At Malachite Medicine, we trust in your body's innate healing power

The body speaks openly to those who have learned to listen — through the pulse, through observation, through the kind of attention a tradition refined over centuries teaches us to bring.

We have the privilege of witnessing this medicine at work each day, and we are humbled, again and again, by its power and by the unyielding kindness with which it meets each person who comes to us. Our role within it is simple: to recognize what your body is already doing, to translate it, and to help it.

What you receive is unhurried care shaped to who you actually are — your constitution, your history, the particular way your body is asking to be met in this season of your life. To witness this medicine, and to be entrusted with your care, is one of the great blessings of our practice.

Welcoming new patients in-office in Portland, Oregon, and remotely across the World.

Symptoms are not problems to be silenced.

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.

  • "You leave her office not just feeling physically better but somehow more grounded and still."

    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.

  • I reached out to Kelsie asking a simple question, and she went above and beyond with her answer.

    I reached out to Kelsie asking a simple question, and she went above and beyond with her answer. I knew absolutely nothing about astrology and after 30 minutes with her I walked away understanding so much more than I thought I would. She took the time to fully explain every question I had, and elaborated on everything without me asking her to. I sent her information to friends immediately after our call — I truly cannot recommend her enough.
