Acupuncture in Portland - Finding the Right Acupuncturist for You

Portland is a wonderful town full of many highly skilled acupuncturists practicing many different "styles" of Oriental medicine.

Many people have heard of acupuncture, but few people know that there are actually many different kinds or styles of acupuncture.  What doesn't change is the effectiveness of this ancient system of medicine for addressing your health and wellness concerns.

Finding the right acupuncturist is much like finding the "right" anything in life, whether its a dentist, plumber or pediatrician.  Look for someone who listens, who understands your needs and who benefits you by the services they provide.  Someone whom you "jive" with. 

If you're reading this, most likely you're searching for some support.  As with choosing any professional you'd like to work with, I recommend learning more about them, their style and what they specifically have to offer.

My style of acupuncture is gentle and incorporates my life experience with a wide range of healing modalities. I studied shiatsu in a small tatami mat room in Kyoto, Japan over two years and spent an intensive month in Chiang Mai, Thailand studying Thai Massage. 

I know that ultimately, you are a soul who has a body and that nothing that shows up in your physical container is unconnected to your life and greater purpose in some way. I take the time to get to know about you and how your bodily health fits into your wider life experience.  

Through workshops, colleagues and friends I've gained experience with fascia, subtle energy medicines, light and sound therapies. I earned my yoga teacher certification in Nasik, India and lived at a yoga ashram from three months learning and helping with trainings there.  My Oriental Medicine training included instruction in various kinds of Qigong.  I went above and beyond this, studying JinGui Golden Shield Qigong an ancient temple style lineage of training.

I want you to find the right acupuncturist for you and that may or may not be me.  When we talk before you even make an appointment, together, we can determine what will serve you best.  I can also direct you to colleagues and other resources to get you to the best fit.
