Dr. Zeynep here! I am the chiropractic supervisor at ICM/Oshun Center for Intercultural Healing within Family Tree Clinic.

During my time at Northwestern, I interned and trained under Dr. Wilde, Dr. Farrar and Dr. Zachman as well as at Southside Chiropractic under Dr. Borrell. In addition I spent the majority of my clinical internship doing rotations at both Salvation Army (Dr. Novak) and ICM (Dr. Wilde) and really built the foundations of my clinic using the knowledge from these rotations.

My main priority as a holistic wellness provider is ensuring my patients feel comfort, empathy and autonomy. I treat my patients as their teammate and their provider because at the end of the day, we all deserve to be heard and seen.

As a supervisor, my goal is to help my interns feel empowered to use their clinical thinking and reasoning skills and if things feel sticky or confusing, I’m there to offer support. Being a more gentle practitioner, I will help you expand your treatment style to accommodate folks who are hypermobile or have extra sensitivities. I look forward to working with you!

Hello! My name is Nikki Vang. I was raised in a family deeply rooted in the wisdom of traditional Chinese and South East Asian medicine, I’ve experienced a unique approach to wellness that transcends generations. I learned traditional remedies passed down through generations—whether it was a comforting bowl of chicken soup infused with medicinal herbs or the gentle application of herbal ointments to alleviate discomfort.

I earned my Masters Degree in Acupuncture in 2022, and my Doctorate in Chinese Medicine in 2023 at Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington. My clinical experience includes Woodwinds Hospital in Woodbury, the University of Minnesota Medical Center—Riverside and Journey Center locations, and the Integrative Clinic of Minnesota in Minneapolis. I did my herbal internship Derusha clinic and the Bloomington Clinic at Northwestern Health Science University. ​

During my free time I enjoy spending time with my husband and family playing board games, singing and playing my musical instruments (guitar, piano and hulusi).
