Exciting Announcement!
It is with great love that I announce that I will be opening a private practice in a new location starting September 2nd, at the Heal House in Portland, Oregon. It has been a beautiful journey to invest myself so fully in creating a space for the continued growth and evolution of my work. Welcoming current and new patients + still accepting most major insurances.

Book Online at Heart Bridge Medicinal Arts Acupuncture is the insertion of very fine, filiform needles through the skin at specific points on the body with the intention of manipulating Qi.

Enticing myself to sit down at my desk with a cozy ritual for today - a beautiful oolong tea ceremony as I get into my workflow. Peace and pleasure are powerful invitations.

And a little inspiration to get my creative juices going….

blessing the boats
by Lucille Clifton

may the tide
that is entering even now
the lip of our understanding
carry you out
beyond the face of fear
may you kiss
the wind then turn from it
certain that it will love your back    
may you open your eyes to water
water waving forever
and may you in your innocence
sail through this to that

You know how sometimes you have these a-ha moments and you get to see yourself really clearly? This week talking with my husband, I re-realized that I love to share about what I’m learning, not what I “know.” I’ve been in and out of my little window here on IG (and I still think it’s important to take retreat away from social media and screens in general as a matter of health). However, I am feeling really inspired to share what I get to do, to notice, to hold, to consider, to nurture, to feel here in office with you all.

At the very center of what I do is curiosity - a commitment to not knowing- but always discovering and deepening my presence.
That’s why I’m starting a series of posts where I intend to share what I’m learning from you all- how what I get to observe drives my inspiration and the continual refining of all my skill sets. I hope by sharing these tidbits and artifacts from my daily work that it will open the way to the stream through which all healing and “knowing” flows.

Happy Lunar New Year! And beginning of Spring starting this Friday! Lots to celebrate here and now.

This is me finishing up a day of work and reflecting on my gratitude for what I get to do and the incredible humans I get to do it with- you are my teachers and the collaboration had through the medium of healing are broad paint strokes that color my world with curiosity, tenderness, and connection. Not a day goes by where I don’t feel inspired by this work. You keep me reaching into my heart, into my books, into the support found in every present moment. A deep bow of gratitude for every person who has invited me into their lives and allowed me to care for their body, mind, and spirits. I’m happy you’re here.

Here’s to another year of joyful work together!

Ever wondered why an acupuncturist observes your tongue? Tongue diagnosis is a tool for us to get insight into what’s going on with the organs of your body, as well as the state of the fluids in your body, the quality of the movement of your blood, and many other important indicators for health. It guides our treatment as well as clues us into herbs and lifestyle changes that may be supportive for you. What is your tongue communicating to you today?
