Chinese Herbal Medicine

Whole foods and Chinese herbal medicine are part of the same spectrum of nutritional therapy. Many foods have medicinal properties, and many medicinal herbs are also foods. Herbs are food as medicine. Proper nourishment, including a whole foods diet, is an essential part of restoring balance to body, mind and spirit. A healthy lifestyle and diet enhances the therapeutic benefits of Five Element acupuncture.

this is the second acupuncturist I have been working with. My last one just wasn't working out. I had about 5 sessions so far working with Elizabeth her technique and approach is exactly what I have been looking for. She is professional with an empathic approach to healing it shows in how long she's been practicing (over 20 yrs). I carry a lot of my trauma in my body and I'm finding the results I need to carry about on my day with out all that trauma being stuck in my being. I still need to do my other work in maintaining my healthy diet and exercise. The addition of working with Elizabeth, My healing path is moving right along. Anyone who has experienced trauma and it's affecting your life in subtle and confusing ways, I would recommend Inner Works Acupunture.

I feel so lucky to have found Inner Works Acupuncture. I’ve been seeing Liz for a year now and have found her to play an integral role in my healing journey. This is my first experience with Five Elements acupuncture and I believe the holistic approach is really impactful. I originally sought out Liz given her experience with autoimmunity and the autoimmune protocol but I’ve stayed with Liz because we have built a meaningful and trusting relationship that I value very much. Her presence is warm and compassionate and her office feels like a quiet, serene escape tucked away in NW Portland. I leave each appointment feeling grounded and inspired to continue taking care of myself.

Liz has literally changed my life. She was able heal debilitating physical ailments that had a root cause in suppressed trauma. Through her trauma-informed practice, I was able to heal, and have since had minimal physical symptoms. It was like she opened a door that I didn’t even realize was closed. She has kickstarted an amazing journey of self discovery and healing, and I have made huge leaps and bounds...
Liz has literally changed my life. She was able heal debilitating physical ailments that had a root cause in suppressed trauma. Through her trauma-informed practice, I was able to heal, and have since had minimal physical symptoms. It was like she opened a door that I didn’t even realize was closed. She has kickstarted an amazing journey of self discovery and healing, and I have made huge leaps and bounds in my own mental health because of her. I cannot thank her enough - I recommend her to anyone I have the chance to tell.
