Tucked into the Sierra foothills, Nevada City has a different pace than the Bay Area, and Root & Stem Integrative Chinese Medicine built its Nevada City practice to match that pace.

CARE CLOSER TO HOME
Chinese medicine for Nevada County living
Inside the Healing Hive Collective in the heart of the 7 Hills District, Dr. Jessica Parker offers the same acupuncture and Chinese medicine care our Oakland patients rely on, now closer to home for Nevada County and Grass Valley residents.
Whether you are dealing with pain from years of gardening and trail work, trying to balance shifting hormones, or simply looking for a calmer nervous system, our Nevada City clinic gives you a place to start.
Dr. Parker holds a doctorate in acupuncture and Chinese medicine from Five Branches University in Santa Cruz, where she also completed an advanced internship in gynecology at Zhejiang Medical Hospital in China. She finished her residency at Highland Hospital in Oakland and now splits her practice between our Oakland clinic and Nevada City, bringing the same training and the same attention to detail to both communities.
She also serves as Executive Director of the East Bay Integrative Pregnancy Project, work that shapes how she approaches fertility and prenatal care for patients wherever they see her.
- Doctorate in acupuncture and Chinese medicine

WHAT WE TREAT
What We Treat in Nevada City
Nevada County living comes with its own set of aches and stresses, and our Nevada City patients come to us for a wide range of concerns.
-
Pain relief & recovery
Pain relief tops the list for many patients, including back and neck pain, joint pain, headaches, and the kind of overuse injuries that come from hiking, gardening, and physical outdoor work. Acupuncture can also support recovery after a fall or a long day of manual labor on the property.
-
Women's health & fertility
Fertility and hormone support are a major part of Dr. Parker's practice. She works with patients managing irregular cycles, PCOS, and endometriosis, along with those trying to conceive, going through IVF, or recovering after childbirth. Perimenopause and menopause symptoms, including hot flashes and mood changes, are also common reasons patients book a visit.
-
Hormone, stress & whole-body health
Stress and sleep concerns round out our most requested care. Many patients tell us that life in a small mountain town still comes with plenty of pressure, whether from work, family, or simply slowing down enough to rest, and acupuncture can help calm an overactive nervous system so sleep and mood both improve.

A WELLNESS SPACE BUILT FOR THIS COMMUNITY
Care inside the Healing Hive Collective
Our Nevada City location sits inside the Healing Hive Collective, a shared space in the 7 Hills District where several wellness practitioners work under one roof. Patients often tell us they like being part of a collective that feels rooted in the local community rather than a typical medical office.
It also means that if your care plan calls for other kinds of support down the road, you are already in a building full of practitioners who understand integrative health.
