Acupuncture & CLASSICAL Chinese medicine in SE Portland
Transform your health with classical, effective acupuncture that goes beyond temporary fixes to address the root cause of your symptoms. Not all acupuncture is the same — and even if you've tried it before with underwhelming results, we encourage you to come see us! In addition to their four years of medical school training, Sara and Remi are each thoroughly trained in advanced acupuncture techniques, equipping us to work with both simple and complex health issues.
Our integrative approach combines classical Chinese medicine with advanced acupuncture techniques, trigger point dry needling, infrared heat therapy, cupping, gua sha, and herbal medicine to provide deep healing for pain, stress, perimenopause, women's health, hormonal issues, and more.
Whether you're seeking relief from a specific symptom, whole-body wellness, or natural skin rejuvenation through cosmetic acupuncture or microneedling, our treatments are tailored to your unique situation to help you achieve lasting results.
We're located in inner SE Portland in the historic Ford Building, where we're happy to offer one-on-one care in our sunny, light-filled studio. We accept Moda, Regence BCBS, Providence, and CareOregon (OHP) insurance, in addition to courtesy billing for auto accidents and MVA insurance — making acupuncture accessible to the Portland community.
We've helped hundreds of happy patients navigate a variety of health concerns — from digestive issues to chronic pain, to fertility challenges, to perimenopause. Read some of what they have to say here.

How it’s different here.
-
I see only one patient at a time, and spend a full hour with each patient (more at the initial visit) getting to know the ins and outs of their body better and better each time. Many acupuncturists will see multiple patients at a time. Working with patients one on one allows us to get more nuanced with treatments and address your overall health picture more comprehensively.
-
My adherence to classical Chinese medicine principles means that I spend time diagnosing based on pattern differentiation, and treat accordingly. There is no one-size-fits-all prescription, nor is there one protocol or treatment for X symptom or disease. You and your neighbor might both suffer from indigestion and bloating, and the appropriate treatments for each of you might be vastly different. It is my job to uncover why your body is expressing the symptoms that it is, and treat the root of that.
-
It is my passion to help humans to understand their bodies and to learn how to care for them in ways that become intuitive over time. Sometimes this means discussing how to prepare food and eat in ways to promote health. Sometimes this means addressing your sleep, even if that’s not why you came in originally. Sometimes this means learning how to keep your hips mobile even when you are far away from the acupuncture table. Sometimes it means addressing the headache that you happen to have today, or the digestive issue that is underlying the headaches that you get. The body is one great, vast system, and it is all relevant.
