduate academic program has a strong foundation in Buddhist meditation, which Kristen continues to practice in her daily life. During her time in graduate school, Kristen completed an apprenticeship at a practice specializing in Japanese acupuncture. She also interned at the outpatient “Go To Them Clinic” in downtown Philadelphia, where she treated members of underserved and housing insecure populations, as well as the local veteran community. Kristen specializes in addressing common health concerns such as stress, pain, sleep, digestion, and fertility. In practice, she combines various modalities to create custom treatments for each patient. Each treatment is tailored to the patient’s unique needs in that moment of time. Just as the seasons change, so do we. Outside of the clinic, Kristen is an avid practitioner of hot yoga. She enjoys tending to her herbal garden, traveling to anywhere with a beach, playing piano (she is a classically trained pianist!), and hiking with her dog, Pepper.
