ABOUT DANIELLE
Danielle Boucher, L.Ac. is a licensed acupuncturist in California with over seven years of experience seeing patients in private practice. Danielle was drawn to East Asian Medicine because of its holistic approach and ability to see the interconnectedness of an individual’s symptoms. She is a general practitioner with a special interest in orthopedics and sports medicine, women's health and hormone balance, stress management, and digestive issues. She has advanced training in the diagnosis, assessment and treatment of sports injuries and pain. Danielle also integrates aspects of functional medicine into her practice. She creates individual protocols tailored to her patients by using supplements and herbal medicine, dietary, lifestyle and stress management therapies, and specialty lab testing when necessary.
Danielle has volunteered as an acupuncturist at the Charlotte Maxwell Clinic providing free treatments to women with cancer. She's also been to the Peruvian rainforest twice with Project Buena Vista. Their medical outreach teams provide free acupuncture and herbal medicine to local communities with minimal access to healthcare.
Danielle expanded The Acupuncture Spot to provide acupuncture to Nevada City and Grass Valley in January 2022. The clinic is a proud member and supporter of the Nevada City Chamber of Commerce. It’s been a dream come true for her to join such a small, supportive community surrounded by nature, and to be able to support patients in the community wherever they are at along their healing journey. When not practicing acupuncture, Danielle can be found out in nature hiking, spending time by the Yuba, doing breath work, practicing yoga, and reading.

“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!”
