Meet Nyah! Our newest acupuncture extraordinaire joining the Oakland team. You can book with her now on Mondays!

04/22/2026

Exciting newness coming to Root & Stem! We are over joyed to introduce Nyah to the Oakland team!

Nyah Blais’s path into healthcare began early, inspired by her mother’s work as a nurse and lactation consultant. Originally planning to become a nurse herself, Nyah completed her nursing prerequisites before discovering a deeper calling in holistic medicine during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nyah’s introduction to acupuncture was deeply personal. While supporting her sister during treatment at UCSF Children’s Hospital, she witnessed firsthand the impact of integrative care. Seeing acupuncture used alongside Western medicine sparked a lasting inspiration and shaped her approach to healing.

She moved to the Bay Area to pursue her Master’s degree in Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine at AIMC in Berkeley. There, she received comprehensive clinical training across a variety of settings. Her experience includes working with women undergoing cancer treatment at the Charlotte Maxwell Clinic, supporting patients at the Women’s Resource Center in San Francisco, and treating orthopedic conditions with student athletes at UC Berkeley. She has also been involved in community care through pop-up clinics focused on q***r and trans wellness and climate-conscious health initiatives.

Growing up, Nyah spent most of her days outside on her family’s farm. She is a trained dancer in ballet and jazz and danced for 19 years.

She is especially passionate about reproductive and women’s health, trauma-informed care, and creating a safe, inclusive space for the LGBTQIA+ community. Nyah strives to ensure that every patient feels seen, supported, and empowered in their healing journey.

Outside of the clinic, she enjoys live music, reading, and staying connected to nature.

Meet the hands behind Root & Stem 🌿

Dr. Jessica Parker, owner and founder of Root and Stem, is a skilled practitioner of fire cupping—a time-honored technique from Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Fire cupping uses gentle heat to create a vacuum seal, allowing the cups to lift the skin and fascia.

This helps:
• increase circulation
• warm and soften tight tissues
• release stubborn knots and pain
• support the body’s natural healing response

Dr. Parker is known for her thoughtful, effective style—often using sliding cupping to move stagnation along the muscles, or placing a few cups for longer to invite deep, lasting release.

If your body is asking for relief, flow, and warmth—this is medicine with roots.

Before a needle is ever placed, Dr. Joseph listens.

The pulse and the body tell a story. Tension, heat, weakness, stagnation; his hands know how to read it.

That’s what turns a treatment into true, personalized medicine.

Pulse diagnosis and gentle palpation are two of the most important tools in Chinese Medicine.

Dr. Joseph uses them to understand how your nervous system, circulation, and organs are really functioning — so each treatment is based on what your body is actually asking for.
