I was a little disappointed to move to an area that felt removed from the hype, but over time I have come to love and appreciate my neighborhood so much – the quietude, the resident eagles, the fig tree I harvest every fall… My husband and I inherited a community garden plot just up the road from our house which has been deeply nourishing for both of us. I never imagined having a clinic in this neighborhood, but now I can’t imagine it being anywhere else.” The clinic is located on the second floor of a multi-use building originally built in the late 1800’s. It has the charm of an older space with an updated, clean feel. The layout is unique in a way that allows for Mallory’s long-time vision – to have a space for both individual and group acupuncture. “When I’m in the clinic, I feel like I’m perched in an osprey nest. There’s something about operating above the bustle of humanity and concrete. I feel held in a way that I hope my patients will feel, too. Unfortunately, because of the age of the building, the clinic is *not ADA accessible.” The white walls serve as a canvas for meaningful images and mementos by family and life acquisitions as well as a gallery for artwork done by Indigenous creators. Some of the artwork is from Mallory’s personal collection, and others are for sale by Native American Prison Art Project. “Growing up in South Central Montana, I have always found Native art to be so beautiful. The connection to land and spirit that is inherent in Native culture comes through these pieces and I find that to be such a healing experience. I started buying art from Native creators years before I ever knew I would have a clinic. Now that they are up in the space, I see that I was building this clinic from the inside out.” The clinic is a tribute to the people, land and experiences that have been sources of healing throughout Mallory’s life and she hopes that these can be sources of healing for her patients, too. [*The front and main entrance has a long, narrow stairway leading up to the clinic. If you have a disability that prevents you from walking up multiple stairs, please contact Mallory and she will guide you to an entrance to the back of the clinic with only 3 stairs. If you are in a wheelchair, or unable to leave your house, she is reserving time to do a limited number of house calls.

The Veteran’s Health Administration (VA) provides acupuncture visits through their community care program, which we are a part of. If you are a veteran, or know a veteran, read below to see how you can get visits with us at no cost to you! https://www.yourdearbody.com/about-thepractitioners-1 daily 0.75 2025-03-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbacf5f7c058206994ed70d/bc52863e-1285-4c48-861e-1bf2544929cd/Dear+Body-39.jpg about the practitioners - Mallory Harman-Nguyen, LAc DACM (she/her) PORTLAND / GRAND RONDE HEALTH & WELLNESS CENTER / GREAT CIRCLE RECOVERY PDX “I received my first acupuncture treatment in 2014 following the death of my grandmother. Though this was not the reason for my visit, it was one of the many elements that was addressed in that intake. We spoke about the grief of my grandmother passing, the chronic pain in my low back, and the life-long anxiety I suffered from genetics and growing up in a household struggling with substance use disorders. I was a bit confused as to how my chief complaint of “low back pain” had led us to discuss those seemingly unrelated themes, but I didn’t question it as I had never felt so wholly met the way I did in that moment. I left the treatment not only feeling relief from the pinchy pain in my sacro-iliac joint, but I felt lighter, clearer, and for the first time in a long time, I felt a sense of peace.” Mallory is a Portland, OR based Licensed Acupuncturist (LAc) and Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine (DACM) with over 10 years of experience working in the health and wellness industry in countries including the USA, Nepal, Perú, Nicaragua, and México. She is the founder, owner, and primary acupuncturist of dearbody, a clinic providing acupuncture and East Asian medicine to the people of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. In addition to private practice, she contracts with the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde providing acupuncture out of their health and wellness center on the Grand Ronde reservation. She also provides acupuncture groups 2x/month at Great Circle Recovery PDX, a tribally-owned opioid treatment program in east Portland. In the past, Mallory worked as the primary acupuncturist and Acupuncture Detoxification Specialist (ADS) with the Native American Rehabilitation Association (NARA) and as an on-call acupuncturist with Central City Concern (CCC), a non-profit organization providing addictions services, general health services, housing, and employment in efforts to help people “end or avoid homelessness.” She volunteered as faculty and as a liaison for the Barefoot Acupuncture Movement (BAM), a global project whose mission is to partner with underserved communities to build resiliency through acupuncture. “I knew