About Nicole Stone, MS, LAc
My journey into holistic medicine began at the age of 19 when I met my first mentor. He taught me different forms of martial arts and qi gong and showed me the power of using my own energy, qi (pronounced chee) to strengthen, balance and heal the body. Through meditation and mindful intention I learned how to calm the mind and let go of pain. And with nutrition and herbs I experienced the great benefits of using food as medicine. I am grateful for the healing journey that set me on a path toward acupuncture and all the knowledge I get to pass on to you.
​
​After decades of working with multiple mentors, coaches and healers I know first hand the benefits of self-care. Sometimes the best healing is to simply go for a hike, stick your feet in the ocean, dance around the house or laugh with friends.
​
​I look forward to sharing my years of personal experience and education to help you along your journey to great health.

Nicole received her Masters of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in San Diego, California in 2000.
Nicole is also the co-founder of Journeys of the Joyful Heart, a company she and her business partner, nutritionist Birgit Witherspoon, created in 2019 to offer online courses and in-person workshops for women. After spending a combined 40 years working one-on-one with women, listening to their needs, wants, dreams, and goals, they joined forces to build a meaningful and supportive resource.
​
Over the years, Journeys has evolved from women’s retreats and online personal-growth courses into a three-phase preconception care program called Joyful Beginnings. This shift came as more couples in their mid-twenties sought help for fertility challenges, including recurrent miscarriage, cysts and fibroids, poor sperm health, and unexplained infertility.
​​
Nicole specializes in gynecology, infertility, and preconception care, using the wisdom of Chinese medicine to help women address painful periods and discover natural solutions for fertility challenges, and to support men in improving sperm health and overall reproductive wellness. Birgit’s personal experience with miscarriage inspired her deep commitment to supporting women emotionally and nutritionally, helping them create a calm and nourishing foundation for healthy pregnancies. Together, they bring expertise, authenticity, and a genuinely nurturing presence to your fertility journey.

With much love & joy!
