LITTLE HOUSE IS A LOOSE TRANSLATION OF THE ACUPUNCTURE POINT 少府 (SHAO FU / HEART 8)
Acupuncture points have stories: Little House represents a place to be cared for. It’s a place to rest. We exist because we believe everyone needs that place.

NICOLE LONERGAN, LAC
SHE/HER
I’ve studied under specialists in sports medicine and love working with patients to relieve pain, restore function, and support overall balance. I’m also passionate about treating mental health, bringing together the somatic and spiritual elements of acupuncture to support emotional healing.
Outside of the clinic, you can find me doing yoga, rollerblading around the lakes, or painting.


SHELBY PASELL, LAC
SHE/HER
I've had the privilege of learning from practitioners with deep knowledge in menstrual health, sports injuries, and pregnancy/fertility, and what I love about this practice is the ability to keep learning every day. With me, you can expect treatments informed by both classical theory and peer-reviewed research.
I enjoy supporting folks with complex chronic conditions using acupuncture and herbs, and will earn my doctorate in acupuncture with Chinese herbal medicine specialization in December.
When not in clinic, you'll find me bouldering, reading, or out on a walk with my dogs Davey and Pepper.
