(she/her)

Chelsea is passionate about providing trauma-informed care that acknowledges the multitude of factors that impact health, well-being, and the manifestation of symptoms. She views East Asian medicine from a weight-neutral, non-diet, social-justice-informed lens. She uses a whole-body approach to address physical symptoms while prioritizing the connection between physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Chelsea applies the practice of acupuncture and East Asian medicine to a wide variety of conditions and symptoms including but not limited to:

• Acute and chronic pain
• Auto accident recovery
• Digestive issues
• Hormonal health
• Anxiety and depression
• Insomnia and sleep disorders

Chelsea also offers adjunctive eating disorder care by addressing the symptoms of both eating disorders and eating disorder recovery. She is invested in collaborative and safe experiences of health care where individuals can connect with and trust their bodies’ inherent wisdom.

Chelsea graduated with her Masters of Acupuncture with a Chinese Herbal Medicine Specialization from NUNM in 2022. She uses acupuncture, moxa, cupping, Chinese herbal medicine, and craniosacral therapies to address your concerns with a multifaceted approach.

Chelsea swam competitively her whole life and now coaches with the Portland Aquatic Club in her free time. She also enjoys powerlifting, getting outside to hike and ski, playing the cello, singing karaoke, eating pizza, and snuggling with her rescue pup, Juniper.