from my first experience working at a medical clinic that offered services on a sliding fee scale that I wanted to work in public health. I have a particular interest in working with Indigenous peoples and other communities who have been marginalized and who experience barriers to quality, affordable care. I hope to continue the legacy of the acupuncturists & organizers before me who believe, and have always vigorously believed, that acupuncture is for everyone.” Mallory has experience treating a wide range of medical conditions, including but not limited to: chronic pain, migraines, digestive issues, injury/surgery rehabilitation, gynecological issues, substance use disorders, and trauma. She prefers a simple, integrative approach – trusting the body’s inherent ability to heal when given time, space, and indicated medicines (whether they be from East or West). Alongside acupuncture, she loves to integrate manual therapies into her treatments such as cupping, gua sha, and myo-fascial release techniques. She has experience working in remote communities (abroad and on Native reservations), which have inspired her to get trained as an emergency medical technician (EMT) and a medical person in charge (MPIC). In addition to acupuncture & East Asian medicine, Mallory loves connecting with wildlife, feeling supported by animals and their symbolism which inspires her to bring their medicinal energies into clinical practice. She enjoys spending time with her husband (@berlupdx, @berlubakery) & two children (daughter Sen & dog Benny), but also loves solitude, going to musicals and movies in Portland’s historic theaters, and singing monthly karaoke with a beloved colleague. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbacf5f7c058206994ed70d/239e21c3-9970-451c-b41c-38e377acda95/Dear+Body-36.jpg about the practitioners - Ellisia B. Grove, MSOM, L.Ac (she/her) PORTLAND As a guide and fellow companion in healing, I believe that we must nurture a core of compassion to heal personal and collective suffering. While I am a highly sensitive and empathic provider, my clinical approach is researched, inuitive, and thorough. I offer a methodical, systems-based assessment for physical and emotional wellness, and I use East Asian acupuncture, Chinese herbalism, manual therapy techniques, and mindfulness to facilitate our work. As someone attuned to subtle body energy, I remain open to receiving clairscentient guidance as I work; sometimes messages arrive in thought form, and other times I feel Qi moving in my body. I enjoy practicing from a principle of connectedness, and feel particularly called to serve the organic wholeness and transformation of my patients. I endeavor to provide inclusive care for all individuals across the lifespan, with experience treating acute and chronic pain, psycho-emotional health, neurodiversity, and metabolic and hormonal health concerns. When I’m not working, I enjoy music, traveling, cooking and knitting! I am committed to my own inner inquiry, and regularly connect with my spirit and nature allies. My friends and partnership are my lifeline, and if I can make a silly joke, I will. Education I hold a Master of Science in Oriental Medicine (MSOM) from the Southwest Acupuncture College, located in Boulder, CO. I’ve completed a comprehensive training of Hakomi and META somatic therapy methods, with special interest in core wounding, attachment, and trauma. I actively engage in ongoing study with senior acupuncturists and mentors, and I pursue reading focused on ethics, racial equity, environmental justice, gender identity, and non-ordinary states of consciousness. While it’s not academic work per se, Earth School is very important to me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbacf5f7c058206994ed70d/858d1308-1495-4f70-a223-20eeacc5e164/Grace+2*.jpeg about the practitioners - Grace Rodriguez, L.Ac, DACM (she/her) Language: English PORTLAND / GRAND RONDE HEALTH AND WELLNESS CENTER Grace’s call to practice East Asian medicine originates in her mixed heritage and multicultural ancestry of gardeners, cooks, farmers and healers from all around the world. Despite differences in time, culture, and geography, her lineage shares a common thread: a deep connection with plant life and the natural world, which they cultivated to nourish and care for their communities. Grace was also raised in a military family and learned to find connection to the earth and people around her, no matter where she was living. Following a significant loss in 2017, Grace found comfort and renewal in the garden, where her connection to the healing power of the natural world deepened. Immersed in the ever-changing rhythms of life, she came to see these cycles around her reflected within herself. This experience inspired her to support others through life’s transitions, fostering growth, connection, and trust in one’s own innate ability to heal. Grace chose to practice East Asian Medicine because it honors each person’s unique experience while recognizing the interconnectedness of everyone and everything. As a neurodivergent-affirming and trauma-informed