OLIVIA RIVERA

Acupuncturist

​

Olivia holds a B.A. in Biology and Environmental Science from Colby College and a Doctorate in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine from Oregon College of Oriental Medicine in Portland. Her introduction to acupuncture came from her own journey as a collegiate ice hockey player dealing with a persistent shoulder injury. After surgery and extensive rehab failed to fully restore her mobility, Olivia turned to acupuncture, experiencing a transformation that sparked her dedication to the field.

​

With over ten years of experience in fitness and Olympic weightlifting, Olivia combines her knowledge of sports medicine and body mechanics to deliver comprehensive care.

 

Her approach draws from both traditional acupuncture practices and advanced techniques, including dry needling, electroacupuncture, cupping, and gua sha. She is passionate about helping her patients find relief from pain and optimize their movement, bringing a balanced blend of expertise and empathy to every session.
