December 22, 2025: Practice Closure Announcement

Dear patients, friends and colleagues,

After much reflection, I’m reaching out to share that I will be closing HolisticND, my naturopathic practice (consulting, acupuncture and lab services), effective February 28, 2026. **

This decision comes with mixed emotions. For fifteen years, I have had the true privilege of walking alongside so many of you on your healing journeys, and I am deeply grateful for the trust you placed in me and for the relationships we have built.

Following HolisticND's closure, I will prioritize important personal matters and allow space to explore other professional paths that align with where I feel I am being called next. While this chapter is ending, the values that have guided my work—compassion, integrity, and whole-person care—will continue to shape whatever comes next.

Transition of Care:
To support continuity of care, I encourage all patients to establish care with another licensed naturopathic and/or functional healthcare provider. If you would like a copy of your medical records or assistance with transferring records to a new provider, please download and complete our Release of Information (ROI) form (download it here: holisticndlife.com/contact-us), then submit to lori@holisticndlife.com by February 20, 2026.

You can also login to your profile at holisticnd.janeapp.com and self-download all reports, provider notes and receipts/statements.

Requests received after Feb 20, 2026 will be handled in accordance with state record-retention requirements.

Important Dates:
- Jan 30th: Last date that laboratory testing (blood draws and/or ordering specialty kits) will be available.
- February 28th: Last date for acupuncture in Bismarck and all consultations (in-person and virtual), subject to availability. After February 28th, I will no longer be providing clinical services.
**To allow for use of all pre-paid sessions, acupuncture in Minot will continue to be available for existing patients through March 28th.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of your care. I am deeply appreciative of the opportunity to serve you and wish each of you continued health and well-being.

With everlasting gratitude,
Stephanie Nishek, ND

Please allow me a moment to express my thanks to my amazing team (current and recent past): Lori, Kaitlyn, Danielle and Aleisha. HolisticND would not have had the impact it did without each of you. And, I'm so grateful for the opportunity to partner with these exceptional businesses: Inner Reflection Holistic Health Center (Minot) and Active Life Chiropractic (Bismarck).
