Valerie Lyvers, Lac, Dipl OM, Mstom, is a graduate of Pacific College of Health and Science Chicago.  

​

A nationally certified acupuncturist and herbalist, Valerie combines acupuncture with food therapy and lifestyle recommendations to educate her patients on ways to heal.

 

At the Pacific College of Health and Science, she completed over 3,307 hours of combined study, 900 of which were hands-on clinical hours.  She has also interned at 4 other Chicago clinics in her free time, and completed an externship at the Chicago Women’s health center. She worked at an integrative medicine clinic in Chicago for 6 years before opening Racine acupuncture in 2021.

 

She believes patients should be as involved in their treatment plans as much as possible, and encourages questions. Her style is a mix of traditional Chinese medicine, motor point acupuncture (sometimes called dry needling), master tung, and often includes other modalities like estim, moxa, cupping, and guasha.  

​

In her free time, Valerie enjoys theatre, hiking, and traveling with her family.
