About Me

My name is Dr. Nicole K. Andrade. My medicine name is Khieron. I am an Holistic Healer, a Shamanic and Clinical Herbalist, a Ceremonialist and Mother. My great spirit comes in many forms. All of my study and healing work is part of daily sacred ceremony and ministry.

I also maintain a designation of DC (Doctor of Chiropractic) in Massachusetts and CACCP (Certification from the Academy of Family Practice and the Council on Chiropractic Pediatrics). I am certified in many proven effective techniques including the Webster Technique for pregnancy. I participate in a practice based research network to prove the efficacy and safety of chiropractic care in pregnancy and pediatrics.

I owned and operated Atlantic Family Chiropractic, PC in Gloucester, MA for 13 years and was a co-founder of the Treetop Yoga Studio as the next step to helping make Gloucester a destination for integrative healing. I currently offer chiropractic treatment at The Lydian Center for Innovative Healthcare in Cambridge, Massachusetts where I am developing my role in the teaching and researching of Axial Stability Method chiropractic technique through the Zebrin Foundation. I offer my personal Ministry and Service out of my home in East Gloucester, MA.

I have studied ethnobotanical and spiritual healing traditions since 2004 with churches and indigenous and traveling healers, in and of New England, New York, New Mexico, Missouri and of the Amazon regions of Peru, Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador. The International Herbal Symposium connected me with another incredible local plant medicine teacher and I attended the Early Herbalists one year apprenticeship program with Margi Flint at Earthsong Herbals in Marblehead, MA in 2016-2017 and completed Rosemary Gladstar’s Science and Art of Herbalism program. I enjoy ongoing work on my personal materia medica and apothecary.
