Mankato Acupuncture Clinic is the private practice of Stephanie Hylla. She is licensed by the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice, and is a National Board Certified Diplomate in Acupuncture by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).
In 2020, Stephanie graduated with a doctoral degree in acupuncture from Pacific College of Health Science, San Diego. She earned her masters degree in acupuncture from the Minnesota College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine at Northwestern Health Sciences University (NWHSU) in 2010. Shortly thereafter, Stephanie traveled to China and completed a Certificate of Study at Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. She also received her undergraduate degree from the College of St. Benedict in her hometown of St. Joseph, MN in 1995.
Since 2019, Stephanie has been adjunct faculty at NWHSU and works as a clinic supervisor for the acupuncture program. Her clinic site is Courage Kenny, Golden Valley, where she trains advanced acupuncture students in how to treat traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries. She does this in both the in-patient Transitional Rehabilitation Program, and out-patient group settings.
Stephanie served as the President of the Alumni Board for the Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine program at NWHSU for five years, and earned the 2017 Distinguished Service Award for her alum advocacy successes.
Stephanie is very passionate about what Traditional Chinese Medicine has to offer and has a wonderful desire to educate the public in how it can complement any level of health care treatment. It is her mission to show how both Eastern and Western Medicines can work together to fulfill the common goal of giving people the best healthcare options they deserve.
Professional, Thorough, Sensitive to the Patient’s Concerns
“Stephanie Hylla was definitely the right person for me. I have always been interested in alternative medicine but leaned toward chiropractic to treat pain caused by subluxation of my cervical vertebrae. When I met Stephanie she taught me a lot about my neck and explained what treatment was available through her. The thought of needles all over me sort of bummed me out until I watched her demonstration of how tiny they were and what they would accomplish. My neck pain is gone and range of motion improved after just a few treatments.
Stephanie is professional, thorough, sensitive to the patient’s concerns and a pleasure to know. If anyone has second thoughts about acupuncture, I recommend that they discuss their needs with Stephanie and they will find their fears unfounded and allayed.”
