Nile’s pursuit of defining health has been a part of his path from a young age, moving through many physical endeavors such as individual and team sports, becoming a guide in extreme adventure sports, surf guiding, skydiving, search and rescue, forestry fire, commercial fishing, sport fishing, rope access work, physically taxing labor work, personal training, CrossFit coaching, and fitness. On this path, the intersection between nutrition for fueling performance, training for stamina in physicality, and mental agility became a part of his personal and professional practices.

The inevitable toll that these endeavors take on the body is the outcome of many of these pursuits. Nile has sustained injuries and undergone surgeries over the years of pushing physical boundaries. Understanding the mechanics of the body, the possibilities of the body, and the body’s ability to repair itself has been a passion for Nile as he pursues his own goal of holistic health. Injuries are inevitable; recovery is possible; prevention is education.

Nile brings a holistic approach to his Acupuncture treatments through his vast knowledge gained from his history in fitness, labor work, and extreme hobby sports. Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine have provided successful outcomes in Nile’s health journey since the age of 14. He has experienced the effectiveness of these modalities in managing injuries and internal health issues throughout the years. When Nile decided to pursue Traditional Chinese Medicine as a career four years ago, it was after careful consideration that this work mirrored his values for growth and knowledge. He knew that this was a career where he could continuously learn, and regardless of the direction within the branches of Chinese Medicine, there is endless opportunity for growth and information. Not only that, it was a career where he could apply his knowledge from all of his previous careers to heal, sustain, and improve the body and mind.

Nile’s treatments focus on optimizing performance, recovering from injuries, pain management, and addressing repetitive work strain using a sports medicine acupuncture approach. Nile’s approach also encompasses mobility and movement analysis post-treatment to activate effective patterning - retraining movements for ideal performance, whether that be in fitness, sport, or maintaining an active and mobile lifestyle, regardless of age.
