As the granddaughter of traditional midwives and healers from Puebla, Mexico, Takhinsha carries forward a lineage of curanderas and birth workers. She weaves together modern Chinese medicine with ancestral wisdom to support women through every stage of motherhood with compassion, balance, and empowerment.

Takhinsha Hollis, LAc received her Master’s degree in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine from Pacific College of Health and Science in Chicago specializing in perinatal and women’s health care. She completed a Perinatal Mentorship with Dr. Deb Davies, where she deepened her clinical focus on fertility, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and hormonal balance.

Her training extends beyond formal education into immersive global and ancestral learning. She studied Chinese Medicine at the Zhongfang Red Cross International Hospital in Hunan Province China, learned traditional bloodletting techniques at a Vietnamese Buddhist temple, and received certification in traditional herbal medicine in the Philippines. She also completed “Ceremony of Birth,” an Indigenous childbirth education training with Maestra Montserrat Olmos of Rising Matriarchs Community and Indigenous Herbal School, and trained in Tending the Belly through Tul’ix Indigenous Arts, rooted in the Masewal Maya lineage of Don Elijio Panti. Takhinsha is currently completing her Full Spectrum Doula training.

Takhinsha offers community acupuncture sessions that incorporate guided meditation and breathwork at two locations in Milwaukee and Oconomowoc, creating accessible, restorative spaces for perinatal care and women in all stages of life.
