They are messages — your body's way of asking for what it needs. Our work is to listen, and to help you do the same.

  • When I relocated to Portland, I was nervous about finding someone who could truly understand the complexity of what I was dealing with.

    Melinda put those fears to rest almost immediately. Within just a few sessions, she had me feeling like myself again. Her needle work is precise and intuitive ... she has a gift for reading the body and knowing exactly what it needs. She is a truly gifted practitioner. Her compassion is extraordinary, and she brings such presence and attentiveness to every session that it inspires you to cultivate that same quality in your own life. You leave her office not just feeling physically better but somehow more grounded and still. I'm so grateful to have found someone equally skilled, if not more so, right here in Portland. I couldn't recommend her more highly.

  • "The team here are wise, compassionate, and skilled people who are at the cutting edge of their craft

    Passionately studying the intersection between acupuncture, bodywork, herbalism, and mental health. Heart-full people of integrity.”

  • “I am an acupuncturist myself and was blown away by my acupuncture session with Melinda.

    She is incredibly skilled at her craft as well as personable, knowledgeable, and caring. The very cozy vibe of the space is an added bonus. I’ll be back!”

  • “I’ve been seeing Melinda for nearly 5 years

    After struggling with chronic Lyme disease and bouncing from MD to ND to acupuncturist searching for help — finally found relief with her. The changes in my health since are monumental, and I am forever grateful for her care.”