practitioner, Grace values compassionate communication, authenticity, and partnership with her patients, always taking into consideration unique needs & boundaries. She loves to talk about the medicine, too; asking questions and sharing experiences are always welcomed in Grace’s treatment room! Treatments with Grace may include a variety of modalities, including acupuncture, teishin (non-insertive needling), Chinese herbal medicine, cupping, guasha, massage, nutritional therapy and lifestyle counseling. Her treatment style is gentle and simple, all while getting to the root of the issue. She is comfortable working with patients of all ages, those who are new to acupuncture or uncertain about needles, and patients who receive regular treatment. Outside of the clinic, Grace loves to cook and garden, play indie video games, snuggle with her two cats, and make crafts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbacf5f7c058206994ed70d/a9b496af-26bf-427b-beeb-60b729bf5fb0/0.jpg about the practitioners - Alison Healy, LAc (she/her) GRAND RONDE HEALTH & WELLNESS CENTER Alison is a practitioner of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

If you are unable to fill it out ahead of time, please arrive 15-20 mins before your scheduled appointment to fill it out in clinic. Other things to consider beforehand: make sure to eat something ahead of time (find the sweet spot between not-too-full and not-too-hungry) try to avoid caffeine for a few hours before your appointment bring a list of medications/supplements you are taking (unless you already listed them on your intake paperwork) as well as any relevant diagnostic imaging or other relevant medical records (if you have them) When you arrive for your appointment, we will bring you into the treatment room where we will chat about what brings you into clinic. We may also perform some orthopedic testing &/or other diagnostic testing. At this point, you may be asked to undress to your comfort level. For individual acupuncture, you will have the opportunity to undress in private and get onto a massage table which will have sheets for draping. For group acupuncture, you will not undress fully, though we may expose certain areas for treatment e.g. low back or shoulder. The practitioner will come in and talk over the treatment with you before performing any acupuncture, cupping, etc. One you have given verbal consent, we will move forward with treatment. Treatments can last anywhere from 20 minutes to 40 minutes, some of which time the practitioner has left you in the room to relax with the acupuncture pins in. (You will be given a buzzer in case you need to call the practitioner into the room for anything) The practitioner will return to the room, remove the pins, perform any final treatments, then leave the room for you to dress. You will meet the practitioner at the front desk for payment and to schedule another appointment, if indicated. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbacf5f7c058206994ed70d/6a747b21-1beb-4a23-a67e-08e68cc8e569/Copy+of+DearBody-SkullSuture-Nurture-2.png what to expect - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.yourdearbody.com/howtobook daily 0.75 2023-03-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbacf5f7c058206994ed70d/c9bc05df-40c8-4332-a155-5e3a051609d0/Screen+Shot+2022-02-06+at+9.40.47+AM.png how to book an appointment - how to book If you are a cash paying client, the easiest way to book an initial appointment is through our online system (click any of the “schedule now” buttons or go straight to https://yourdearbody.janeapp.com/). You are also welcome to call our phone number (503) - 482 - 9370 to book or send us an email info@yourdearbody.com with any questions. If you are a veteran or you have Careoregon or a tribal insurance, please CALL or EMAIL to set up your first appointment. Once you have booked, you will be sent new patient paperwork to your email. Please fill out in its entirety ahead of time or come 15-20 mins before your scheduled appointment. If you arrive more than 15 mins late, you may be asked to reschedule. At times, we see patients every 30 minutes and this puts a big strain on the flow of the schedule, not to mention cuts into your treatment. cancellation policy Your appointment time is reserved just for you. A late cancellation or missed visit leaves a hole in the practitioners’ day that could have been filled by another patient. As such, we require 24 hours notice for any cancellations (individual or group treatments). Failure to do so will result in a charge that is 1/2 your treatment rate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbacf5f7c058206994ed70d/0f3e06d1-ba6f-412f-8d9d-86928a3194e3/Copy+of+DearBody-SkullSuture-Nurture-2.png how to book an appointment - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.yourdearbody.com/veterans daily 0.75 2022-07-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbacf5f7c058206994ed70d/739195f1-4e9f-4dad-b375-81b4e5e7efba/Screen+Shot+2022-07-01+at+8.14.13+AM.png veterans - Acupuncture for Veterans Did you know that you are eligible for acupuncture through the VA?
