BEET what's holding you back.
Four promises we keep at every visit.
Bespoke
Your points, your herbs and your plan are chosen for you and adjusted as you change.
Custom formulas in teas, tinctures or granules from suppliers that test for identity, purity and contaminants; reviewed against your medications.
Elevated
Doctoral-level training, the right tools, and the time to understand why you feel this way.
90-minute first visit, 60-minute follow-ups; acupuncture, electroacupuncture, laserpuncture, cupping, gua sha, tui na, dry needling and ear protocols; coordination with your other providers.
Empowering
You'll know what we're doing, why, and what to do between visits.
Nearly 20 years coaching athletes; six years teaching graduate students; clear goals and checkpoints; qigong and breathing homework.
Transparent
You know what care costs before you commit.
Prices published online; packages refunded pro rata if you stop; visits never expire; HSA/FSA cards and superbills accepted.
Open evenings, Wednesday–Friday, 4:00pm–9:30pm
Commuting from Vancouver or Portland? Book after work — no need to take time off.
Who we help first
Coach-minded acupuncture and herbal medicine for people who refuse to stay sidelined by pain, poor sleep or burnout.
Lifters, runners, hikers and cyclists come to us when pain, poor sleep or burnout start cutting into training and daily life — and stay for a plan built around how they actually move.
