RACHEL DAVIS, LICENSED ACUPUNCTURIST

Rachel Davis, LAc. MTCM, FABORM is a licensed acupuncturist, specializing in fertility, women’s health, and mood disorders. She graduated from Daoist Traditions College of Chinese Medical Arts in 2007. In 2009, she moved to Nashville to work under Green Hills Natural Health’s previous owner, Steve Blumenthal. In 2016, Rachel acquired the practice and has since maintained its reputation for excellent and compassionate care.

As a self-identified “women’s health nerd,” Rachel is committed to always evolving in her profession. Her postgraduate studies have focused on women’s health including a certification in the Arvigo techniques of Mayan Abdominal Massage. In 2010, Rachel earned her Fellowship with the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine (FABORM). In 2020, Rachel completed a certification in 5 Element Functional Medicine, an innovative approach combining functional endocrinology with Chinese medical theory.

For Rachel, helping couple struggling to conceive resonates deeply with her life’s purpose. She believes our bodies possess an innate wisdom to heal, and our minds have the capacity to give meaning and depth to the challenges we encounter. Rachel grew up hearing about her own mother and grandmother’s struggle with infertility. It wasn’t until her parents adopted her brother that they finally conceived her. Because of her family history, Rachel feels a profound connection to her work and her patients.

Although she was born in Baton Rouge, Rachel spent her early childhood years moving every few years for her father’s career. When she was eight years old, her family moved to Saudi Arabia. Living abroad allowed her family to enjoy plenty of international travel. This early exposure to different cultures impacted Rachel and her worldview. When she was 13, Rachel’s family settled in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Rachel was introduced to acupuncture while a college student at UNC-Chapel Hill. Having struggled with chronic allergies and respiratory infections since childhood, she sought out acupuncture and herbal medicine for relief. She was stunned by the results. Not only did acupuncture cure her allergies, she found it also eased the stress and anxiety she experienced as a college student. In 2001, Rachel graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill with a major in Communication Studies as well as having completed a premed curriculum. Given her curiosity for other cultures and fascination with the human body, Rachel decided to pursue a career in Chinese Medicine. Before starting acupuncture school, Rachel assisted in a large acupuncture practice in Asheville, North Carolina. She saw many other patients experience the miraculous results she had and knew she had find found her calling.

At home, Rachel is perpetually nesting. She loves to garden, bake, and is always looking for new nutritious recipes to try out on her husband and two children. An avid reader, you can also frequently find Rachel curled up on the couch with a mystery novel or perhaps even delving into a book on Chinese Medicine. However, her all-time favorite activity is going for long walks with her beloved corgi, Frodo.
