Medicine that listens
Four modalities. One philosophy. Care that is unhurried, individualized, and rooted in the classical traditions of East Asian medicine.
At Malachite Medicine, each service is complete in itself — and a potential thread in a larger care plan. Our team will work with you to understand which combination of modalities, and in what sequence, best supports your constitution, your current condition, and the life you want to live. All services are available in-office in Portland. Herbal medicine and astrology are also available remotely.
Acupuncture
Transformation begins here.
Your channels are already there — alive, intricate, working in every moment of every day to nourish you and protect your vital organs across the whole arc of your life. We know how the body works. We know the intelligence it brings to every moment of staying alive, even when something is off.
Our life's work as practitioners is discernment: finding the right channel to meet you in this moment — the one that will have the most far-reaching effect on your physiology, and with it, the signs and symptoms that brought you in.
This is a medicine that affirms life. It is for life. Every treatment at Malachite Medicine begins at the pulse — listening, before anything else, to what your body is asking for that day. From there, the channel finds you.
Classical acupuncture does not act upon your body. It meets it. It gives your body and your mind the chance to change, to remember, to do things differently.

Herbal Medicine
Reminding your body how to function optimally.
Classical East Asian herbalism is a complete system of medicine, refined over two thousand years of continuous clinical use. Every formula from our medicinary is compounded specifically for you — drawn from the classical canon and tailored to address the root of your pathology, not only its surface. As your body changes, your formula changes with it. Healing through the wisdom of plants, daily, at home or on the go.

Bodywork
The body responds profoundly when we listen.
You are a complex being with dynamic patterning, and where you feel pain is often not where it originates. Our bodywork honors the body's inherent wisdom, attuning to the exact signature of patterning your body holds and working with it rather than against it. Anchored in living anatomy, osteopathic principles, and the cranial system, this is hands-on care that supports you in living in a freer, more integrated way.

Astrology
Your chart is a map. Let's read it together.
Astrology is one of the oldest languages for understanding human nature — a framework for seeing the patterns that shape your character, your timing, and your unfolding. Offered by Kelsie, a Licensed Acupuncturist and Professional Astrologer. Sessions draw on both Western and Chinese astrology as a lens for self-understanding, life transitions, and deeper alignment with your nature. Not prediction. Illumination.
