Stacy Tucker, RN
Co-Founder
Stacy Tucker, MAP-Certified, started Taochemy® because of her experiences as a trauma nurse, nutrition researcher and student of self. During her time working directly with patients at Saint Luke’s Hospital, Truman Medical Center and Children’s Mercy in Kansas City, she discovered the profound healing power of transformative acupuncture and nutrition. With each needle she administered, she witnessed immediate physical healing and stress relief.
After years of working with private clients, large organizations and treating underserved communities, Stacy found that the long-term benefits of five-point acupuncture were consistent across all groups—especially when combined with nutrition, breathwork and other embodiment tools. However, she noticed that these powerful forms of healing weren't easily accessible to the everyday person.
Recognizing the high levels of mental and physical stress in our modern lives, Stacy envisioned a world where everyone could take a moment to reconnect with themselves and find balance. This vision led her to begin the Taochemy® journey. Guided by a blend of Eastern philosophies of bodily harmony and Western clinical research, Stacy gathered like-minded professionals to create Taochemy®, making holistic healing more accessible to all.
