Chinese medicine doesn't isolate your symptoms — it looks for the patterns underneath them. Below are the areas where I focus my practice. If you're not sure whether what you're experiencing is something I can help with, start with a free telephone consultation at (503) 962-9871. No forms, no commitment.
"I have received acupuncture treatments from Amy and have found the treatments highly successful, due to Amy's knowledge and professionalism. She listens and diagnoses with compassion and concern. Her overall knowledge of the field of acupuncture is beyond what I have experienced with treatments in the past. I highly recommend Amy."

One in eight couples experiences fertility challenges. Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine support both female and male fertility — regulating cycles, improving egg and sperm quality, reducing miscarriage risk, and significantly improving outcomes for women undergoing IVF or IUI. I work alongside your reproductive endocrinologist, not instead of them.
Hot flashes, disrupted sleep, mood shifts, brain fog, irregular cycles — perimenopause and menopause can arrive gradually or all at once. Acupuncture and herbal medicine offer real, measurable relief without hormones or side effects. Most women notice a difference within four to six treatments.
Acupuncture is one of the safest and most effective drug-free options during pregnancy. I support women through every trimester — relieving nausea, back pain, insomnia, headaches, sciatica, and anxiety. I also use moxibustion to help encourage breech babies to turn after 32 weeks.
Your cycle is a window into your overall health. I treat PMS, painful or irregular periods, PCOS, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and amenorrhea — addressing the hormonal imbalances at the root rather than masking symptoms.
Seasonal allergies, asthma, sinusitis, and immune support. Treating before allergy season begins builds resilience. Treating during an acute episode provides rapid symptom relief.
Back pain, arthritis, TMJ, sciatica, frozen shoulder, sports injuries, and post-surgical recovery. Acupuncture is often more effective than pain medication for musculoskeletal conditions — and without the side effects.
Chronic stress, anxiety, and insomnia are among the most common reasons women come to see me. Acupuncture works at the nervous system level — calming the stress response, improving sleep quality, and treating the physical symptoms that accumulate when the body stays in a constant state of alert.
Post-surgical scars that are tight, numb, or painful can restrict movement and affect surrounding tissue. Acupuncture and moxibustion reduce scar adhesions, restore sensation, and accelerate recovery in ways that topical treatments cannot.
