Achieve your optimal wellness through Acupuncture & Chinese Herbal Medicine

I understand how disheartening it can be to navigate your health journey and advocate for yourself, especially if you’ve had challenges with other providers.

That’s why I’ve made it my mission to create a safe and compassionate space where you always feel supported.

Curious about what your first visit with me might look like?

It starts with a complimentary consultation (you can schedule in my link in bio). This is an opportunity for us to explore your health goals and where you can ask any questions you have about my approach to care.

If it feels like a good fit, we’ll schedule your full intake appointment at my office in downtown Portland. From there, I’ll design a custom acupuncture treatment plan that may also include prescription Chinese herbal medicine and functional nutrition, depending on your specific needs.

You don’t have to face your health challenges alone.

We’re so lucky to live in the Northwest! We have so many options for eating seasonally and locally, even into late fall and winter.

Right now broccoli, greens, apples, pears, garlic, and root vegetables are all in season - perfect for easy weeknight sheet pan dinners, roasted sides, and warming soups and stews!

When it comes to your own fertility journey, you may be feeling overwhelmed with the information you find online and advice friends and family may be sharing.

One of the best things you can do is to talk to a fertility expert so you can get specific answers to your questions.

Please feel free to set up a complimentary consultation with me to discuss if acupuncture, herbal medicine, and functional nutrition may be helpful to you at this stage.

My office is in downtown Portland, Oregon, and I often have clients who travel to see me.

While everyone is different, and solving fertility challenges can be complex and nuanced, these five tips will give you a good foundation going forward:

Engage in regular physical activity that feels sustainable to you. Find activities you enjoy, such as brisk walking, jogging, dancing, or cycling.

Chronic and elevated stress levels can impact reproductive hormones. Yoga, meditation, deep breathing, and other relaxation methods can be effective. Finding healthy outlets to cope with stress, such as hobbies, participating in community events, and spending time in nature, are also beneficial.

Tracking your menstrual cycle now will give you, and any future medical providers, a better understanding of your fertile days, monthly changes, and a big picture view of your cycle over time.

Food is such an important part of our lives. It is also an important key to fertility.

Focus on nutrient-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins.

This will help ensure you are getting enough vitamins and minerals like folic acid, iron, and zinc.

Get adequate rest. Your sleep goal should be seven to nine hours of sleep each night. Not getting enough sleep can impact your hormonal balance and fertility.

Limit toxins in your environment: Common household cleaners, beauty products, and even our food containers and cookware can contain endocrine disrupting hormones. Switching to clean beauty and cleaning products minimizes your exposure.

No matter where you are on your fertility journey, please know I’m here to support you!

Our IVF/IUI support is here to walk alongside you during your fertility journey.

Whether you’re starting or currently undergoing treatments like Clomid, Letrazole, IUI, or IVF, acupuncture can be a gentle and effective way to support your body and mind.

We have a history of working closely with ORM, OHSU, and other Reproductive Endocrinologists and OB-GYNs in the Portland area to create an integrative care plan that supports you at every step.

I often work with patients who have felt unheard and dismissed by conventional medicine.

As someone who has been in that position myself, I know how important it is to listen as well as address both the physical and emotional aspects of fertility.

It is my privilege to work with my patients on these deeply personal and often challenging paths. I’m honored that some patients drive hours to see me, and I don’t take that trust for granted.

Fertility struggles can take a toll on one’s quality of life, but together, we can work towards positive outcomes and improved overall well-being.

I am here to guide you through this process, and I am dedicated to your well-being and success.

I absolutely credit her with helping me and my partner conceive after years of ‘unexplained infertility’.” -A
