Nicole Masters, L.Ac. M.S.
Nicole
Masters L.Ac, is a California State Certified Acupuncturist and
holds a Masters of Science degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine
from the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in San
Francisco's Potrero Hill neighborhood. She is also nationally certified
by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental
Medicine (NCCAOM).
Nicole also apprenticed and studied with Stephen Coleman, L.Ac.
muscular skeletal pain specialist while in school as well as participated
in several internships at community health clinics. Upon graduation
Nicole worked with Sanjay Patel, M.D. at Northern California Rehabilitation
Associates in Modesto, CA (2003-2004) working with acute injury
and work disability patients. Additionally Nicole is licensed in
Washington State (2002) and continues to work with John McEachron,
D.C. in his family Chiropractic office in Olympia, WA., when she
returns to visit her family at Horseland Farms.
In 2004 Nicole started Golden State Health in order to better serve
the needs of the community with the help of her husband, Dan Schneider,
a fifth generation native of San Francisco.
Nicole moved to San Francisco in 1994 and was immediately taken
by cycling. Having been raised on her family's horse farm and ridden
horses all her life, cycling provided the outdoor recreational experience
she craved - and was practical in the new urban environment. Shortly
thereafter Nicole had a spill while on her bike and suffered a painful
elbow injury. In searching for help she was recommended an Acupuncturist
who did a marvelous job of treating the injury and inspiring her
to learn Chinese Medicine herself.
Nicole is still an active cyclist, and hiker who enjoys being active
in the incredible beauty of our local mountains and watersheds.
She also lends her support to several local cycling clubs and organizations
such as the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, and the AIDS/Lifecycle
4 ride which raises money for an excellent cause as participants
cycle from San Francisco to Los Angeles.
