About Franchesca Isaac
Since 2011, Franchesca Isaac has been a dedicated acupuncturist, channeling her passion for holistic healing into transformative treatments. Her academic journey began at Morgan State University, where she earned a Bachelor's degree in Biology, providing the scientific groundwork for her future in natural medicine.
Seeking to merge her love for science with her innate desire to help others, Franchesca set her sights on Tri-State College of Acupuncture in New York City. Obtaining a Master's degree in Acupuncture.
For Franchesca, acupuncture is more than just a profession; it's a profound calling. She finds immense joy in witnessing the transformative impact of acupuncture and East Asian medicine. Her Afro-Latina heritage has played an integral role in shaping her unique approach to healing, infusing her practice with cultural sensitivity and a deep connection to her roots.
The holistic approach to health and well-being that is ingrained in her cultural heritage resonates deeply with the principles of acupuncture. Both traditions emphasize the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, recognizing the vital energy that flows through us all. Embracing her heritage has been an invaluable asset on my journey as an acupuncturist, enabling me to bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and modern practice in a way that is authentic and deeply meaningful.
Outside the treatment room, Franchesca can be found tending to her own health and wellness journey, while enjoying simple pleasures of life. Such as tending to her plant babies, obsessing over her new found love of pilates, and spending time with her kids and family.
Franchesca Isaac's journey is a beautiful blend of science, culture, family, and nature, all converging to create a life dedicated to fostering wellness, one acupuncture session at a time.
