Meet Chani Greiner
Doctorate in Acupuncture (DAC) • Board-Certified Licensed Acupuncturist (Lic.Ac.) • Board-Certified Holistic Health Practitioner • Consciousness & Coherence Healing Arts • Reiki Grand Master/ Teacher
Chani Greiner, Lic.Ac., creates a grounded, compassionate space for people who are ready to take an active role in their healing. Through acupuncture, East Asian medicine, Western herbal support, breathwork, and nervous system care, she offers tools that help the body reconnect with its own capacity to regulate, restore, and return to balance. Her work is rooted in the belief that healing is not something done to you, but something awakened within you. Your body is not broken. But rather, your body is intelligent, responsive, and capable of profound change when given the right support.
Why Chani Understands Your Journey
Chani doesn't just treat chronic illness — she's lived it. After years of navigating her own health challenges without answers from conventional medicine, she discovered the transformative power of natural healing at age 19. This personal experience means she truly understands what you're going through: the frustration, the searching, and the hope for real solutions.
What this means for you: You'll work with someone who listens deeply, meets you where you are, and draws from both clinical expertise and lived experience to guide your healing.
LEARN MORE ABOUT CHANI
Chani’s work is rooted in lived experience. From childhood digestive distress and food sensitivities to years of unanswered questions, she knows the loneliness of chronic illness, the frustration of not feeling heard, and what it feels like to live in a body that does not always feel safe, predictable, or easy to understand.
Her healing path began not because she felt well, but because she didn’t. After years of tests, appointments, and limited answers, Chani turned toward the deeper study of Western herbal medicine, energy work, meditation, psychology, Ayurveda, East Asian medicine, and the relationship between the nervous system, the mind, and the body. Over the past 20+ years, that search has become a lifelong devotion to understanding how to live, heal, and find steadiness as both physical and energetic beings.
Chani still walks her own healing path, which is why she honors yours with such care. Her role is not to “fix” you, but to share the tools, knowledge, and grounded space she has gathered along the way, so you can feel less alone in your process and more supported as you reconnect with your body’s capacity for regulation, resilience, and change.

Spiritual Foundation
Chani's approach is rooted in both Wise Woman Shamanic Herbalism and the Ayurvedic teachings of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. This unique blend brings together earth-based healing wisdom and meditative presence, creating a sacred space where your body, mind, and spirit can realign.
She integrates principles of presence, stillness, and self-realization into every session — honoring the intelligence of your body and the deeper wisdom that guides true healing.
Your Healing Starts Here
There is a deeper intelligence within you.
Beneath the pain, tension, stress, fatigue, and survival patterns, your body is always trying to communicate. It is always seeking balance. It is always responding to the conditions around it and within it.
Healing begins when you are supported in listening to that intelligence instead of fighting against your body.
Root Alchemy Acupuncture offers a grounded path into deeper regulation, coherence, and self connection. Through acupuncture, East Asian medicine, herbal wisdom, nervous system support, and consciousness and coherence healing arts, you are guided back toward the place where your body, mind, and energy can begin to work together again.
This is not surface level care. At Root Alchemy Acupuncture, we go beneath the surface to address the root. You deserve care built from real life, real resilience, and real results.
Evidence informed acupuncture and neuromuscular needling techniques to support pain relief, mobility, circulation, and nervous system regulation.
Trauma-informed care that helps your body shift out of survival mode and into lasting calm, with or without Acupuncture.
Western herbal medicine, Reiki, meditation, breathwork, and biofield informed practices that support the body’s natural rhythms and energetic balance.
Practical tools from acupressure guides to the Rooted Calm Guidebook to Certificate Pathways that extend your healing into daily life. 20+ years of healing techniques compiled into easy-to-use guides and programs.
This is not about quick fixes. This is root work — the kind of deep, embodied support that creates lasting change from the inside out.
"I became a healer because I was in need of healing."
