Liz Asch Greenhill, LAc.
I offer acupuncture and somatic work for transformational experiences, deepening embodiment, heightened creativity, end-of-life care, pain, and to regulate the nervous system.
*
I do not manage care or do primary care. If we are a good fit, I can serve as an auxiliary person in your network. I am a certified herbalist and can bring herbal medicine into your treatment plan. I offer hands-on work as an acupuncturist and hands-off work as an educator on creative embodiment and as an assistant to help bring new methods of integrative creativity to individuals and groups of artists and thinkers.

I am the creator and host of Body Land Metaphor Medicine, a free guided visualization resource on the podcast platform. Listen and get a sense of what it’s like to work with me. These are deep listening experiences that require time set aside in a still, quiet place. They can be listened to in bed for insomnia, via headphones on public transportation for self-regulation, in groups as a guided meditation with an integration discussion afterwards, and so on. They are not to be listened to while driving or multi-tasking. Listen on Spotify, Apple podcasts, Amazon Music, or download directly here on my website. Please share widely. These are a public offering.

You can sign up for a session here for one-on-one acupuncture in my office on East Burnside (second floor, no elevator) across from the Jupiter Hotel/Doug Fir. Or, reach out to me for my availability for a session at your hotel, home, or hospice place of care. I work with individuals and groups (families, coworkers, creative teams, housemates).

I am fully vaccinated and take all Covid precautions. Please take precautions and cancel if you have Covid. Last minute cancellations will be charged a fee.

I am in-network with Providence, MODA, and Pacific Source. If I am out-of-network with your health insurance, you can pay up front and I will give you a superbill to send in to your insurance company so that they reimburse you directly. If the out-of-pocket cost prohibits you from coming in, please email me and let me know. If you are a community organizer for a BIPOC non-profit, you may receive up to four free sessions per year. Sign up under the BLM option for your free healthcare.

Your body is a landscape. You have a river running through you. It horseshoes into a waterfall in the hips.
Rest into nature and into your body through this image of a river running down your spine. This is designed to help increase qi flow in the hips and pelvis.
Feeling a little lighter?
Let’s amplify that sensation with this visualization to help you somaticize the sensation of freedom.

Approximately 2/3 of our bodies are water. In Chinese Medicine, water is the yin energy that anchors us, calms us, and replenishes our nervous system. Take a plunge into some fresh natural river imagery to refill your 67%.
Feeling grateful for water? Make a donation to help clean up the Verde River in Arizona, the Lower Snake River in Washington, and support the Waterkeeper Alliance.
Keeping it real, keeping it surreal, and keeping it brief. Let’s do more with less with a season of extra shorty visualizations for the now. Wishing you good health, good luck, and composure for the continued intensity of 2020.
Feeling a bit drained these days? Working on your hashtag boundaries? We’ve got some six feet of separation self-care for ya. I talk super briefly about how fractal patterns of self:other are part of the body’s defenses from the perspective of Chinese Medicine and then we drop into a super soothing visualization that helps you disentangle your energy from others which ultimately benefits your immune system.
