Kayleigh Stack, LAc
AcupuncturistIn 2020 she graduated with her M.S. in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in New York City. In May 2022 she will also be graduating from Columbia University with an M.A. in Oral History, believing deeply in the transformative power of storytelling.
Before acupuncture, Kayleigh was a full-time circus artist and dancer for many years throughout San Francisco. However, due to a series of central nervous system injuries she left the industry and returned to the healing profession. Her path into nutrition and food therapy, Ayurveda, meditation, mindfulness tools, yoga and Traditional Chinese Medicine was both to heal herself, as well as to provide the timely tools of acupuncture, food practices, herbs, and energy work for the healing of her community.
More than any formal education, however, it has been through her own health challenges and sensitivities that have been my biggest teachers, bringing her to this career of wanting to be of service
Kayleigh believes that no one’s healing is alike and every one’s path is extraordinarily different. With this, She comes with a deep sense of empathy and care in all sessions. https://www.

“Kayleigh helped me tremendously during a difficult period of my life. I had chronic headaches, bladder pain and anxiety. I was on four different medications when I started. I am proud to say that I no longer take any prescription medications. I manage my anxiety naturally. I only get headaches occasionally and they are managed through acupuncture treatments. Kayleigh is warm, intelligent and laser focused in her work. I will forever be grateful for her help. Thanks again Kayleigh!”- Jenn

``Kayleigh brings her warm, grounded energy to her astounding expertise with her acupuncture practice. I came to Kayleigh new to acupuncture and she guided me through every moment, leaving me feeling relaxed and fully understanding what to expect. The relief I got from ongoing jaw tension pain was incredible and I'm deeply thankful for her guidance. I'm excited to continue working with Kayleigh in the years to come.`` - Emma
