Stephanie Fischer is a Doctor of Acupuncture with a Master’s degree in acupuncture currently practicing in Rhode Island. She is licensed to practice acupuncture by the Rhode Island Department of Health and is a Diplomate of Acupuncture by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. In 2009 Stephanie earned her Master’s degree in both Chinese and Japanese styles of acupuncture from the New England School of Acupuncture, the oldest acupuncture school in the United States. Additional post-graduate work and training includes a certification in Kiiko Matsumoto style acupuncture, Shinkiko healing and pediatrics under sensei Koei Kuwahara in Boston, Advanced Acupuncture for the Cancer Patient from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and Engaging Vitality which is a combination of osteopathy and acupuncture.

Through years of training Stephanie specializes in pediatrics and non-insertive needle techniques. From 2014-2016 she worked as a part-time acupuncturist with a focus on pediatrics as part of the HOPES Program at the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center where she provided acupuncture in both inpatient and outpatient settings to adult and pediatric patients undergoing radiation and chemotherapy.

In 2018 Stephanie traveled to Osaka and Kyoto, Japan to deepen her acupuncture training and cultural immersion by completing an intensive study under teachers of Kiiko Matsumoto in pediatrics, facial rejuvination, moxabustion techniques and the M-Test with the revered Dr. Yoshito Mukaino.

Stephanie is a dual Swiss and American citizen and first became interested in acupuncture while she was a young child in Switzerland accompanying family members on local trips to the village acupuncturist. Stephanie later began acupuncture treatments for her asthma at the age of fifteen and the results were so remarkable that she vowed to dedicate her interests in the healing profession. In addition to her busy practice in Providence, Stephanie continues to give guest lectures at Brown University on acupuncture and complementary medicine and pursue further studies with a focus on fertility and pregnancy support after her own personal journey. Recently Keystone Family Acupuncture became a referred Acupuncture provider by the Women and Infant’s Hospital Fertility Center in Providence, RI.

We are impressed with her felt-sense of exactly what is going on, and her ability to shift things quickly.

Since childhood watching MASH on television, I have always known that I wanted to be a doctor. I went into naturopathic medicine because I wanted to see a change in my health. I was living in Anchorage, Alaska when I was extremely fatigued and feeling deeply blue. I went to a naturopath who was a great listener and diagnostician and she determined that I had a severe Vitamin D deficiency. Following my naturopath’s recommended treatment plan, my mood and my energy levels came back to life. Inspired by this natural turnaround, I had an epiphany - and remembered my childhood calling to help others. So began my journey to becoming an Naturopathic Physician. While at med school, my husband hurt his back severely and surgery was recommended. After discussing his case with some of my professors, we were directed to try acupuncture as an alternative to narcotic pain pills and possible surgery. Wow, how it worked! He avoided surgery and no longer needed pills to manage pain. Seeing the success of this ancient healing method - I quickly enrolled in the Masters of Acupuncture program as a dual degree.

I’m passionate about the body’s innate intelligence and approach each case like a puzzle, looking for physical, emotional and energetic cues to my patient’s health concerns and pain. I often give optional “homework” because I love inspiring people to heal themselves.
