ABOUT
Meet Carla
I came to acupuncture as a patient first. Years of chronic low back pain and a body that wouldn't settle led me to a treatment room where, for the first time, someone looked at the whole picture instead of one symptom at a time.
That experience shaped how I practice today. I hold a Master's in Acupuncture from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine and I'm board certified, with a focus on sports medicine, pain management, and reproductive health. Alongside my clinical training, I've completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training and volunteered with the Acupuncture Relief Project in rural Nepal.
You won't get a one-size-fits-all protocol here. We'll work together to understand what's driving your symptoms, and build something that fits your body and your life.

Your first visit, step by step
If you've never had acupuncture before, here's what to expect.
01
WE TALK
Your first appointment starts with a thorough conversation about your health history, your symptoms, and what you're hoping to change. Plan for about 90 minutes.
02
WE TREAT
Based on what we uncover, I'll create a treatment plan for the session. You'll rest with the needles in place for around 20 to 30 minutes – most people drift off.
03
WE PLAN AHEAD
Before you leave, we'll discuss what to expect afterward, how often to come in, and any movement or lifestyle adjustments that support your progress.
