Dr. Samantha Hotchkiss, D.Ac, Dipl. Ac, L.Ac., CHC
Dr. Samantha Hotchkiss, D.Ac, Dipl. Ac, L.Ac, CHC, has been actively studying Chinese Medicine since 2014, after completing her training from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition to become a Certified Health Coach. In 2019 she graduated summa cum laude from the Pacific College of Health and Science (PCHS) with her Doctorate of Acupuncture, and became board certified by the NCCAOM shortly thereafter. She is now licensed in the state of Wisconsin.
During her time at PCHS, she had logged 720 hours in a clinical setting, with 420 of those hours as a clinical intern. Her internships included both the PCHS community clinic as well as the Chicago Women’s Health Center. Additionally, Samantha has over 125 clinical assistantship hours under the guidance of highly esteemed Marie-France Collin, L.Ac. in her practice in downtown Chicago. Samantha is dedicated to furthering her education with CEUs in auriculotherapy, psycho-emotional disorders, chronic pain, digestive disorders, and autoimmunity. In addition to her trainings on the physical body, she has also graduated from two five-month Clairvoyant Trainings at Invision School of Psychic Abilities between 2017 and 2018, completing over 150 hours of meditation. She is still an active member in their community, attending online workshops and doing weekly readings.
Some of Samantha's interests include learning about the human experience, walking in the woods, spending time with her friends and family, cooking, meditating, exercising, and traveling the globe. One of her main goals is to assist people on their journeys by encouraging them to see the beauty inside of themselves. She understands that nourishing the mind, body, and spirit will not only increase quality of life, but also allow people to tap into something deeper: their own truths and highest potentials. She utilizes her unique gifts of clairvoyance and innate healing energy to get to the root of disharmony, and provide movement, healing, and growth to her patients.
