Patrick Riley (he/they), L.Ac., Dipl. OM, MSTOM, is a licensed Acupuncturist and NCCAOM board-certified Herbalist in Illinois and Wisconsin. He specializes in supporting both male and female fertility and has worked in conjunction with KindBody fertility clinic providing acupuncture treatments for people undergoing embryo transfers. In addition to helping people with their reproductive health, Patrick has particular interest in treating psycho-emotional well-being, chronic pain, digestion imbalances, auto-immune disorders, and men’s health. Guided by an unwavering commitment to inclusivity, Patrick’s time at Chicago Women’s Health Center (during his 1000 clinical hour master’s program in acupuncture and herbal medicine), ignited a passion for aiding women, transgender, and nonbinary individuals on their reproductive health journeys. In 2016 he earned the 500hr yoga teacher distinction (RYT) and taught classes throughout Chicago, with a focus on restorative and therapeutic yoga, hands on healing, and pranayama breath work. During this time, he also began working for various chiropractors in the city furthering his education in anatomy and kinesiology, postural alignment, structural integrity, and physical therapy regimes. He is currently in a two-year post-grad mentorship studying classical herbal medicine with renowned doctor, Sharon Weizenbaum. Prior to working in this field, he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in theatre from University of California, Santa Cruz and a master’s degree in acting from University of California, San Diego. His diverse background of study and experience allows him to truly see and treat the whole person, in body, mind, and spirit. In his free time he enjoys stewarding and tending to various native plant restoration projects he began in both Chicago and southern California, as well as practicing yoga, running, writing, playing music, and nurturing quality time with his community, wife, and daughter.
