Our Services & Practitioners

Live pain-free, reduce stress and anxiety, and find answers for a healthy life.

Joaquina Mascuch

L.Ac. MSTCM, CST, Life Coach, Shaman

Joaquina Mascuch is a Boulder-based acupuncturist, craniosacral therapist, and master energy worker with over 15 years of experience. Her work supports a wide range of physical and emotional concerns, with a particular focus on digestive health, women’s health, and restoring emotional balance.

She holds a Master of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine, completed CranioSacral Therapy training at the Colorado School of Healing Arts, and trained for under a Lakota Medicine Man. Joaquina brings this depth of training into each session, offering care that is holistic, intuitive, and deeply attuned to the individual.

CranioSacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy is a subtle, hands-on approach that works directly with the nervous system and the body’s natural healing intelligence. By listening to and supporting these internal rhythms, it helps the system unwind long-held tension, restore balance, and access deeper states of regulation and ease.

What makes my work unique is the integration of advanced energy work with craniosacral technique. This combination allows us to access deeper layers of stored emotional, energetic, and spiritual patterning, often creating shifts that clients have not experienced through bodywork alone. Sessions are intuitive and responsive, and when appropriate, may include insights or guidance to support integration and alignment.

Craniosacral Therapy can be helpful for stress, trauma recovery, chronic pain, emotional overwhelm, nervous system regulation, and overall well-being.

Chinese Medicine + Acupuncture

I am a board-certified acupuncturist in Boulder, Colorado, offering personalized acupuncture and Chinese medicine treatments rooted in over 15 years of clinical experience. Traditional Chinese Medicine looks at the whole person—body, mind, and emotions—to identify and treat the root cause of imbalance, rather than simply managing symptoms.

Through this holistic approach, I have helped patients with a wide range of conditions, with a particular focus on digestive health, women’s health, and emotional balance.

Acupuncture can be helpful for chronic pain, stress, hormonal balance, digestive issues, sleep concerns, and overall wellness.

Life Coach & Shaman

In my life coaching work with women, I hold nothing back; I show up fully as myself to guide women to become their most potent selves.  My work is about cultivating the relationships in our life that we have lost, starting with ourselves, expanding out to others, and the world.  This work is for women who are ready and fearless to make radical shifts in their lives with full accountability.  Tools I work with:

  • Life Coaching Skills

  • Advanced Shamanic Tools

  • Guided Journeys

  • Somatic Awareness

L.Ac. MSTCM, Sports Medicine Specialist

Having healed many of my own injuries, I understand how pain and dysfunction can disrupt life. My approach blends Eastern and Western medicine, using Chinese Medicine alongside hands-on therapies like myofascial release, deep tissue, bone alignment, and trigger needling to restore balance. I also provide targeted exercises and lifestyle guidance to ensure lasting results.

My greatest reward is helping clients return to a healthy, active life—often wondering how they lived with pain for so long. Beyond injury recovery, I also treat a wide range of conditions with success.

Are you new to acu?
Here's what to expect

Our 5-star rated acupuncture clinic in Boulder frequently receives visits from individuals who are new to acupuncture.

Don’t worry—we’ll guide you through the process. Your practitioner will discuss your reason for coming and ask follow-up questions to determine the best course of action for the session.

If you feel nervous, let us know. Your acupuncturist will use sterile needles on acupoints. You’ll rest for 30 minutes, and many patients fall asleep or enter a meditative state. 

After the session, your licensed acupuncturist will remove the needles, provide a treatment plan with lifestyle recommendations, and answer any questions.
