All about Joy:

Before earning my Masters Degree in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine at the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, my career began as a Tour Manager in the Music Business. I eventually realized I could not sustain the mental, emotional and physical demand for the rest of my life without sacrificing my health in the process. I needed balance and soon discovered the vast benefits of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine. I decided to follow my nurturing quality in taking care of others and learn a new skill that would allow me to help people, as well as myself. Always having an interest in Medicine, I decided to leave Manhattan and move to Portland and dive deep into learning about the benefits of Chinese Medicine and the many modalities it encompasses. Originally from Houston, I have lived in Austin, Los Angeles, Miami and New York City before calling Portland home. I have travelled extensively overseas on tour as well as throughout the US. I have a passion for traveling and it is my hope to share my knowledge of what I have learned in the healing arts with others. I recently volunteered in rural Nepal for two months treating those who had no access to healthcare. My invaluable experience there has allowed me to observe and treat a high volume of patients with a wide variation of conditions. When I am not treating patients, I enjoy running, yoga, painting, writing, piano, exploring the beauty of the Northwest by hiking, camping and backpacking, tango and learning German. I have always believed in pushing ones self to continually attain knowledge and understanding of the world around us, its inhabitants and the possibilities we each possess within. My desire is to help you reach your goals on your journey for balance and health, and to provide you with comfort physically, mentally and emotionally. I look forward to meeting you!

Joy will be offering two specialized services in addition to private acupuncture appointments:

1. mini bliss session: auricular acupuncture, foot reflexology and essential oils

2. active lifestyle session: Tuina with cupping and/or Gua sha

*30 minutes each/$45 each

Spring

April 1, 2014 / by Julie Campbell

How does spring make you feel?

Are you worn down from the long winter or excited by the new life bursting out all around you?

If you are like me you are a mixture of both, Summer is hands down my favorite time of year but spring is a runner up. Number one my birthday is in a few days and being a true Aries it is obviously one of my favorite holidays:) I also love the freshness of spring and it may be the only time of year that I welcome the rain (as long as it goes away when summer comes!). I enjoy watching the landscape change and grow and the feeling of everything waking up from a long sleepy darkness. Whichever way you roll there is no denying that Spring is here and it’s time to celebrate the return of color and energy to our great city! In honor of this lovely season I thought it would be a great time to share some of my favorite quotes and pictures on Spring, renewal and living life to the fullest:

If you haven’t noticed I love Pablo Neruda:)

“To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.”

– William Blake (extract from Auguries of Innocence)

“The most important thing is to enjoy your life-to be happy-it’s all that matters.” -Audrey Hepburn

Portland’s waterfront in the Spring-so pretty!

I would love to hear from you! What are your favorite things about the season?
