“tension is who you think you should be, relaxation is who you are.”
· chinese proverb ·
lovely to meet you, i’m Ivy.
I am a licensed acupuncturist and clinical herbalist who resides in Seattle, WA with my loving partner Jason and rambunctious pup Mira. I received my Masters of Science in Acupuncture and East Asian Medicine at Bastyr University and my Bachelor of Arts in Public Health from the University of Washington.
I was first introduced to acupuncture during a chronic bout with histamine intolerance. Every day I was plagued with hives — I had tried all the natural remedies and protocols with no success, leaving me to rely on daily Zyrtec and immense shame in not feeling connected to my body. I was written off several times by doctors until I discovered Chinese medicine.
My first acupuncture appointment was thorough. He spent 45 minutes getting to know me as patient, but more importantly as a person. After ONE treatment, my symptoms were cured and never came back.
You can say I was a firm believer after that.
a little more about me . . .
Nature and movement keep me young and my soul nourished. I believe in Chinese medicine so much because of its ability to draw parallels between our bodies and the inherent ebb and flow of the earth. I believe a lot of disease stems from this disconnection.
I am a huge outdoors person. I love to backpack, hike, forage for medicinal plants and take cold river dips (it’s not very Chinese medicine of me, I know). Outside of that I also enjoy yoga, weightlifting, photography, painting, long walks and hoop dancing.
my rates
sliding scale prices available for single mothers, students and veterans. please reach out to me.
I currently do not accept insurance due to its extremely low compensation rates and its impact on authentic patient treatment plans; however, I am happy to provide you with a superbill for out-of-network coverage.
