Sol Shine Acupuncture and Healing

Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine

As a Chinese medicine practitioner, I enjoy treating a wide variety of conditions and patients. I consider myself to have a gentle touch — I am patient and compassionate — especially if you feel intimidated by needles. I am also comfortable with stronger techniques if you may be interested in trigger point therapy. I have studied many healing techniques and I am committed to finding the right modalities for your needs.

Healing & Natural Medicine

Over 25 years ago, I began my journey into the world of natural medicine and healing. My interest in how diet affects our health led me to study nutrition, exercise, mind/body connection, herbal medicine, supplement therapy, and Chinese medicine. My broad array of interests led me take on one of these wonderful modalities as a full time profession and I now offer healing acupuncture services to patients in Portland, Oregon.

Conditions

While I enjoy treating all conditions, I have a particular affinity for practicing internal medicine.

My practice is focused on internal medicine, which includes:

digestive issues
urinary system dysfunctions
cardiac problems
women’s health
hormone imbalances
allergies
autoimmune disorders
dietary and lifestyle support

I also enjoy helping my patients reduce and/or eliminate pain. As a former athlete, I understand how disabling it can feel when your body is in pain, especially from injuries. I am motivated to help you heal so you can get you back to the activities you love.

I help my patients reduce and/or eliminate pain through: acupuncture, cupping, massage, herbal medicine, and electro-acupuncture.

My Story of Healing

In 2000, I was introduced to Chinese medicine through acupuncture and herbal medicine. Like many people, I knew very little about acupuncture and was skeptical of its efficacy. After my first treatment, I was much more relaxed and present in my body. I also noticed a significant reduction in stress, which was my primary motivation to seek regular treatments. Since then I have found success using acupuncture and Chinese medicine to improve my own health issues, which have included kidney stones, stress, pain, seasonal colds, fatigue, and heart disease.
