Health Professionals in Portland, OR

If you're considering acupuncture for the first time, it's important to look for someone you feel comfortable with, someone you can trust. I practiced in Los Angeles, Santa Monica & Beverly Hills for 15 yrs before moving to Portland in 2016. Over 23 yrs of practice has taught me how to treat many different, complex health issues and stress & pain management. I specialized in Infertility and Women's Health for many years & still provide on-site acupuncture for IVF patients the day of their embryo transfer. Home visits are available if you can't come in for treatment. Reach out with questions to see if I may be able to help you.

I primarily treat chronic pain and musculoskeletal injuries. My belief is that these are often multi-faceted. Injuries can ultimately be a result of structural or movement imbalances that go beyond a simple slip and fall. Pain itself can have multiple causes; there are different "types" of pain. As such, patients often need a diverse approach and my goal is to help guide this process.

"When the Qi is blocked, you have pain or illness. Acupuncture & Chinese massage could unbloke the Qi and you will heal". I like to spend quality time with every patient and provide the highest level of care. By taking the time to not only treat the symptoms but also check the root cause. I treat the "whole" person -- body, mind and spirit.

My greatest joy comes from empowering individuals and families to live vibrant, healthy lives. While honoring your unique preferences and wisdom, I inspire people of all ages to live fully, peacefully, and with awareness. Partnering with nature, I use natural remedies, acupuncture, craniosacral, diet, lifestyle, and homeopathy to promote optimal health; while also tending the mental/emotional connections to your health. Patients come to me who want to explore the ways in which their body is communicating to them so that we can find ways to restore health and freedom.

With 26 years experience, I have a skilled, intuitive sense of touch. My specialties include trigger point massage (NMT), craniosacral therapy, and Bowen Therapy. Most of my clients see me for regular stress management or postural and overuse issues resulting in muscle pain. With respect to pressure I will listen to your tissues and assess what is needed. I accept motor vehicle accident cases and can bill for this directly. I am also a Mayo Clinic Certified Wellness Coach and offer health and wellness coaching sessions.

My goal for any treatment is to help bring the body back into a state of coherence. When we’re in a state of coherence, our breath is expansive, our muscles are hydrated, our digestion is strong, our skin and eyes glow, and we feel more like ourselves. This is the state where healing and regeneration happens. With continued treatment and practice over time, this state can become more of a baseline.

I have been a practicing physician for 20 years. As a Naturopathic Doctor I specialize in musculoskeletal rehabilitation (acute and chronic joint and muscle pain), and women’s health (PMS, menopause, fatigue, insomnia, thyroid, hormones). In evaluation I use a variety of assessment tools including functional exams, labs, and imaging. I have a unique functional approach when addressing musculoskeletal pain that comes from years of training in human movement.

My clients want to focus on their nutrition concerns (disordered eating, digestive health, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, autoimmune, fertility, and more) with a dietitian who values quality of life and a healthy relationship to food and body, rather than calorie counting and weight loss. You have a clear motivation for change, and are willing to be creative and open minded in your approach to managing your nutrition. I value open communication and transparency with my clients and want to support those who show up to do the work. I will gently guide and encourage you along the way, with compassion and patience.

I love helping my clients achieve their ideal weight and manage any chronic health conditions. Nutrition is not one-size-fits-all, so I really spend the time getting to know my clients and offer a personalized plan that will work for you. If going in one direction doesn't work for you, we will regroup and try something else until we find a way to help you live your best possible life while still enjoying what you eat. I also offer meal planning services, complete with grocery lists and recipes!

You're not meant to keep struggling with irregular cycles, fatigue, mood swings, and weight that just won't come off.

Struggling with fertility when you want to grow your family not only affects you physically but also emotionally and mentally.

My goal is to truly understand a person's health goals whether physical, mental, emotional, spiritual - or a combination thereof. Many of the patients I work with may be dealing with: fatigue, stress, pain, gastrointestinal issues, skin conditions, anxiety, depression, and many other conditions that perhaps haven't been adequately addressed by previous providers. I strive to understand the whole-person imbalances that may be contributing to the development of symptoms.

Patients need to feel better so I first reduce current symptoms to improve immediate health, and then work with patients in a caring and respectful relationship to discover and treat the underlying cause, meet each patient's health goals, and prevent future disease.

At East West College in Portland, Oregon; I completed the 801 hour program specializing in Myofascial Realignment while including modalities in Trigger Point, Postural Assessments, PNF, Deep Tissue, Neuromuscular Therapy, and Structural Integration. I was on the path towards nursing working in the Trauma Unit. There, I realized that my true healing potential to assist others along their unique journey towards ultimate well being, and my healing intentions was best expressed through the power of touch. I now focus my practice mostly for those experiencing chronic pain, motor vehicle accidents, and post surgery as well as those in sports training.
