We offer transformative acupuncture to reduce pain (physical and emotional) and support the nervous system and whole being. We do not offer managed care or primary care. If we are a good fit, we can serve as an auxiliary person in your network. We are both certified herbalists and can bring herbal medicine into your treatment plan, along with bodywork and other Eastern Medicine modalities. Liz is also an educator on creative embodiment and offers virtual sessions to individuals and groups of artists and thinkers.

Liz is 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. Seasons 1-4 are in English, and season 5 is en Español.

You can sign up for a session here for one-on-one acupuncture at 811 East Burnside (second floor, no elevator) across from the Jupiter Hotel. Or, reach out to Yumé for her availability for a session at your hotel, home, or hospice place of care.

We are in-network with Providence, MODA, and Pacific Source. If we are out-of-network with your health insurance, you can pay up front and we 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 us and let us 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.

A reminder about parking your car at 811 E. Burnside:

Please park on the street (not the lot behind 811). Parking is free on 8th, 9th, Couch, and other side streets. Parking on Burnside requires payment with the Parking Kitty app.

For your first visit, allow 90 minutes in the office. Follow-ups are 55 minutes or 75 minutes, depending on whether you sign up for a shorter session (brief intake with acupuncture/acupressure) or a longer one (more complex intake, acupuncture/acupressure with added methods (cupping, moxa) and a deeper rest time.

 

INsurance Billing

This LINK will take you to my page about Insurance Billing. Please read the whole thing, call your insurance company, and take notes. Thank you for collaborating with me to work with your insurance together!

Out-of-pocket payment

A 50-minute session is $150. A 75-minute session is $180. If you like more time to talk, more time on the table, or you want bodywork, cupping, or moxa during your session, schedule the 75 minute visit.

The first session is $250 because we spend 90 minutes going over your health history and other first-time information.

For all sessions, the amount of minutes is the amount of time of the entire appointment, when you walk in to when you head out. If you are running late, your session will be shorter.

Payment must be made at time of service. We accept cash, check, credit cards, and HSA and FSA cards.

Embodied Creativity (not-Acupuncture sessions)

Liz offers sessions in her method of Creative Embodiment, integrating somatics with guided visualization work based on surrealism, deep image poetics, Eastern Medicine, and other pre-modern medicine theories. These sessions cannot be billed to insurance. They are virtual online and they are offered in a 3-pack or one at a time. You can schedule online.

INvesting in your health

A word about paying out of pocket. I know it can be hard to spend money on something like acupuncture, especially if your expectation is that it will or should be covered by insurance and it isn’t. The sad fact is that insurance coverage for acupuncture is grossly under available. This is likely something you will have to spring for yourself, much like having to shell out for the plumber to visit, or a new roof, or new tires or an overhaul to make a vehicle stay safe. Just like how insurance for a car or home cover some things and they do not cover a lot of other things, health insurance is the same way. It covers some things, and does not cover a lot of other necessary expenses to keep your investment in good shape.

Your body is your primal and original home. You live in it 24-7 above all else. You live in your body and in your psyche and in your spirit. Acupuncture supports your body, mind, heart, and soul. When your body and psyche do not feel aligned or safe or in a state of resonance, how much is it worth to you to feel better?

I invite you to consider shifting your perspective on the idea of investing. The sessions I provide are a full body, being, and soul experience. This work is reparative and restorative on all of those levels. When you come in, we clear tension and stuckness that have been trapped in your body for long spans of time. This work is a deep and powerful investment in yourself. It builds self-awareness. It’s cumulative and it helps you unload, clear, grow, learn, and thrive. You deserve it.

MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS

We can bill auto insurance for Motor Vehicle Accidents provided you have an open and active claim in the state of Oregon. 

Anyone who is injured in a motor vehicle accident (passenger, driver, pedestrian, or on bicycle) in the state of Oregon is allowed medical care for rehabilitation. This includes acupuncture, and you do not need a referral. If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident, you are eligible for free acupuncture and shiatsu for the recovery of your injuries. Please contact me for more information or simply hop online to schedule a first appointment.

If you have maxed out your allotment, I will bill your health insurance, and if that does not go through, you are responsible for payment.
