Lydia draws from several modalities to facilitate the health and well-being of her patients. She enjoys combining acupuncture, Chinese herbal formulas, and Shiatsu into the majority of her sessions. A typical treatment may include other techniques such as cupping, moxibustion, and lifestyle advice. The goal is always to have patients leave the treatment table feeling refreshed, calm, and empowered towards their natural healing process. Lydia strives to tailor each treatment to the individual’s needs and meet them where they are at, while reminding them of their innate resilience and strength.
Lydia attended the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, where she found an immense passion for the dynamic possibilities and treatment styles that Chinese Medicine can provide. Lydia has advanced training in Shiatsu and Tuina styles of bodywork, as well as a deep passion and understanding of herbal medicine. As well as treating several acute and chronic pain management issues, Lydia enjoys working with individuals managing mental health concerns, women’s health, and digestive issues.
When she is not in the clinic, Lydia tries to spend as much time as she can in the woods hiking, backpacking, and participating in various outdoor activities. She believes that there is a strong correlation between Chinese Medicine and nature. When in Portland on her spare time, she can be found biking to a local park or body of water, rollerskating, or adding to her record collection.
