PORTLAND, OR | ACUPUNCTURE & CHINESE MEDICINE
Rooted care for a restless world.
Whether you're looking for something to work alongside your existing therapy or medication, or seeking a different path entirely — there is a place for you here.
THIS PRACTICE IS FOR YOU IF…
You’re already in care
You’re working with a therapist, GP, or psychiatrist and want to support your healing from another angle.
You’re looking for something different
Conventional medicine hasn't given you the answers or relief you need, and you're ready to try a different approach.
You’re curious and ready
You've been drawn to acupuncture and Chinese Medicine and want to work with someone who will take their time with you.
You don’t have it all figured out to walk through the door.
MY APPROACH
One patient. One room. Full Presence.
I see one patient at a time — a deliberate departure from the revolving-door model of modern healthcare. When you're here, you have my complete attention from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave.
As a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist, I work through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine — with a particular focus on Five Element Acupuncture, a style of practice that works with your unique constitution to address not just your symptoms, but the root patterns beneath them.
My treatment philosophy is rooted in the understanding that our emotional and nervous system health is inseparable from our physical wellbeing — and that our bodies carry an innate capacity to heal when properly supported.

Chinese Medicine has a remarkably broad application. These are the areas I focus on most — but reach out if you don't see your concern listed.
Emotional & nervous system health
Anxiety, depression, stress, PTSD, mood disorders, panic, burnout and addiction — Chinese Medicine has a deep and sophisticated understanding of the mind-body relationship.
Chronic & complex conditions
East Asian medicine excels where conventional medicine struggles — autoimmune conditions, fibromyalgia, Lyme, MS, and more.
Energy & sleep
Fatigue, insomnia, adrenal exhaustion, hormonal imbalance — restoring your energy from the root, not just the surface.
Women's health & hormones
From menarche to menopause — irregular cycles, PMS, PCOS, endometriosis, fertility, IVF support, pregnancy, and postpartum care.
Pain management
Headaches, back pain, sports injuries, arthritis, post-surgical recovery — acupuncture reduces inflammation and supports lasting relief.

“I've been treated by a lot of practitioners. Emily is by far the most caring, nurturing and intuitive. You step into a room with her and feel like you're being truly seen, heard and hugged. The release and relief I felt after our acupuncture session was so valuable and supportive. When you see Emily you won't want to see anyone else."

“Emily is the kind of practitioner I hope treats me to the end of my days as she will sit in anything with you. She evokes an ease and comfort in the treatment room while paying close attention to detail that simply is not offered by most practitioners. She is a breadth of knowledge and will make you feel right at home.”

“Emily’s impact on my life is hard to put into words. I came to her during a time of my life filled with a lot of confusion and change. Her ability to listen to me, ask heartfelt questions, and exemplify her healing mastery offered me a safe space to navigate the challenges in my life at that time. I am forever grateful for her influence and am inspired to treat others with the same patience she offered me!”
