Transformation begins here.

We speak the language of the body. We are here to listen.

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.

  • "She is incredibly skilled at her craft as well as personable, knowledgeable, and caring."

    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 finally found relief..."

    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.

  • "...it literally has changed my life..."

    I started services here in 2018 with Melinda, and it literally has changed my life. I used to have really bad acne and fatigue that I had tried everything for. I literally don't have those anymore! It also has been so helpful for trauma symptoms.

  • "All of the providers that I have seen are very well versed and get to the bottom of what is going on. "

    I have had nothing but wonderful experiences over many years of getting care. All of the providers that I have seen are very well versed and get to the bottom of what is going on. They are very well trained in herbal remedies.
